Oh yeah. Went away for week and pulled out masses of it Ive tried a few treatments, but they dont seem to have much effect. Record temps maybe part of the reason. Well, I put 3 x 10cm grass carp in on Sunday. Haven't seen them since 😕

I was out Sunday as soon as my fishery reopened. Whilst it was still hot, it was overcast. The fish were a lot more active. From about 11 am, I had 8 bites and landed 5, all mid to upper doubles. I lost 3 in what I think was snags that were unknown to me. My mainline just parted which started to get concerning. Overall I used least thank 1/2 a kilo of boilies and packed up around 5. I think they're on the feed now. It's good to hear others are able to get out and are having good sport.

I went yesterday to my local days only park lake and managed 14 with 13 doubles with a 16, 17 and an 18. Kept them coming all day by regularly sending out the bait boat and got through a pressure cooker of spod and about 3kg of pellet split over 2 spots. Probably going again in a few days time and have 2 pressure cookers soaking as it's cheaper then pellet. That said, I have started buying my pellets in 25kg sacks as it brings the cost down a fair bit. It really is a case of "buying your fish". The more I chuck in, the quicker and more aggressive the bites.

I've not set the bivvy up since May! Instant!

I felt the switch Sunday night. After a few trips not using the bivvy it was put up as soon as the rods were in this trip. As I was setting the rods up we had a light shower in North West Suffolk, and at 2.30am it rained properly for an hour, and fish started crashing. Yesterday a massive difference, fish moving during the day. First time I have felt comfortable putting in any more than a PVA stringer or bag full for months.

Big switch this week lads and while it's still warm, it's looking mega outside in Northants. Overcast. Rain overnight. Great temps. I predict the carp will switch on big time this week. Best of luck to anyone out this week.

So this weeks find is a pair of Optix polarised sunglasses.

Thanks , Yonny .

Had a look at the website. All the flavour combos are classics, tried and tested.

Relentless innit!

Mega shot that 😎

Nature can be cruel sometimes

After my Son excitedly watched his tadpoles growing in our pond a Magpie went and ate them 🤬 .

A Dragon Fly hitching a lift on a Common , extraordinary ! . The only way I can think of to get an even better 'photo would be a Kingfisher sitting on one of my rods . 😃

During the long blistering hot summer we've endured, I've had more joy with the camera than the rod on some waters! The shot with the rods were on zigs just under the surface and the dragon fly was on that Common for quite a while.

So, I'm continuously being plagued by the blanket weeed, it literally grows while you watch it! I added 10 more snails, ive only seen a few lately, so fear that the pigeons, or magpies have eaten the majority of them. I hadn't want to, but am going to try a grass carp, or two. The Copdock pellet is certainly doing the trick @yonny, they're certainly growing and looking very healthy👍

Every new collecting game needs a reason to keep players returning, and Roblox's Steal a Brainrot Brainrots offers exactly that through rare finds, quick decisions, and a colorful sense of discovery. Its appeal comes from turning short sessions into a steady hunt for better additions. Rather than relying on a single objective, the experience blends collecting, trading, and resource management. A successful player must understand which items deserve attention, when to spend, and how to build a collection that remains useful as the game develops. Why the Collection Loop Feels So Engaging The strongest part of the game is its constant sense of motion. Players can begin with a modest collection, then gradually improve it by watching opportunities, completing activities, and making careful exchanges. Each new addition changes the shape of the collection, which gives even familiar sessions a small feeling of progress. Rarity also plays an important role, but it is not the only factor that matters. Some items attract attention because they are visually distinctive, while others become valuable through demand among active players. This creates a lively market where knowledge often matters more than simply having a large supply of currency. Building a Smarter Early Collection New players should resist the urge to spend every resource immediately. A useful opening approach is to compare several options, observe which items appear frequently, and keep enough currency available for an unexpected opportunity. Patience can be more rewarding than rushing toward the first attractive purchase. It also helps to give the collection a clear direction. Some players prefer unusual designs, while others focus on rarity or trading potential. Choosing a personal goal makes decisions easier and prevents the inventory from becoming a random assortment with no clear purpose. Trading With Better Awareness Trading is most enjoyable when both sides understand what they are offering. Before accepting an exchange, players should consider current demand, recent availability, and whether the item fits their longer-term plans. A visually impressive item may still be a poor choice if it is easy to find elsewhere. Good trading habits also depend on communication. Clear messages, reasonable expectations, and a willingness to walk away from an uncertain deal help maintain a healthier player environment. The best exchanges feel like mutual improvements rather than hurried guesses. What Could Keep Players Coming Back Future updates could deepen the experience by adding seasonal discoveries, collection milestones, or new ways to display prized items. Cosmetic presentation would be especially valuable, since many players enjoy showing personality through the arrangement and style of their collection. The game already has a strong foundation because it rewards curiosity without demanding long sessions. If updates continue to introduce fresh goals while keeping older items relevant, the collecting loop can remain welcoming for newcomers and satisfying for dedicated players. For anyone ready to improve a growing collection, exploring cheap sab items can provide a practical starting point, especially when combined with patient trading and careful attention to demand. The smartest progress usually comes from steady decisions rather than hurried spending.

