It's dragging the little blighters away from Bookface or Chapsnat thats the hard bit... most kids have their faces buried in a screen these days... whereas a lot of kids (when I were a nipper) were chucked outta the house to give our parents a bit o P&Q... so we went fishing... not for carp, god no.... carp were seen as the pinnacle of ones fishing achievements... nowadays kids get better gear than I had first time out and learn their craft (if one can call it such) at the Altar of The Korda Underwater series or The church of Youtube without understanding the reasoning behind the teachings....

Doesn’t look like a puppy now lol

Magazines have had their day , the internet just put the final nail in . As for match and predator fishing drawing carp anglers away I'm not to sure about this long term ,match fishing died years ago and predator fishing for some of the carp anglers is just grasping at straws as they are getting bored with fishing in general . For fishing to keep going we need to get more youngsters involved .

I reckon Kevin nash, trakker, aqua etc are very worried by this 🤣 Do you supply someone to carry it for you as well?

carp rods are taking a back seat this year and cracking out the river rods for a spot of barbel bashing on the trent and soar.

couple kilo of pigeon conditioner cooked up, gonna start baiting up a spot on the canal where I can fish from the van. Can’t wait for all this rain to stop my river hasn’t been fishable since November/December time, it’s tidal so I’m hoping all the carp hasn’t been washed out to sea 😂

Ouch I did similar holding my little one, I slipped on a toy, she was fine but I did my back in so I feel your pain, hope it's not too serious and you are milking it for all you can, 👍

Do you do in camo 🤣

Maybe Ikea are branching out into fishing items

Nothing to serious it's just my hip really, don't really want any time of work, more bothered about my fishing than anything else. ☹

nice looking dog would not want to bump in it in the middle of the night

Yeah mate they are nuts ain’t they 😂 I used to have one and she was mad for anything that moved. I tried taking her when I was a teenager and she jumped in the water when I wasn’t looking and swam after a duck and ended up on the island. I managed to call her back but didn’t take her much after that 😂😂 Would be good 😂 it’s good on the canal/river though with strange people walk past at night, she will make herself known and they give the bivvy wide birth 😂😂😂

I have a fairly regular subscription to Carpology. They keep enticed me with crazy offers. Last time I had 10kg of Live System, pop-up's and wafters as well as a 500ml bottle of Amino 365, a book and a 6 month subscription for a lot less than I would have paid otherwise. https://www.carpology.net/shop/subscriptions/carpology-sticky-krill-returns-deal/ I found this on their Site, 10kg of Sticky's Krill which would set you back about £100 alone with the book and 1 litre of Krill liquid, pop-ups and a 6 month subby for £69.99 and normally about a fiver for postage. The way I look at it, I'm getting the magazine for free (and some more). I do enjoy the mag and look forward to reading it every month so as far as I'm concerned, it's win-win.

Now if you could only train her to " ave a word " with anyone casting across your lines . 😁

Same thing happened to porno mags 🤣

id say it more to do with digital and social media now days

ive got a jack Russell and hes a true pain into everything a proper terrier could not take him hes great with ppl but rats and mice would not stand a chance id also be scared of him jumping in the water and trying to get the ducks and swans plus of a night in the bivvy the slightest sound he would be barking his head off

Hopefully some Carp Hound shots to come... 12week old French Bulldog "Theo"

I should of been going fishing tomorrow only my second trip to my new club water, I've been so busy at work with this bad weather it's messed all my plans up. So I was really looking forward to tomorrow everything sorted, some new pop ups and glugs to try out and guess what I've only gone and fallen down the stairs this morning top to bottom. blooming stupid dog only went and left a toy on the stairs in the night and blooming stupid me slipped on it. I'm struggling to walk never mind fish, I'm absolutely gutted. 😭😭. Looking on the bright side I'm hopefully doing my first over nighter next weekend Sunday till Monday, maybe till Tuesday if I'm lucky. 😁🤞
