elmoputney Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 I think the 12lb is 0.35mm and like the hydrotuff breaks well above the stated BS, so essentially it is a 15lb line and then some, it's also very abrasion resistant and also fairly low stretch, well worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, goes without say....Carp in this/these lakes are not known for making shows. I've caught from the lake on the Left from the Red Dot (Boat Ramp) & Red Line (Bird/Duck Feeding Area)....I've fished the Bowl Bank (Green Line). The lake on the Right I've only fished once, has fewer fish but has the bigger fish and 1 of the fish is on my to catch list (Below) "Half Lin" yonny and commonly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmcee Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 The duck feeding area on Dinton pastures Black Swan lake would often do bites. After the public had gone you'd see a carpet of bread crumbs on the lake bed but in the morning it looked like a hoover had been through there, not a crumb in sight. Personally I'd avoid the pva bags to start with if heading straight to duck feeding area, instead I'd flick out a single with a light lead or a choddy. You don't want to spook any carp with a large splash from a bag as they maybe feeding still on the previous days bread etc. But as Yonny rightly says, on a day session it's all about finding them first. If they're not showing there will still be little signs. These could be small swirls on the surface, the odd bubble hitting the surface in a certain area or the more obvious signs of big fizzers or coloured water. 21 hours ago, Higham1987 said: That's what I was actually thinking, people are forever feeding the ducksbwith Bread in this area, last time I fished a Nas White coconut wafter and caught, I should be there for 1st light, all gear is practically ready.....PVA Bags mainly filled with crumb boilie, groundbait, Manilla Active Mix and few pellets, all need to is to inject with manilla food liquid. yonny, Higham1987 and crusian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it the other week, tested Friday after feeling rough Thursday evening, and quite a few of my colleagues did too. Wasn't that pleasant but rather than spreading it with my family and isolating at home,I got out the house after cleaning it before they came home,and I spent 2 nights isolating on the bank, it wasn't easy I would do stuff then have a long rest, but I ploughed through, I even moved to the other end of the lake,that was tough going, but I could've spent 2 nights blanking and when I got a chance to fish for two nights, I couldn't waste it. My family didn't all catch it so we all did OK. Higham1987, commonly, crusian and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouchthathurt Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 Rods out on my first session of my new campaign water. it appeared on my club book, no one knows what’s really in here. No one really fishes it and it was stocked 20yrs ago with 50 or so carp. I saw a 26lb on the bank and that was me sold! Just down for a few hours today to get the eye on the water and the first session ticked off. crusian, Higham1987, jules007 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught it around 3rd week in July, tested positive for about 6 days and spent another 4 at home until I felt right, just thankful I didn't lose my sense of taste and smell, because I dearly love to eat and drink. I notice my memory isn't quite as sharp since then, and I may have to wait an hour or day to remember a name or fact that should come easily. Yesterday I drove to the pharmacy and got a flu shot in the left shoulder, and my 6th covid booster in the right, in and out in 20 minutes, very efficient. kevtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fresh air seems to brighten you up. I do know though, when you have sepsis any session is hard work and I end up sleeping all day when I get home.
