I thought this thread might light up with black friday bargains, I've gone a little nuts 😂 20kg of AA Baits tropamino base mix Fish Liquids,salmon oil, scopex flavour Electric caulking gun 15mm rolling table, cork dust And whilst shopping in morrisons @dalej2014made me😂 purchase a stand mixer for £35 (bit of a bargain tbh) So it looks like I've become a home roller this weekend.

Is this View of your bivvy door group ? This is my view currently, little gap is the fart extruder, it's pretty windy today 😂

Bank Tackle always resend or offers a refund if there are any issues with deliveries. I work for Bank Tackle, and I assure any readers that we never tell customers that the responsibility is with Royal Mail. I strongly suspect the OP is deliberately trying to discredit the company. If this is not the case, then I would suggest the OP pop us an email and we can get the issue sorted for them.

Bought some stuff over the past few months mostly for my summer trip next year. Wychwood drogue clamps - these rachet clamps are to hold the rolled up net against the boat on the return journey from a boat battle - these are the ones I'm assured. 25 x 6oz leads 3 x Large Fox H Blocks, 3 x 8oz leads 3 x Jag Rod Lockers - after last time 😀 1 x 15inch and 1 x 26 inch banksticks - making that a set of 3 of each I've got for fishing singles with the tips up so you can boat under the lines. Bought a Solar 3 rod sleeve for my spare rods as my son will be using those, sent that back and bought a second Cotswold 3 rod sling instead. Korda UV shirt for my son (Xmas) Ridgemonkey Bivvy light, I'll keep the new one, my son can borrow the old one. New one doesn't come with a case - disappointing. Bivvy light case lol Head Torch case - coz I never got one for that either!!! 4 x cheap banksticks for night lights and video camera (night shots) 6 x Gardener line clips - these are a bargain £5.49 for 3, replacing all 6 of my Delkim clips which are getting annoying as the line doesn't want to come out with a few of them when you have a fish on. Oh and an Aviator net to go with my Torrix one and 2 new deep meshes. Going to buy an outboard and leisure battery but not rushing that as batteries degrade anyway and new better stuff might come out in the meantime. I have said several times over the past couple of years, I'm done - what else could I possibly NEED? yet there's plenty it seems.

That's a fair point, I would like to add anytime I did any cooking, tea making etc I did open the fart flap more to let air in, this was mainly when it rained hard

Hello Elmo Sorry if this is hijacking your post , but is this a good time to remind anglers not as experienced as you to ventilate due to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning ? .

I'm blanking in the cold and now rain still got 24 hours to go though 🙏for a bite now

Catching, now that's a whole different level

I can't belive no one has been out having a go? Last week has been good conditions, full moon too. I can't get out due to family stuff😔

Copy and paste from BAF British Aqua Feeds (BAF) is subsidiary of DNA Baits Ltd and is a major bulk feed supplier to the UK, European & Worldwide Aquaculture markets with particular emphasis on nutrition and quality of feed materials. Our knowledge within the aqua and angling feed industry is second to none, providing high quality sustainable ingredients, liquids and oils. Established in 2015, BAF has grown rapidly and now operates from a 26,000 sq/ft manufacturing and distribution base in Goole, as well has having reserve storage at several sites across the UK.

They were at the winter show on Saturday so still trading 👍

Dna baits was at the same address as BAF a few years ago. So my guess is most of the stuff you could get from DNA is BAF rebadged.

Amazing what you can find using Google lol. https://www.google.com/maps/search/31b+Vale+Business+Park+Llandow+Cowbridge+CF71+7PF/@51.4413761,-3.4989309,482m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTEyMy4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Give them a call but as Elmo said Black Friday wipes a lot of companies out they are owned by NGT. Or share the same premises. i added an 18m pole into the basket

Hi guys Im new here just wondered if anyone has experience of catching carp along the river teme at broadwas,I actually own a few spots there I need to sell as am retiring soon so be glad to hear back with your comments if you know of someone who could make use of them for catching carp and maybe pitching a pop up tent let me know?

The calm after the storm, still blanked though.

I've stuck a zig out, desperate times call for a fathom height zig.

C'mon @elmoputney! I'm crossing everything for you (& a bit jealous).

Yup. I have that trip in March (can't wait!) and then a week planned in April so I'm making up for all this lost bank time 😁

I know the feeling mate. Fishing time is precious with a young family under normal circumstances, let alone when you've just moved. We had the first real frost this morning, that's been very productive for me in the past when I had the time to go. March will soon come around and we can go for that big beautiful common🤞🤞🤞

Deff slowed up / finished for me for a few months, old bones can't take the cold weather fishing anymore 😃 I did manage to get a copy of Archie Braddock 'Fantastic Feeder Fishing' a while ago, old skool now but very interesting read, makes a change from usual big carp stuff books 👍

All good here mate. The carp went mental feeding after Fridays storm and then this last couple of days headed to the bottom. I think they'll stay there for the foreseeable. I completely missed my Nov fishing session. No free nights until December now. We still have lots to do on the new house so it'd not surprise me if I don't get out again this year.

Its a shame really. A mate had a new pb (43) the other night. I can't stick up the picture though. This is usually the best time to be out imo. Family stuff means, I'm not able to get out at minute. How's the pond life?

With the drop in temps the fishing and the forum posts appear to have slowed right down!

I just keep wishing I was fishing

I went Friday, didn't catch anything 😂

I've been blanking relentlessly so nothing to report 👍🤣

Update !! Sold the Nash Pod ( a bit unstable ) and got the awesome Rod Hutchinson Rod POD with bag More stable and better quality

That sounds very very nice, freedom and if you can fish the stream a perfect escape! I've not felt the vibe since coming back from Belgium and my daughter's moved back in so it's been busy too, but reading your post makes me want to have a few hours lure fishing on our stream running through the syndi maybe Sunday morning. Got a weekend job come up that'll last right through winter if I don't pull my finger out - the target now is 5 nights at Bluebell in Dec if I can get finished in time.

Exactly — your contract is with the seller, not the delivery company. The seller is responsible for making sure you receive your goods, and they have to chase the courier if something goes wrong. The points about payment methods are also spot on: credit cards offer extra protection under Section 75 for purchases over £100, debit cards let you request a chargeback, and PayPal gives you buyer protection if you act within their time limits. Always good to know your options depending on how you paid.

I found a lovely new happy place half way down France on holiday over the summer. It was a lovely place in the middle of the countryside, space for the family, a pool and a lovely little lake and enough around to keep the family amused as I get a load of fishing in. I think I unlocked the key just as I was running out of time. Coming back to work has been the hardest it's ever been. TBH, I'm sat here looking at the weather and thinking 'what the hell's happened'! I suppose it couldn't last.

For a long time Iv been thinking about cutting down the amount of gear I take on short afternoon sessions after work, had to be quite ruthless wasn’t easy I can tell you but it had to be done ...

Still can’t decide if that saying is the correct way around or not location bait and presentation ?? there’s a future topic lol

Bits and bobs from Bank Tackle just under £14 thought I’d give them a go as you all go on about them…the quality looks good and at a fair price 👍 The Fox bobbin weights were £5 delivered..
