Shaun Harrison Diary - Part 7
Quest Baits Blog &bull Dec 13, 2011
June 2011 and with the Grenville season closed from the end of May until the end of June I took a break from carp fishing for a while. I had several jobs I wanted to do at home and if I didn't get them done over the 2 month close season I know full well that I would be another 12 months before I got them done. Living on my own I find it too easy to go through life enjoying myself and in recent years have tended to put more and more decorating type jobs off, thinking 'I'll do… Full Story »

Pat Gillett's November Diary
Quest Baits Blog &bull Dec 8, 2011
Back to the Estate lake for another quick after work session. Got to the lake at about 2.30pm and actually saw a bit of fish activity (these fish very rarely show themselves at all). Had just about got the rods in when the heavens opened and it didn't stop chucking down until packing up time at 11.30pm. I never had so much as a bleep although there was continued carp activity throughout the evening. I came away unsure as whether the weather was to blame (in all the years I have been fishing I have never really caught many carp… Full Story »
