Anyone getting thier lines wet?anyone out this weekend?
i'm out Sunday through to Friday on Monks Pit Godmanchester.
Really looking forward to it, been a while since i had my lines in the water. Going to spend Saturday annoying the wife getting bait (boiling up a bunch of hemp) and gear ready.

This spell of warm air(south-westerly) should help the matters,the carp down here on my club waters have not yet started to feed before the mating ritual takes place.

had last week over at Willow lake in France, a venue run by former JRC partners Jeff and Lisa. I managed 8 fish, 7 in the 20lb bracket up to 29.10 and this old girl at 49.13.
Thoroughly enjoyble week shame it went so quick 
Roll on my next session, hopefully on the syndicate

Nice one Darren .....looks just like a Chanty fish
|
Hodster
|
More than likely it is, would have liked to have caught it from there, that would have been a mean feat
|
Big Ron
|
Well you are only a few miles away when you are out at the Lake ......maybe a couple of day trips to Chanty when you out at the lake
if you are over there when we are ...Im sure we can sort somthink out
|
Hodster
|
that sounds like a plan Ron, i'd be well up for that
|

Anyone catching owt at the mo, It's very quiet on the forum lately, what's happened??
|
Big Ron

your always welcome to visit me Ron, we could fish the Halfpit(Linbroke Lake) at Ringwood,one of my locals,20 acres and 30 fish, the first 40lb er came out last week,not by me tho.
|
Big Ron
|
how long can you take a guest on there for Trev ???
|
Hodster
|
Anyone catching at the moment.... or even fishng??? Weather seems to be looking spot on now the pressure has dropped and the heat has moved off for a bit
The last 5 nights have not produced much for me, except a couple of cats to 17lb but i did lose what felt like it could have been a good fish on the last night i fished...
roll on September and the cooler nights i am hoping there are one or two fish that are going to come my way and make my year
|

Hi Darren,I havent had much time to fish lately, went down to the Stour the other eve and had a laugh catching roach,dace,chublet etc, I cant wait to get out to the lake in sept also,hope to see you there,Tre.

just ended a barren spell, well 7 nights (which felt like forever) without banking a carp.... the tally of the 7 nights was 2 cats, one bream, one lost carp and one lost landing net (in my haste to get to work i rushed out the swim without packing the net in the quiver )
monday night went better and i had a 21 mirror, confidence regained and on a change of bait, change of rig and change of tactic back in business and raring to go for this weekends fishing when i will get to fish the whole weekend as opposed to the usual 10 hour overnghters i have been doing, happy days !!!

Well done Hods, thats the same way my fishing goes,some times i get so peed off i go to a piece of backwater on the stour and catch a few roach,perch,bream and even gudgeon!! At the moment I am after my first river carp,I've had the blighters swiming right over my bait even nudging it,but so far nowt,but i'm sure it will happen,so if anyone s got any tips on river carping I'm all ears. I may try the Royalty next week when the kids go back to school(bless em!!!),Trev.

Hi all, quick update on my river fishing, so far no carp, went fishing for barbel on the Royalty and caught a bloody 4lb eel!!! Any body else catching or at least getting out fishing and getting drenched in the end of our soaked summer? all the best,Trev.

Nice one Trev .....was due to go out to the syndicate lake on Sat ......booked the train early thursday mornig ....then they rang me Friday saying they would have to cancel our booking because of the fire in the tunnel 
had a look at the ferrys and the prices had gone through the roof ....so called it off

talking of costs... looks like my financial position is going to take turn for the worse ... the trip at the end of september is starting to look very unlikely ...
on the bright side I managed a 26lb+common the other weekend
|
Big Ron
|
Yes I seen it on the BCSG website Paul ....well done mate
|
Paul Mansfield
