After our initial work getting rid of existing fence lines & hedges that needed to go . It's just been to wet to get the big machines on the ground to do any major work. What did become clear when we were there is that we needed another section of land heading up the hill on the right hand boundry. There is a natural hump about 25 metres further up the hill which if incorporated would be the bank level on that side..... this would mean a lot less digging for 3/4 ers of the lake & really where the lake needs to naturally sit . Luckily the deals been done in principle , my colleague & mate just needs to do the deal on the price ! . Really good news though 😎

No he just lies back and thinks of fishing 😁

not tonight I'm too tired and I've just washed my hair island 😔😴😴😴😴

So do they put something special in Cotswold tap water , or are you into " blue smarties " , Chill ? . 😁

my missus is practically loading the car and trying to convince me to do an extra night. theres a slight possibility shes got another chap on the go, so its a win win

Good god man... tell the lass your going fishing and go.... I tell her indoors when I'm going and I go end of.... just as soon as the swelling goes down....🤣😜

Opportunist Angling I was on a 48 hr in November last year for a trip to Linear fisheries and decided to fish Brasenose one a Gravel pit of 32 acres. It was cold with bright sun so out went the zigs but with no joy. The lake was fishing hard and there was no action for me. On the last day I noticed a Grebe having more luck with what appeared to be nice Roach 3 rod lengths out from my swim so I wound in one of my carp rods set a feeder rod up with a maggot feeder 14 hook with 3 maggots on the hook. Now prior to this trip my biggest roach was just under a pound. I cast out with 2 pouches of maggots over the top. I put the rod down and the tip went round with a Roach of 2lb 3oz ! Nx cast tip went round 2lb 7 oz !! This is easy I thought with my hands shaking. Nx cast I bumped a fish and the swim went dead so i reeled in had a coffee putting out a pouch of maggots every 5mins. 30 mins later I had the biggest at 2lb 9oz and it was my last. I was in shock how fast it happened and still am. With A couple hours before we packed up I had a low 20 Common Linear has been kind to me of late with 5 pb’s in 3 trips

I read on this forum that mole hills are the bees knees when it comes to ground baiting. I have several hundred to spare if anyone would care to make an offer. (buyer collects )

To go all out and do all I can to help my good mate get a 30 without him knowing I’m doing it. Sort out a camera for self take photographs.

I feel for your women gents ..... learn the art of control 😁 trust me far more important than any rig 😂

No mate you need to make the most of Not wearing a hood ..... make it last for hours 😁💪😇

Well surely it will only take a couple of minutes to make your lady pregnant , then your work is done , and off you go fishing ? . 😁

used trent baits for years and only stopped last year because I wanted to tailor my bait to my personal fishing. tbh I never used the fresh water shrimp but their liver specials are without a doubt the best boilies ive used (apart from the ones im now making myself) but ive modelled my own bait recipe on the liver specials.

You gotta go before the next baby comes that second one is a game changer, and that will probably add another 4 or 5 years at least 👍 Funnily enough I've been trying to persuade the misses to do a French trip as a family,she doesn't seem that keen tbh but she did say would you like to do it by yourself the other day, which I may have dismissed a little too quickly in hindsight 😉

Il get the hang of it soon 🙄

You cunning , cuddly , rascal , Elmo . I hope you have your own laptop / computer away from all seeing eyes ? . 😁

This is my chaos Will have to do in two stages, although having seen nicks I feel quite tidy 😁

Last time out in France... I moved 5 times you can only imagine the state of my tackle box & storage bags by the 5th move 🙄😁

It starts off tidy at the beginning of a session, then by the end looks like a bomb has gone off😳😱 I haven't tidied it since my last carp trip in October😉😁

I may have found a way to go fishing, I did a risky Strategy where I broached the subject early,she ummed and ahhed a bit, and then later that day when I started prepping rigs I told her I had booked it, waited till midweek and said can I go fishing then? And she said I thought you had booked it? I replied I wouldn't book it without making sure you didn't mind first 😁 Seems to have worked anyway 👍

I got a Sunday night booked on vermuyden this weekend, I am really looking forward to a night out, not been for weeks😱😱 Get to try to my new rods and toys out too, so I'll probably blank 😁 But I am thinking of trying some radioactive sweetcorn ☢️🤔🤔🤔🤔

My missus used to hate me going fishing. Last couple of years she incouraged it. We are now getting divorced. Which means i can do more fishing 😂🐟
