Default Smeaton, have U fished it??how d'ya do?

Ha, i knew you meant 'yellow' when i read it 1st time, I went to Place
called Tattershall 'Moon Lake' on May?(TUesday), about a 1 acre
pond/lake..island in middle.....I fished a piece of phoney corn for 1st
time, popped up 6" from feeder, got 2 carp, biggest 2lb, then the sun came
out, and got 3 off top, using dead cheap dog biccys from Wilkos, used a
baitband to keep 'em on.I was praising bands the other day on this group,
but they were as weak as the proverbial, kept snapping...anyway, a4 and
halg, a 5, and a 7...countless 'takes' off the top, trying to suss out what
i'm doing wrong, 'cos there should have been about 10 landed at
least......my old boy 'Blanked', and drove me back a bit glum, mumbling
about the baitbands showing the hook to the carp, all the way back to
Cleethorpes...Going back,prob Friday, hoping it'll be sunny...smaller hook
this time.(used a 10), and i'll hair rig the dog-B......Cheers FRED
