You win some, you lose some. You have good days, you have bad days. At the moment the odds are in your favour, 7 to 4. Unless you've altered something that may have caused this particular bad day altering things could at this point make thngs worse.

these things happen mate but if your getting bites why change it if it aint broke?

Dean, are you sure that the fish were actually hooked? My 50+ years of carping, and other fishing, tells me that hooked fish do not come off.

Analyse where and how you were fishing, and you may well find that the two you missed could have been liners and the others also liners that got partly foul hooked.

 

Is it the Pollard you are fishing?

 

Either way you are getting results, well done,

Hi Dean,

 

Seems to me that you aint doing very much wrong.

Apart from the reasons already mentioned I can

only suggest that you ensure your hooks are needle sharp.

 

All the best.