Same as nick pick up the flashing led rod it’s usually the one with the bend in it for me as I fish clutches a little tight. I have never needed an isotope either.

I have a very simple system: My indicators and alarms are red, white and green. The receiver bleeps and the led lights in those colours. As I go to the rod I check the bleeping buzzer for the correct led, and look at the falling or rising indicator. This works with anglers who have a choice to be like me with different colour leds on the alarms, or those who chose to have one alarm led colour. The receiver will bleep, an led will show. Now in the UK, there is a legal maximum limit on the number of rods an angler can use, a maximum of 4, and clubs may limit anglers to 3 or even 2, so the numeric readout is not a particular need.

I’ve been using this bite alarm for a long time. While its performance, functionality and wireless range leave much to be desired, I really appreciate its design concept. Numeric readouts are far more intuitive than LED indicator lights. What’s more, numerical displays have no upper limit, so you won’t run into the issue of repeated colour signals that you get with light indicators. I wonder if anyone agrees with me? Also, are there any mid-to-high-end brands manufacturing bite alarms adopting this same design idea?

Hi Everyone I've just seen that a tackle shop near one of the waters I fish is stocking the above boilies . I realise if they are a small company with labour intensive methods of production that would drive the costs up , but are the flavours any good ? .

Grow a Garden 2 has turned pet collecting into one of the most engaging parts of the Roblox experience, especially for players who enjoy building efficient gardens. The best Grow a Garden 2 Pets can improve harvesting, increase resource gains, and make long farming sessions feel much less repetitive. Unlike ordinary decorations, pets influence the way a garden develops. Some provide steady bonuses, while others become more valuable during limited events or when paired with particular crops. Choosing wisely matters more than simply collecting the largest number of companions. What Makes a Pet Worth Keeping? A pet's value usually comes from three factors: its passive ability, upgrade potential, and usefulness across different garden layouts. A companion that increases harvest speed may be excellent for active players, while a bonus to rare crop chances can suit people who prefer slower, long-term progress. Rarity is helpful, but it should not be the only consideration. A common pet with a reliable effect can outperform a rare companion whose ability activates too infrequently. Before replacing a pet, check how often its bonus works and whether it supports your current farming routine. Building a Balanced Pet Team The strongest teams generally combine different roles rather than stacking identical effects. One pet can focus on production, another can improve currency returns, and a third can support event items or special seeds. This approach keeps the garden flexible when objectives change. Players should also consider how much attention they give the game. An active farmer benefits from harvest and movement bonuses, whereas an occasional player may prefer effects that continue to provide value during shorter visits. A simple team plan can prevent wasted upgrades. Choose one pet for regular crop production. Add a companion that improves coins or valuable drops. Reserve the final slot for events, rare seeds, or personal preference. Smart Ways to Spend Resources Upgrading every pet at once can quickly drain seeds, coins, and other materials. Instead, select one main companion and improve it until the next upgrade becomes expensive. Then compare the expected benefit with the cost before investing further. It is also wise to keep at least one flexible pet in reserve. Seasonal content can change the value of certain abilities, and a companion that seems ordinary today may become useful after a new crop or challenge is introduced. Common Mistakes New Players Make Many newcomers replace pets too quickly because a new companion has a higher rarity label. This can create an uneven team with impressive appearances but weak practical results. Testing each ability over several harvest cycles gives a more accurate picture of performance. Another mistake is ignoring the garden itself. A pet bonus only matters when the layout allows the player to harvest efficiently. Keep paths clear, group compatible crops together, and make sure the selected companions match the way the garden is actually being used. With a little planning, pet collecting becomes a strategic part of Grow a Garden 2 rather than a race for rare names. Players looking for cheap GAG 2 Pets can build a stronger starting team while saving resources for future updates and limited events.

Sadly Mate, my local club is 'overfilled', so I had to join a syndicate.

What lead companies are you all using? Any recommendations as mine has gone under? Cheers

this is the main reason i prefer private club lakes.
