Paul S Posted August 10 Report Posted August 10 One from this weekend.. Only taken on a phone but with some editing they can look ok.. Golden Paws, yonny, commonly and 2 others 5 Quote
kevtaylor Posted yesterday at 08:19 Report Posted yesterday at 08:19 An overnighter sat/sun felt that I was on for a big-un, 9pm a big fish rolled on the right tree line which got me going. 7am a take and I cant get out the bivvy quick enough coz of a dead arm and it manages to take line off a very tight clutch and makes the trees resulting in a cut off - absolutely gutted tbh, should have been up sat by the rod as I knew 7am was bite time! Oh well next time I guess. Paul S, crusian and yonny 3 Quote

I actually found the carp this time too... chilling out not 30y out in a weed bed. Unfortunately I only had 4oz leads on me and the carp weren't to fond of them crashing onto their heads. Schoolboy error. Got straight on the phone to order a bunch of 2 and 2.5oz for next time. I was convinced they'd be back the next day but they didn't show up. To rub it in I found them all in the shallows on my trek back to the car to go home. crusian and kevtaylor 1 1 Quote

I used my baiting pole to get them out nice and quiet this trip, might have worked in your situation, I know you don't like tech but it's only a stick with a cup on the end lol I was pretty amazed to find I was fishing an easy underarm, turned out to be 24 metres, looked more like 10 max yonny 1 Quote

Thing is it's miles round this lake so taking everything isn't really an option. In fact I'm taking as little as I can get away with! I'm even leaving the brew kit at home 😧 kevtaylor 1 Quote

He's right though, noddy move, this one will stay with me for a long time. I had a feeling I was on for a big-un and the power of the take suggests it was just that!!! Fishing is cruel at times, the losses haunt me! I remember the worst losses more than the successful ones Quote
