decided to try the same peg as last week @ the riddings. i've always used a pole, not used a feeder since i was a lad ( too many years ago ), but something told me to try a feeder after nearly losing the pole for good last week.
anyway, i bought a method feeder, read up on how they work & decided to give it a crack. cast in at about 6:50AM, put the rod down, tightened the line enough to give the tip a slight bend, one minute later ...
this method feeder lark is brill. that was the biggest, i'm guessing it was 8 or 9lb. caught another 6 carp between 1.5lb & 5lb, i did switch to the pole at one point after feeding the tree spot that i fished last week. but all i got was a small roach & had a perch fall off. so i switched back to the feeder.
at that point i'd caught 6 out of a total of 7 carp for the day, within minutes i got another nice carp on, as i slid the net in the water, it came off
but next cast made up for it when i caught the last carp of the session ( even if it was the smallest at around 1.5lb )
decided at about 3:15 to pack in, because the numbness from the cold was wearing off & being replaced by shear pain
anyway i'm a happy bunny now & will be a regular with the method feeder i guess
