ouchthathurt 734 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Good luck mate, won’t catch them on your sofa! I’ve been thinking over today’s session, one thing that hit me was how much colder the pond and the surroundings were compared to the rest of the area. The pond is surrounded by woods all around and the sun never really got on the water, keeping temperatures low. In the sunlight it felt much warmer. picked the wrong venue I think, next time out I’ll try my other winter water. Carpmaster and jh92 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yonny 4,638 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Keep an eye on this Thursday lads. Temps into double figures, pressure around 995, decent breeze. Air temps will be higher than water temps so it's odds on they'll be on the end of the wind. Might be a window of opportunity. Good luck if you can get out.

Carpmaster 572 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 If my park lake was open I’d be there but the little lake I was on Saturday have shut up shop I put the spy around the lake the carp are all on bottom wrapped in weed an the spy going through didn’t move them an inch so I’m not holding much hope Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I’ve been keeping an eye on the weather, Thursday is the only day I’m working this week! 😫 I might be able to wet a line tomorrow, not ideal conditions, but there’s a rain front coming in about mid morning and it’s supposed to be a few degrees warmer so I’ll give it a go and see what happens. yonny and crusian 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carpbell_ll 664 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 A lot of my local fisheries are not open due to lockdown, just not bothering as it is not worth being open, must be bad if Barston is staying closed. the free bit of river Blyth would be my only local option at the mo.

Mate has his Deeper out at weekend, (not where we was fishing) showing me a video today, was all over the lake with it around 5/6 unison all over, the odd 1 or 2 fish millowing about around 4ft Mark, but found a 8 foot hole and about 50 fish all bunched together, from about 4ft to the bottom 8ft.
