I was planning to get out this weekend and give the monster crab a good bash, but now I've been conscripted into my birds sisters birthday party. Not happy. You'll be in and out of that hot tub before the speedos get wet 🤣🤣👍

I can assure you they'll be no banana hammocks on show from me.

Might not be a total loss mate, same thing happened to me in 88, after a bit of pre baiting on the night i got to have a crack at the sister two weeks later.

The hot tub has taken a bashing, my fishing has been slow across the board, had a couple over the top of a spread of scopex. Four people on the lake, two blanking, I've had a couple and mate is smashing it using a boat with a pop over a little pile of pellet.

Moved away from lodges today to get better angle on the going area, if yesterday is anything to go by from dinner time onwards is the one.

Had a lovely 23lb common over the bait. Been a good laugh.

These baits will work and have done since the beginning, surprised anglers think that they shouldn't, strangely we seem to have become more conditioned than the carp with regards many aspects of our hobby, myself included as given the choice I'd plump for a well thought out fishmeal over most others!

Good to hear, I'm taking it out for 4 days at the end of next week.

Did you only use it as feed or did you put some on the hook?

Had one on for a few hours but that rod just wasn't on fish at the time. The proper one came after one rolled over the bait and an opportune cast back to the area after I was splashing about chasing other rollers

I've rebooked for September 23. Going to be prepared next time.

Will have a bash with the scopex somewhere else this weekend. No where seems to be fishing well at the moment for me.

Just restarting this thread a few months on did anyone stay on the decathlon bait?
Are you sure?
