Still great for fried eggs lol

I had one of them! Back before RM was invented 😅

No offense mate at all... its just me having a pop at the bait company for using the SAS name... i'm getting on so a bit of a moaner lol!

Here's ya secret to the BEST pop ups in the WORLD, that i discovered recently from talking to a secret blackhat Carp fisherman on a HUGE 200 acre Gravel Pit lol! 1 egg mix: For best results NO Cheating! for 2 weeks coat ya cork balls in egg white only! add the following to ya 1 egg mix: : Thaumatin - Citric acid - Butterfat store in the fridge for exactly 27 hrs! now take ya liquid and mix ya paste, now store in fridge for 7 days, then coat ya cork balls & make popups, back in fridge for 7 days... ...now finally remove the baits and coat 'em in pure Citric acid, boil for exactly 69 seconds, dry for exactly 29 hrs, now the BIG SECRET...*microbial inhibition! BUT sorry i can NOT tell ya *that cos then YOU will discover how the carp can detect ya pop-ups from 1.2 miles away!

We have a breville from 91 when we got married lol still gets used.

I think you could do some good stuff with those crimped edges, put a tomato in it and you could use it as a hot water bottle, because it would be too hot to eat for 6 hours like the old brevilles.

Sales must have stalled lol how many times are they going to re hash the toastie maker. i still use the original one and the Diablo.

Anyone got one of these yet? Looks good for making tasty snacks? https://www.carpscene.co.uk/new-arrivals/ridgemonkey-crimpanzee-toaster-pan.html

No but I did get a delivery from AA Baits, wafter mix today, need to make a batch with egg albumen because they are too soft without. Also got some glycerin to make a hookbait soak if that helps 😂 Then I am going to do a special process to the hookbaits shhhh it's still a secret.

Any of them!

Elmo have you rolled any today ? I hope you're not trying to jump the queue ??? Im still awaiting my order of SHB's

I noticed my name got mentioned in one of those links for some reason lol. close the thread and let’s get back to being an SHB free zone hey Elmo have you rolled any today ?

Woke up at 7 on the dot to a lovely 27lb linear. One of my best trips for a long, long time. Not sure the moon phase had any effect as they were all caught at first light

So, after all that, which SHB's should i try for the social lads?? Sorry to go off topic, but, we'll, you know!

I'm not a gambler, and after certain incidents I wouldn't put anything his way. It's on my personal avoid list of tackle and bait brands. Funny thing is some of my big earning catering jobs used to be at Tattersall's in Newmarket, and the Newmarket Equine Centre who used to run a charity dinner, where I met Frankie Dettori and Derek Thompson the racing commentator. About 6months later I then used one of my days off my full time restaurant manager job to do an agency job at Chelmsford race course, where I was working the 'cheap seats', the beer wagon, and Derek Thompson came round with the outside broadcast camera and sound crew and greeted me like an old friend. Now my only vice is the occasional drink, I stretched to a whole pint of Adnams with my lunch today. Thing is we can look at pop-ups, bright yellow, white, bright pink, fluoro orange, all have worked for me, as have washed out pink, standard orange, green and white, blue, brown, red and black.

Well done @commonly great result. Really pleased for you.

Superb start to the year mate - well in 👌

Whallop. Congrats!

It makes a change for me to start one! Started well yesterday morning, got here around 7, saw a few shows, small bag with a few 10mms and pop up combi rigs put out in that direction. Literally within 5 minutes (whilst I was down the margins putting out a few freebies), my left hand rod had ripped off. I felt it on, felt a good weight, then the dreaded snag. I just kept tension & bump, it came off. Dejected I redid the rod and put the kettle on. Just about to pour & the middle ones off. Good little scrap and lovely little scaled 16lb mirror. Went a bit quiet, sun was up so tried zigs in a few different spots , moving them about every hour or so. Not even a liner! As the sun dropped , I thought I'd switch back to bottom baits as I'd already caught and felt more confident for the night. Nothing through the night and just as I was stirring the left rod was off, happy days. This one felt a bit heavier, then the line went slack, I wound in faster and found the tension to the fish, it tussled a little bit, but was easily netted. As I pulled her out I thought this is a good 30 odd, could be a new pb? Scales topped out at 43 exactly, it is a new pb! Sent a pic to my mate (who's also on here), turns out to be the big girl of the lake. I'm absolutely made up

I fished a rather secretive place that the members referred to as Toe-to-the-Brow Lagoon.... because that's how many guys set their zigs 🤣🤣

Nah you didn’t the thread just came to a conclusion and fizzled out

I don't think you did don't worry.

It censored the thing you use to open a door(not handle) 😂

I used the blue or great variety of anatomy rather than nipple but like you it censored it lol but high was the closest it would let me go as well lol

Knee, (censored) and nipple were the correct terms he used 😂 I like a fathom, half a fathom or even fathom and a half length zigs
