Its-grim-up-north Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 I managed to get into a few on an early February session.

Well done mate, great result, I'm going tomorrow so hopefully they will be on the move there too, they will probably move away from my swim though 😂 commonly and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don’t forgot your maggots. I reckon there’s a good chance I’d of blanked with out them. definitely a big edge this time of year.

Thanks, I was going with heavily glugged cloudy boilie crumb, Hemp and sweetcorn mix , if I still have time I might nip to the shop I want to secure a good swim though so getting there ASAP is my priority first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its-grim-up-north Posted February 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Safe to say I’ve uncovered a cold weather hang out, when lapping the lake and almost falling in when standing on the withered bullrushes I’ve realised there must be a good 2 to 3 metres of covered secluded water underneath them. Definitely a safe warm spot the carp are gavering up in…. Two more falling to the maggot and corn loose feed combo, with a trimmed down yellow pop up and maggot topper as the hook bait. bluelabel, yonny, elmoputney and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouchthathurt Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Went pike fishing yesterday for a few hours, used two rods, one with a float fished mackerel tail, the other using lures. Had 7 in the end, one on bait the rest on lures trying to upload some pics, but it isn’t working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchthathurt Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 This one struck a static spinner while I was setting up and wetting the braid, I hadn’t even got the unhooking mat out, that will teach me to get them all ready before placing a hook in the water! bluelabel and finchey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchthathurt Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Nothing big, but good sport then I noticed something slightly amiss with my car tyre… a 30min slightly worrying drive and £80 later I had a new replacement fitted. Bit of luck I noticed it, I drive to Belgium tomorrow! B B and finchey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelabel Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Had this yesterday... a repeat capture form a year or so ago at a pound or so heavier... caught on a 12' Marco Test and Fred Crouch Aerial, 4lb mainline and 3lb hooklink, to a size 18 hook and double maggot... a mother of all fights, but it went back strongly... finchey, B B, jh92 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
