We had ten fish last week so not sure about the no fish for 7 days bit. But my god it was slow....I think they legged it to deep water. It was lifeless from Wednesday!

How deep were you fishing, or anybody else that caught.

Hi Phil,
Amended the post, we arrived Thursday pm (12th) and there have been 2 fish out since then(today 18th)clearly we can only go by Feedback from the guides, but they are good guys and have no reason to play tunes with the information being given.
Anyway it appears the same as I type today, fish can be seen in shoals on Sonar but near the surface, I have seen absolutely no fish deep on the Sonar, completely different from earlier trips.
It seems the whole lakes switched off, been speaking to Grant and Sam who like most anglers present are at a loss as to the reason, oh well that's fishing, it could all change with the blink of an eye, otherwise I shall sit back and enjoy the trip.
It's a cracking place to be even in an unusual quiet period, great food, atmosphere, views, sunshine, peace and quiet👍👍
Forgot to ask, where were you fishing?
Cheers

I applaud your attitude Tel. At times they are just not having it. I would still swop the grey UK skies for where you are now!
Good luck

Well as we all know our fishing fortunes can change in the blink of an eye, Grant and Sam moved us down the far end of the lake towards the Dam where Grant Caught his first stunning BEO mirror, and WOW what a change of fortune.
Fish lumping all over the place last night, but all remained quiet on the rods, then this morning it kicked off, for the better I have to say, 3 runs, 1 dropped, but 2 stunning bars of Moroccan Gold in the net, they took the form of 2 beautiful lean Commons.
Just as I was beginning to doubt my wisdom in another trip to BEO, ability and sanity along comes the “Great Carp God”and changes everything, what a fickle lot we are.
2 days to go so still time for that elusive BEO Mirror.
Thanks to both Grant and Sam for their perseverance in putting us on the fish and a big thumbs up to the team on the ground who are looking after the best interests of we the ever expectant carp angler.

Good news Tel.......

Afternoon all,
It's been one of those days, Flip Flop Bob & I have had 19 runs, landed 16 and lost 3 since 08.00.
BEO certainly put us to the test this morning, there was one moment where I had 3 runs at the same time,(well within 30 seconds of each other) if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I'd have been hard pressed to believe it.
Anyway the afternoon wind is banging through and the fish are presently giving us a rest, let's see what joys our last night on the Great BEO has in store for us.
Grinning like a Cheshire Cat is an understatement.

Evening all,
It was our last few hours on BEO this morning and as ever she kept us on the edge of our seats.
09.00 and two rods were away within a few seconds of each other, landed 2 more pristine commons that battled every inch of the way.
So we came away with 21 fish, every one a gem, well more a bar of Moroccan Gold, but that's just splitting hairs.
Will I be coming back, mmmmmmm, I thought about it for a nano second before speaking to Sam/Grant re dates for spring 2018 so watch this space.
I'm not able to post photos on hear(too techi)but happy to share them via mail or WhatsApp, just drop me a line/pm
Signing off now as I board a plane for Gatwick👍👍
