Had full confidence in bait, rigs, line and tactics.

Have had a few days off last couple of weeks.

Lost 1 to a hook pull.
Lost 2 on a bar with mussels (no leaders allowed but not on takes quick enough)
Lost one on a 2ft zig on 9lb line at the net.
Caught one to break the run
Blanked last night when on fish.

Going tomorrow- prey for me. I have gone from Hearn to absolute whallopper in two weeks.

Tell me it's a run, tell me it will end, tell me to keep the faith!

You're doomed, I doubt you'll ever land another fish ever again.

I've just done 5 nights , in a good swim . Caught 3 and lost 2. One took me through a snag and I ended up pulling in a branch. The other one I lost took off down the right hand side heading for a snag. I had to stop it, and after a five minute tussle it threw the hook. Sometimes it just doesn't go your way.

If it helps.....

The ones you lose are the moments you'll never forget 😳

I had one in the net and it got out....years ago. The sequence of how it unfolded is indelibly burned into my mind

Back to Tel.

Brilliant day and one of the best I've had on my syndicate- not mega tricky, but given the last couple of trips - I had a mega day, lost none and had some good uns.

Every cast perfect, every scary round the back of the island sorted - just what I needed to buy me a few more weeks of Noddyism

I hit a bad run of form since last October no carp until last month where I had a
Tench
18.5
23
24 and I lost one and then last week same public lake lost one and a small one at 14.5 but still happy to catch,this lake doesn't throw up many multiple bites so it was good to see that happening at least I was doing things right and my confidence got a boost,back on there next month for 3 days see what happens.

This is normally when I start tying up all manner of wonder rigs and casting up trees due to stress.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
