POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

@dazman_1584 was lucky to spend some time at the Manor the other week. A good session ….

“I was lucky enough to be invited to fish the Manor Carp Fisheries in the Test Valley, to not only search out the “Lord of the Manor” but also as many of the other special fish that reside in there as we could! 💥

I was lucky and drew the no.1 duck and chose the obvious swim which had the most fish activity on the walk round! But then the pressure was on, to turn that first choice pick into fish on the bank‼️

After leading the swim with out much disturbance I’d found 3 firm spots I was happy with, and baited for the night, a generous helping of @dtbaitofficial N Blend 12millers along with small amount of chopped in house nut mix!

The evening past with plenty of fish still about and expectations were very high across the pond, first light and the action started, taking 4 bites and 4 fish to the same rod, and this was basically the pattern for the remainder of my trip.

Ended on 13 bites and 11 fish landed, with 9 fish coming to 1 rod and the other 2 to my remaining rods that were moved about trying to find another sweet spot!

Check out how my trip unfolded on the @atomictackle Youtube channel”

Use Zigs This Winter - Darren Wallace

When bites are hard to come by fishing zigs can literally turn your winter sessions around if you get it right. Below is a few key tips to really help you tune into zig fishing this winter!

1️⃣Start off with a small razor sharp hook, The #Stinga pattern from #AtomicTackle is perfect for this as it was designed for #Zig #Fishing!

2️⃣I opt for the foam #ZigBugs because they are easy to use in conjunction with the #ZigBug Aligners and I always make sure they are glugged for extra attraction. Being 100% foam the bugs really take on the extra attraction & maintain buoyancy.

3️⃣Long #AntiTangle sleeves are a must to help kick the rig out and to minimise tangles, Another great tip is to ditch the tubing behind the lead clip, this will 100% help in eliminating tangles on the cast even if you miss cast and plummet the lead in.

4️⃣Heavy leads are a must, it helps pull that hook home and allows you to fish really tight lines with the bobbin jammed against the buzzer for maximum bite indication. When #Zig fishing you will either get a screaming take, or a drop back and a few beeps, either way you need to know because there can be quite a distance between your lead and hook if you're fishing long zigs. Taking out all the slack between your lead and reel is a must! Fish heavy bobbins too, you want them to drop if that lead moves towards you.

5️⃣Where possible I ditch the tail rubber meaning I drop the lead on the take every time and means I'm in direct contact with the fish at all times. #Dissolva #Pva tape or #CableTies are perfect for tying off the leadclip in place of a tail rubber.

6️⃣Always cast to a line clip or trap the spool before the lead lands in the water, this allows the zig to pass the lead tangle free and keeps the lead in the front of the clip.

7️⃣Don't be afraid to cast! keep changing positions of the zigs at regular intervals, using the bow string lines to fish for liners which can assist in telling you what range the fish are at. Also tweaking the depth is important to finding that optimum level where the fish are sitting.

Having not caught them all from @the_quarry_fishery I’ve decided to have a go there this autumn to try and catch some of the ones I’m missing. I’ve had three trips over the last three weeks and been thoroughly enjoying the buzz around the lake from the members and absorbing the epic views. Seeing some great members catch some mega fish and top weights as our hard work with snag removal is paying off. It’s very humbling to see so many people enjoying the lake and the fish that swim in there.
It’s been great fishing alongside friends old and new, and I’ve even managed to catch a few, including this relic, “baby radish”, previously uncaught by me.
Thanks to @dazman_1584 aka Roy for the epic pictures, and a push in the right direction with the capture. Every day is a school day and we can all learn something from others. Cheers Roy!!

Baits Used : Supa fruit bait spray
Rig of Choice : Zig
Weight of fish : 29.12
Venue : The Quarry

Catch details : Last weekend on the ticket so managed to get down just after lunch expecting it to b a busy weekend! Chose a swim I had fished a few times over the last few weeks on quick overniters for Jo joy but next to a fellow team member that had caught a few!
I have been struggling for bites on the bottom for a few weeks although fish where getting caught, out in the boat I took a lap around the island and in true spring form found fair few fish cruising few feet under the surface! I place 1 rig on the bottom over bait at 20w on a clean spot and then fired to zigs out closer to island at 24w with a 6 and 7ft zigs, the standard black and red foam soaked in supa fruit bait spray! Morning had rolled around and I hadn’t had a bleep, and I was questioning my approach, mate next door had caught another cool 1 of bottom! 8am came and out the blue the 6ft zig was away! A strong battle commenced with some powerful runs stripping line! Finally got her back in and after a little stale mate in a set off pads in the swim front and some help from next door in the boat we got her out and in the net!
A mega coloured fish and 1 I was really happy with after a few weeks not catching

Baits Used : Nblend
Rig of Choice : Combi
Weight of fish : 27lb.6oz
Venue : The Quarry

Catch details : I’d settled on a swim that I hadn’t done much time in before and getting on for nearly dark I quickly wrapped up some spots and baited them with the use of the boat with a few handfuls of Nblend boilie soaked in dna and a few handful of matching 7mm pellet!
I then had the job of swapping my mono spools for my preferred braid, and 3 rigs tied ready to deploy into darkness! Each rod felt down perfectly on the spots! Was a quiet nite alround on the lake with 1 carp out down the other end! 2hrs into daylight the middle rod was away, and soon coaxed a lovely mirror into the net! A slow pack down was had ready for the next quick night
