Iwas talking to someone today who couldnt belive that carp anglers, me in particular that had gone days without catching , even weeks at a timeon the bankwithout a single bleep. Whats your record dry spell, and can we have a record count as every time i go and dont catch, at least ican be happy in knowing that im one step nearer to being a complete blanker.
Time to give up ?

Dunno about Carp but i heard of some people going months on end at Queenford without a fish in the late 80's.
I imagine Redmire can be like that too, and last i heard it was £250 for 2 days.

I did best part of a season once trying for a barbel. Twenty seven trips in all and not a nibble, not even from another fish never mind a barbel.
That's when I earned the nickname "WOODY BLANKER", or at least that what I thought I heard it was. They used to shout out "Here comes that Woody Blanker again."

Are you sure you are carp fishing and not camping ?. Its an easy mistake to make !.
2 years blanking on a particularly large,weedy,bream filled Cotswold pit with a few lovely Carp.
I made Carp fishing look impossible on this water.
It is the only water that has ever broke me.
After a million Bream I eventually hooked a sizeable Carp and some time during the fight my hooklink decided to break(this hooklink has never snapped before or since).
I decided there and then that life is too short.
I bade the water my repects and gracefully admitted defeat.
Who knows tho,maybee one day.
