That probably would have been a better option. Unfortunately having taken the boat, it seemed like a good idea to pile the bait in on 3 tight spots. The weather was pretty mild but the lake low and clear and I should have shown a bit of restraint. Especially as the bloke opposite was depth charging his side of the swim with a spomb! (which wasn't too far from mine.)

Went out Saturday. Found a nice clear margin spot. Chucked a few handfuls in and cast out. Within 10 minutes a young lad started spombing 20 feet from the spot (in his own swim, to be fair, so no issue there) Packed up, moved swims. A hour later he'd gone! Grr!

Anyway, I fear I've wandered off topic, as I didn't catch :(

A cricket bat I caught yesterday from a small water I’m fishing this autumn and upcoming winter. The stocks mostly small commons with some larger ones and about 3 or 4 stunning mirrors. Hopefully il be posting one of those mirrors over the next few months…

One caught this morning after hearing a fish jump close to the bank in the darkness… I dropped a a pop up on its head, the rod screamed off about 15 mins later

Thanks mate I appreciate it, I’ve found being confident with my bait and rigs has allowed me to focus more on my water craft which has resulted in more fish on the bank👍

Very true mate, I’ve been using the same bait recipe for 15+yrs I’m supremely confident in it, carp fishing for me is all about percentages, I know my bait & rigs will work, so I can “forget” about those aspects and concentrate on location & watercraft, knowing the bait & rig aspects are covered.

Thanks mate, I was looking through some catch pics the other day and realised how miserable I look so thought I’d smile more and show I’m happy to catch 🤣

Could be worse mate… B3E1EAD9-5214-44D0-9338-D21B38004137.thumb.jpeg.8d6ef10939039f6445f8217a2231c8b7.jpeg🙄🙄🙄

100%, when you're confident in those 2 things it means you can put 100% into finding them. Fair play mate and keep it up.

A week of fishing with many ups and downs starting on the syndi then onto a day ticket.  7 nights fishing in total and only 36 hours where a bite seemed on the cards.  Thankfully I made the most of that short period and had 5 out all doubles and 20s - no whacker but I really enjoyed the last 2 blank nights  coz I was on the big fish buzz by that time and can't wait to have another go.  New plans made for the syndi after finding the bailliff and his mate fishing my prebaited zones - here we go again - syndi life!

Well done Kev … was it an honest coincidence or did they know you’d been pre-baiting those zones ?

Prob coincidence, I'm taking it as a sign that I'm thinking along the right lines in terms of picking the key areas for the different times of year and patrol routes etc I've now decided on a new little area nearby that will be left alone whilst continuing with the original zones - I'll just have to get there first next time or drop into my new hidey hole. 👀
