Spawning maybe? Was there much activity along the margins?

[RUDD]

Maybe getting ready to spawn?

 

Did you not try a floating bait.

[Elton]

They're spawning round here.

not always a good idea to fish for spanwinging, fish, (dont ask me why, cos i dont know, i got told t a while bak and have never fished for them since while they are spawning)

[JBee123]

One very good reason not to fish for them while they are spawning is, well put it this way if I had to wait a whole year for a jump I think I could miss out on the munch for one day!

 

However if you can time it right, after they have finished up they will be super duper hungry!

[carping_mad]

yup right after they have finished spawning completly, they will all be on the much for the next week ++ looking for all their grub to top up

ok thanks, didnt try a surface bait as it wasnt that warm, with a fair breeze and raining.

there was alot of activity on one banks margin, with fish boshing very frequently at the same swims.

 

how long does spawining generally last from start to finish?
