March and April were clubbing season for me. Once those Northeasterlies came in the other week, followed by the warm spell which triggered spawning up and down the country, I've not had a bite!

Its so hard to predict what they are going to do or anticipate where they are going next this time of year let alone feed and then spawn. I always seem to miss it by a few weeks or cant do the time needed.

interesting, I do an overnighter a week so hard to judge a little how a lake is fishing and don't really have that opportunity to chase fish around with singles.
But my syndicate at least wasn't doing much in March that I know of, we had that hot weather at easter though didn't we which I'm sure had an impact suddenly waking everything up.

Haven't caught a fish in May this year, after getting off to a flyer in April. So yes, it's a struggle. Going tomorrow, so hopefully it will change!!

In my limited experience, there is a small window which is clubbing season and its probably getting earlier each year.
End of March and April, to me, is when chasing them and slinging singles at them really scores. But as we get into May then I do find it harder; you can find them still but they are not being caught as easy. As we go into May margin traps start to work for me, especially at night or first thing in the morning.
IMO, spawning is what is on their mind now and clubbing season is probably done for this year.

Everyone always refers to May as we lead up to spawning as clubbing season, easiest time to catch a carp apparently. Anyone else finding it really hard at the moment? I'm fully on the struggle bus, caught a few tench but that's about it for Spring so far.
