dalej2014 Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 First carp of the year was a bream! Yuck. Slimy brute. No picture of that! Second was a carp. Maybe just a double but great fun on light feeder gear (4lb hooklink) Its-grim-up-north, Danny Hearn, B B and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I suppose I might as well admit to catching from the syndicate lake. I'm not normally worried about ounces, but this time I kept a close eye as we have been going with a regular stocking policy, and was stocked in December 2021 at 16lb. Its now 23.12 Multi-rig with a 3oz running lead again. The buzzer woke me up, but my first thoughts were not polite as I saw a pair of tufties scooting away, followed by 'that's not a tufty'.

Looks like Sky and the carp are having a face off! She's sulking, had to wait for her breakfast as I didn't feed her until I'd got another syndicate member to come to do pics and got it back. Little meshed double pop-up bait on a size 6 and multi-rig doing the business over birdseed and Vitalin. The hook balanced the bait nicely, so it was actually critically balanced. crusian, dalej2014 and B B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Well , had 4 days planned at churn pool with 3 other mates arrived Monday feeling fine , but by Monday night was feeling like death warmed up sickness/ shivering/ aching all over. So had to reel the rods in & they didn't go back out. back home now in bed wondering what a good session it could of been as I did manage to catch before the sickness kicked in . Managed to brake my run of blanks which I'm happy about , but I know it could of been a blinder ,just my luck at the moment it seems 🙈 Its-grim-up-north, commonly, B B and 3 others 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it quite harsh for a few days though it can knock you about, good effort catching those though that's a good session right there tbh. crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonny Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Alright strangers. Not been on here properly for a while as I've been putting 110% into a new job for the last 6 months, not to mention my daughter who just turned 1 year old. This week I managed to get on the bank for just the 2nd time since last August (!).

It's great to see your smiling face , Highy , but please put some suncream on . I have blue eyes and pale skin , and now I'm in my 60s a lifetime of outdoors work / fishing has caught up on me , and I've had some skin cancer ( luckily non spreadable ) cut out of my face . 😃 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
