went back to the pads at 5pm armed with a spade, weed rake and waders to do some "swim improvement" and kick off the reload of the carp campaign. I've moved a few yards downstream and found a peg with about 3ft of soft mud in the margin, and about 6-8 ft over a rocky river bed at 1 rod length. Suprisingly little weed , though the rocks tried to swallow the rake on a couple of occasions so i guess it may get a bit hungy on tackle. Dug out a safer access to the water as dark rainy autumn nights and sloping banks are a recipe for disaster & started the prebait with 1kg of sweetcorn. Spent a couple of hours fishing out the evening, using a source pop up over the corn, and a couple of 10mm pellets over a couple of handfuls of 4mm pellets on the other, delivered via pva tube.
I wasnt particularly suprised to get no bites after all the commotion - lobbed in another 2kg of old groundbait out of the freezer before leaving the river at 8pm.
