Are you the first to catch from your water this year ? ; also you mention the rushes , do you ever put a bait there , or is it too shallow ? . 😃 She doesn't care as long as she is outside. The fish we have seen today have been mooching along the drop off of the margins. The big problem is getting a bait to the rushes. Not many swims or fishable spots front onto the edge or in front of them, and we aren't allowed to cut swims in the rushes themselves, unless they already exist. crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 well that was an event, first night out with fred of course he slipped his harness and went for a swim, nearly made it to the island in the middle before i had to use my terrier voice he turned and came back, had his coat on as well real strong and keen swimmer, shocked him a bit when he seen i was still on the bank and not swimming with him. anther dog came in the bivvy he was ok with that. not bad considering there was a group of lads a few pegs down breaking wood and having a fire. just watching them no barking. i had two out a common around 12 lb and slightly bigger mirror. crusian, B B, jh92 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouchthathurt Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Well my 2 nighter is over, 9 fish came out, including 3 30s, but none by me! Blankety blank I’m afraid! Bumped one off on the strike after a savage drop back at 3am which kited under the middle rod, setting that one off… I struck the wrong rod at first… nightmare. Still, good to be out! jh92, commonly, buzzbomb and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Bit late with this one it’s been a busy few days (and my sciatica has kicked off big time)😢 Did a 3day social with 6 mates at Merrington Tuesday-Friday and tbh the conditions last wk was rubbish. High pressure bright days overnight frosts N/E Winds tbh we couldn’t have had it any less carpy 🤣🤣. Coming out 6th out of 7 didn’t help my cause but I ended up in an ok swim so all wasn’t lost. The complex switched right off tbh and with zigs banned I knew I’d have to be fishing neat and tidy to pinch a bite. Ended up with this 24lber that was caught to a single dumbbell krill wafter with a bit of washed out pink pop up to give the bait some focus with no freebies on a combi rig and was more than happy with my prize. Unfortunately 3 lads blanked and mine was one of only 5 fish to grace the bank again disappointing but as said the conditions was rubbish. Tbh I’d of fancied my chances on zigs and think I’d of had a few if I had the chance to use em !!! Very frustrating 🤣🤣🤣So it was hometime Friday but given I had a few kilo of pellet and boilies made up a quick grovelling call to the Mrs and the promise of a nice dinner at her favourite pub I got the green light to do a quick night on a local club water only 15mins away with a mate (I had to get rid of the left over bait…….. well that’s my excuse)🤣🤣🤣 so rigs was changed and our chosen venue was a smaller mixed stock snaggy old water….. That holds around a dozen cats up to 50lb. The carp don’t go big in Spring Pool so I opted to fish snowman style 24mm oily bottom baits and 20mm squid n scopex pop up over a couple of kilo of krill and pellet over each rod and was rewarded an hr into dark with this moggy munching 20lb+ All in all a good week at least we had good social weather even tho the fishing wasn’t the best. Came home Saturday morning and sorted my kit out and did the gardens only for Sciatica to kick off big time so it looks like I won’t be on the bank for a few weeks now 😢😢😢 Tight lines,chaps and thanks for reading. 😬😎🎣 yonny, Golden Paws, ... and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
