Fished a local day ticket water today, known for good carp among other things, has a reputation for being a bit dodgy people wise. I decided to fish the feeder for a change.

 

Hemp seed ground bait along with corn on the hair. All I could catch was blooming snotties! Good ones though. Remembered my scales for a change and the best was 7lbs 6oz. I was using just a plain setup. Paternoster rig to cage feeder. 15 inch hooklength.

 

What would have been a better bait to tempt carp? A lot of them came out. Just not form my line!

 

Notables for the day:

 

Ea baliffs came and checked everyone out. Was nice to see them out as I had never been checked before. They even caught a couple of people without any paperwork.

 

People need to remember that In general we want to hear their bite alarms when they have a bite. Not full volume when clipping up :angry:

 

Why do people insist on leaving litter. When I was packing up, two guys in the swim next to me left a ton of crap behind which I went and picked up :angry:

Usually there's no need to use bite alarms anyway, a bite indicator is normally sufficient. But of course, a good set of matching (and expensive) bite alarms is part of the carpers uniform, and obviously they should be heard by all :rolleyes:

Simple, because they're idiots. On one of the lakes I frequent, leaving litter behind will result in you being banned, an attitude I fully agree with. How difficult is it to take a plastic bag for all your rubbish and take it back home with you? A roll of small bin-bags is a permanent feature in my tackle box.

 

Sounds like you had a good days' fishing though, despite the lack of carp.

Moaning because all you can catch is snotties to 7lbs...lol

 

I seem to recall a certain thread running to who knows how many pages now on catching bream.

 

If you're getting them alright, you know something some seemingly don't....lol

Hi Ben,

VAC fishery? If so then I would report the litter issue to the fishery manager as he may know who was in certain swims.

and WELL DONE on a your catch of good size bream.

 

DOH!!! Just realised you stated "day ticket water" :oops:
