Not been out since August last year when we had a week in France... didn't think for one minute the next time I fish will be back there end of March. Can't wait 🎣 if you can get out then make the most of it, you never know when life throws those hurdles in the way or work goes mad & fishing is put on the back burner .

I had one of those months, bills, fines, insurance hikes, yadee yaa. Courier van smashed my mirror the other day too. Annoying Febs here, weather's looking better so hopefully get the rods out soon

Wasn't enough left of it mate at 70 mph

Can I guess what's on the menu soon? Ian.

Probably would of been better for me tbh as they just bounce off .... wing mirrors they tend to take with them at that speed not the first time I've lost one off a vehicle due to pheasants . 😝

Lucky it didn't hit your windscreen . 😨

Exactly same here...all the gear is now 90% ready to go...just need TIME...in middle of all the inside house jobs that need doin while its not best weather...in middle of refurbing bathroom...painted hall stairs landing at weekend...this weekend should see finishing off.

Perfectly carpy weather and I’m sat on the sofa in my pyjamas drinking a cup of tea. Where has my enthusiasm gone just lately?! Must get out there and make the most of this mild wet weather. Anyone else struggling for motivation so far this year? Only done 2 trips in 2019 and it’s already February.

Don't feel sad for me commonly the pheasant came off worse

Well...3rd rod top section is back...fully fleged 3 rod setup now...awsome job if i do say so...only took 4 weeks 😂😂

Monster particles had a massive sale on like10kg for a tenner

The original composite Bivvy a few years back was designed for lightness & quickness ,they achieved this by ditching the aquatex for a lighter matetial. I brought one myself & it's been ok but you definitely need a wrap for the colder months, as you can't compare it to my aquatex Armo . It's basically a tempest design pole setup with a built in front , no vents , & a cheaper lighter material . I've noticed they have upgraded the matetial now which definitely needed doing . I got mine for lightness & quickness & small footprint which you can't fault it for. Would I buy another ? Probably not . But they have sorted some of the issues with the newer version it would appear.

Exactly my point, used to be good on here, comments flying around, arguments, laugh's

Rules are put in place to keep landowners, lake owners, clubs and fish safe and happy, so as such there are no silly rules. You may not agree with them, but they should be followed, although there is one on a well known tackle manufacturers lake that I find is a form of pollution, and is also a practice that must be stopped: 'all leads must be dropped on the take'. As such I will never fish that manufacturers lakes, I find the rule abhorrent, a disgusting practice. No plastics, brilliant rule.

Blooming pheasant had my wing mirror off on the way home , that's a couple hunderd I could of done without spending. Definitely been one of those days 🙈
