  1. Today
  2. I'd be targetting real close in that case 👍
  3. ÂŁ45 Jakes Rakes
  4. Recommend me a sensibly priced carp cradle ( metal framed one ) Ideally packs away flat and isn’t huge in size ! I have the Avid Compact Cradle Mat and it’s nice but packs away a bit bulky. Thinking of a frame style with legs but I’m confused on what size to get ( UK waters only ) Ideally less than £100 !
  5. 2 new 20l Jerry cans new set of scupper valves new fuel filter new electric pump tube of mastic to reseal fuel tank don’t buy a boat lol broke down last weekend was going on a double figure smoothound hunt..
  6. Yes margins mainly start at at least 3-4ft depth
  7. Looks like a good margin stalking water to me, has it got some depth in the edges?
  8. I have taken on board all the helpful comments on here, i will say last session there was a peg i really wanted to fish, i knew i could place both baits on clear spots, but wife said it would be cold as its in shade! I will knock up some Ronnie rigs and see how i get on next time out, might take the boat and put a bit of bait over each rod also take more time to try and find some clear spots
  9. I've just had to top mine up, squid, blueys, soft shell crab and black lug. I'm happy with shelf life boilies in my chosen food bait now. For years it had to be freezer baits, but after catching as many on decent shelfies, I was happy to switch. As for sea fishing, I do catch a fair few fish on squid and bluey or squid and crab. The thornbacks do like them!
  10. Little bits and pieces to restock at the end of the session, rig rings, swivels, hookstops, and bait for sea fishing, squid, blueys, black lug and soft shell crab, soon made light work of ÂŁ45
  11. Double old skool 2+1 on deep slate , opencast mine
  12. Pin on the pod..
  13. Got the same one, a mate recommended it thankfully, can see it being well used come summer 👍
  14. I got the 12incher,it's great for 'disturbing ' the margins and putting a bait on it Good choice ,and company
  15. Bought myself a weed rake from Jakes Rakes online, arrived in 2 days and looks the nuts - cost around £45 👍
  16. sneaky couple of rods out
  17. Not a fan of bluey if I'm honest, prefer anchovies or sprat.
  18. Watched this, really good he's top notch. Was interesting having the otters on the pond, even that didn't stop him. Didn't he have The Croc and about 15 of his mates in his first 3 nights! Levels above. 🙌
  19. Yesterday
  20. little mid double caught on a quick 2hr session.
  21. No blueys lol
  22. Last week
  23. Same here. Gone from the days of opening my chest freezer and seeing 100kg plus of boilies to now seeing no boilies but 50 peelers vac packed into 5's, 5 packs of English squid, 10 wraps of frozen blacks, 4 packs sandeel, 2 pack mackerel and 4 packs of anchovies.
  24. How times change, looked in the freezer this evening and noted that I got more sea bait than carp bait 3k ish of cell and 2 k of sticky krill 2 packs of Squid, 6 Mackerel, 2 packs of Sand Eels and best of all a dozen crabs
  25. JĚŚThis is the version from this mornings fish, Gardner Mugga, 15mm meshed Nutty Bait pop-up and tungsten weight on the loop.
  26. That seems a much better pattern for the 360 I think. One product I found to be a bit of a gamechanger, was the korda balancing weights that attach to the swivel, I did try with a tungsten pop up weight but found unless you slid it right up the loop (kind of making the loop redundant) then the pop up came off the deck and moved too freely for my liking.
  27. I did switch to a Gardner Mugga this session and adapted the rig slightly, a loop knot to the swivel, and a sliding pop-up counterweight on the loop. Properly nailed in the mouth.
  28. First thing this morning on a Nutty Bait pop-up: 29lb @crusian 40metres, towards Scotty dog I've just been through my pics and our Facebook group. I have caught it before at the same weight last year. It was one of the 2020 stocking
