I would not say fishing mad but I go every week from Thursday evening till Sunday

I suppose that does qualify as mad
I do fish all over but never been there. Im planning on heading to france in a couple of months. I mainly fish syndicate waters. The lake I was on at weekend is a kept quiet lake not publicised and syndicate only they dont do day tickets.
Day ticket lakes are ok but you get soooooo many noddys (people who dont have a clue) on them which gets on my nerves they dont take advice and think they know best.
Im always learning and ive been fishing 22 years its the fun thing about fishing. When targeting the bigger fish you have to out smart them and they are very clued up if you want to see them in action google korda under water carp. It will open your eyes as to just how clever the bigger older fish are.
If there are any carp anglers on here who fancy a long weekend session or a week session give me a shout I dont mind travelling if there are fish worth fishing for.
