Rob and Steve try all they know to catch at Nordley 2.
It was a very pleasant spring like day but the Carp were just not having it, 10 anglers around the pool during the day and only 2 fish caught.
Rob tried a zig rig a varying depths with a number of baits to include, dog biscuit, bread, boilies both coconut and a fishy one but not a take.
he tried a boilie (Plum and pepper) in the margins along with Halibut pellet and Krill pellet but not a take on anything.
Steve tried a snowman, rig using cell bolies and surface fishing with bread and dog biscuit.
the carp are so tentative with surface baits, they nose it around push it about, and will take freebies but not the one with the hook in it.
this leads Steve to believe they are spooked by seeing something.
Phil was at work but Martin has no excuse for not attending.
less than 4 weeks before Steve and Rob go to Vallee Lake in France, we just hope they have spawned out by the time we arrive there?
of course the fish at Nordley may have spawning on their minds as we did see fish swimming around in small groups?
If we were fishing to eat?: we would be on a diet this week.
