Very silly little item but picked up a new bait needle this was about £3.30 ish on ebay, but a really nice well designed little item, a very short needle with a recessed catch for line loop this should be great on small pop ups and little wafters

You still buying leads from the tackle shops at like £2-3+ each?

AVID Revolve Bivvy Table ordered, looks decent for under £30, wanted one with adjustable legs but not wanting to pay silly money and this is metal not plastic so should last.

Its twice the size of my pb😄

Mate, it went right off, decent nights angling 👍🏻

Well done ouch that's a banger. Nice log commonly.

Sacked off an overnighter with my youngest, we didn't fancy packing up in the rain. Went to a little farm lake instead for a few little ones. He caught his new pb log.

Thought we were in for some bites over the weekend with some favourable conditions at last. Only fish seen were in a section with no swims between points - absolutely choked with weed. Plotted up nearby in whats become the usual swims for a little while now - 6 weekends. Changed back to pop-ups but rained the baiting right back to just a few boilies with the catapult. 10pm a decent one clatters out in my water, we both hear it and think game on. But as usual that was all the activity all weekend, what a kick in the nuts! Think the fish was just telling us he was off somewhere 🤣 Plus points - bivvy pegs are good and seen dear on the island again - sorry for the phone pic.

Great session @ouchthathurt!

Conditions were next level by me last night.... had me standing by the window wishing I was on the bank!

the rods out on last nights session, the calm before the carpy storm

22lb mirror, bring it on September!

34lb 10oz mirror

Did a quick overnighter on the park lake last night as my current seasons tally stands at: nights fished: 1 days fished: 2 carp: 0 I’m still sat under the oval winding down the last few hours of the session. September being my favourite month for carping, l felt o needed to get on the score board for this season. This one went 23lb

In a perfect world Iodine tincture to treat and then seal it with the propolis

Talking of hooks, i decided to try a pack of Bankside tackle BT continental wide gape size 4, have to say they turn every time, very "point heavy" I also got an Advanta river ambush 7ft 1.75lb rod and had a couple of fish on oi, very impressed so far club forced me to get a weigh sling/retainer

I like the claw hammers, I mainly use trig hammer XT at the moment though but they are a good n sharp wide gape style hook.

Very interesting topic, the club i fish insist on carp care solution and seem to favour propolis as the one to use, having read comments about maybe sealing in nasties i am not keen to use it, i bought the propolis to replace my ancient bottle of Klin-ik, that is maybe 15 years old, i was gonna bin the Klin ik but maybe i will keep it for a while...........though 15 years might be pushing it a bit

5 x 3oz leads, pack of size 6 ESP claw hammer barbless hooks, pack of small fox shrink tube, pack of ESP streamliner sleeves, pack of ESP splicing needles, 3kg prepared hemp

To celebrate my latest blank I just bought 20 3.5oz dumpy distance leads and 20 micro hook swivels.

Please tell me you're not trying to play Elmo's screenshot 😅 Speak English lad 😅

Good luck gents! Conditions look good. Out Sunday night with my youngest son, can't wait

That's my view from earlier. I've seen some, I am a little bit confident.

Quick 3hr session this afternoon produced this nice common

Have modded mine with 4 magnet rollers and 'Carp Ears' ages ago mate, just old hands have somehow messed up the battery housing, never mind still have 100% faith in my old ones 👍
