Well of course that's why I don't do quick overnighters - the thought of having to leave feeding / soon to be feeding fish . My aversión to quick overnighters has absolutely nothing to do with ingrained laziness ! . 😁

I discipline myself to turn the Fish Finder off , although the fish icons aren't to scale as I understand ; I did turn the Fish Finder on one Winter session which saved me casting into the margins as the fish were shown as grouped up in the middle of the lake . Also in the Winter when the lake was empty I very quickly mapped a small lake . Occassionally I may make a single cast well past where I intend to fish to quickly check out the lake bottom , and yes I grimace at the splash , but then is it as bad as 2 x 3ozs leads with maybe pva bags plummeting into the water ? . 🙂

Spontaneous answer , different fish . You'll just have to have repeat captures and take some more 'photos as Nick says . 😀

Another beauty Gazlaaar . That's the size and looks that I would like to target . Would you like to say where you are fishing , you can PM me if you wanted , or after all your hard work do you understandably want to keep it to yourself ? . 🙂

If I have my way this will be a Bovril free forum ! . I have relatives in Solihull , don't you know . 😃

Oh my Yonny ! , just to have a fraction of your energy , drive and enthusiasm . Do you add a little something to your fags and / or tea ? . 😄

I love my Avons , getting exciting when the dial goes past the " white " and the colour changes in the little window . Yes I'm old and sad ! .

It would make my season just to catch that beautiful Carp once ! . 😃

Good for you jh92 , you persevered and it came good for you . 😃

Are those the " unofficial " new rods , that Smufter perhaps had delivered to work ? . 😃

I won't be casting over your lines then ! . 😳

Congratulations on your first fish from Bayeswater , Scott , but you've gone fuzzy again , and in this heat ! 😱

Like the others have said , what a gorgeous looking Carp . 😃

Are you The Viking Angler as you look like you should have an axe in one hand and a rod in the other ? . 😁

Never mind the fish , I love my Tiger Bread ! . 😃
