B686 Posted yesterday at 10:42 Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:42 I managed to get a winter ticket on a syndicate lake I have been on the waiting list for some time now , so decided to have a couple of outings over the holiday. Managed 4 and lost 2. 29lb mirror 27 linear 20 common and a 23 common. Lost a good 30lb+ at the net which was a bit gutting but that’s fishing.

islandgun Posted yesterday at 13:16 Report Share Posted yesterday at 13:16 wow ! .....When I was a lad always thought carp was summer fish and not worth fishing for in the winter. come to think of it, the only fish we set out to catch in the winter were pike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinner rig with a large maggot clip on the swivel with a bit of bouyant rig foam and 7 maggots 4 dead 3 live sits just off bottom. Small handful of maggots half dead half alive in pva web stuff hooked on my hook. Don’t think the winters are as cold as they were a few years back which helps I remember the lakes being frozen for a couple of weeks or more. Hardly freeze for a week now. The water in this lake is crystal clear all year the fish are much better colours when it’s clear. Other place I fish is a bit murky most of the year makes the fish a bit pastey i think. Hoping to get amongst the bigger fish next time🤞🏻. Although happy with a fish this time of year. Edited yesterday at 16:12 by B686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the sake of being nosey, be interested to know the water. PM preferably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
