Higham1987 Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Last time i ACTUALLY got out was August, just to bed in my Line, test out the Tempest 200....looming back in my folder it's showing last time I photo'd a fish was April last year, but I must have caught and not pictured. But since then you guys know I've practically sold all my Gear, and have enough just for day sessions now. Just need a simple shelter incase of the rain and to keep the pooch 🐕 with me.

yonny Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Managed to get out for an overnighter on Friday. A little syndi water I joined last year. I managed a night in September and lost one in the weed which was a bit rubbish. Not had the chance to fish it again until Friday so I was buzzing to be back. Anyway..... it was quite busy when I turned up. Managed to find the carp pretty quickly, shoaled up in front of a swim that was taken 👎. Closest I could get was a swim down the way which was v tricky to get to. Loads of mud and puddles 6 inches deep meant that not many were prepared to fish it. On go the waders and I manage to get my barrow there eventually. The swim itself was underwater so it wasn't the most comfortable session. Found a spot for the brolly back behind some trees which was muddy but doable. The swim was weedy as anything but managed to find a couple of little spots. Choddy but clear enough for a pop-up. The rods went out nicely and I put 2 spods over each rod. Not much happened in the day but I saw enough signs to think the night would give me a chance. Popped a couple more spods over each spot ready for the evening ahead and settled down for the night. Sometime in the night I started to get liners on the right hand spot so was pretty confident of a bite. Couple of hours later off it went and a nice little mirror ended up in the net just before first light. A lovely little fully scaled thing. Thirty mins later the liners started on the left hand rod so I was expecting another but it just didn't materialise. Disappointing but hey, I'd just caught my first from the water so can't complain. Showed the kipper pic to the syndi group and no-one recognised it. One chap said he might have had it on opening night in the 2015 season (!) so it looks like it's a rare'n. Not a biggun but a very, very pretty fish. Not sure when I can get back now which is a shame as I really like the place despite all the mud!

Thanks mate, it was a nightmare having to start again, I didn’t realise how much money I had in my gear until I added it all up after it was gone. commonly and emmcee 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
