ouchthathurt Posted July 14 Report Posted July 14 Dusting off my old shimano aero 11ft 2 1/4lb tc carp rods and 6000 shimano baitrunners on a little pond in the Mole valley. Literally fishing under the rod tips, my baits are each side of the end of the boards. Iāve not used these rods in maybe 15yrs, but this lake didnāt suit either my 12ft 3lb fox torque or my 12 3.5lb fox horizon rods, average carp mid-high singles, with the odd low double, so a lovely through actioned rod like these ones are so much more matched and more fun to play carp on.Ā salokcinnodrog, commonly and jules007 3 Quote

Bird flu took a big hit on them, more so than the geese.Ā The lake, which is just up the road from Lopham Fen seems to be a spot for young swans to grow before they go get their own territory. The 2 dominant pairs, there were 3,Ā but 1 was killed in a swan fight keep moving them about. crusian 1 Quote

kevtaylor Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Thought we were in for some bites over the weekend with some favourable conditions at last.Ā Only fish seen were in a section with no swims between points - absolutely choked with weed. Plotted up nearby in whats become the usual swims for a little while now - 6 weekends. Changed back to pop-ups but rained the baiting right back to just a few boilies with the catapult. 10pm a decent one clatters out in my water, we both hear it and think game on.Ā But as usual that was all the activity all weekend, what a kick in the nuts! Think the fish was just telling us he was off somewhere š¤£ Plus points - bivvy pegs are good and seen dear on the island again - sorry for the phone pic.
