Well this was my PB for 8 hours or so but then this one arrived I really struggled through last year but kept learning and learning, but now all those struggles have been worth it Happy Days

I am flabbergasted right now, is there a cloud higher than 9 cos I am on it, that's a proper carp woop Someone told me Yesterday PVA bags are only good in winter 😂

I've only gone and beaten my pb again and I thought it was another tench s😂 28lb 4oz of knarly old mirror in the sack, I didn't see that coming 😁

New pb 27lb 3oz woop will do proper pics when I am home 3oz bigger and from 2 pegs Down from my old pb 😂 Buzzing now

Thanks for the advice everyone, I think I got lucky as I've just bought these second hand...£35 each perfect condition 👍 now just gotta sort some reels.

Looking like the best 7 quid I've spent, too many mozzie idiots around tonight, it's been another day of go slow elmo tbh, I've seen a couple of backs over my baited spot,and some bubbles very weedy so I've cleared it a bit with a grippa lead, few liners have a feeling I may catch a bream tonight lots of twitchy line bites so far, I've had a moorhen all over me today has been in the bivvy and all sorts, Time for a cider and dinner I think

No me either I used to love it years ago haven't done it for ages, I keep meaning to buy a floater line but always forget 😁 good luck

I like a happy ending. Ian.

Hopefully I'm fishing Monday but my club are still not allowing nights on there waters, so it's a day session only for me but I will make it a long one. I'm going to take my surface gear and have a go for them off the top, I've not caught one of the top for years. Should be fun and make a change. 🙂👍🎣

Cracking fish mate.... Big congrats 😎

I which that could be said for me but in my part of the country you're lucky to catch 20's never mind 40's. 🤣😂

All yours mate enjoy the moment. 😁👍🎣

Bit of spodding advice if you don't mind, what ever reel you get if you are using a heavy spod make sure the spool is at the bottom of the reel spindle before casting, some guys like the spool at the top of the spindle which will lead to a bend in the reel spindle and that can happen on the most expensive of spodding reels when slinging out your best munga TMKorda.

They only get bigger from here on going forward, you will soon be chasing 40lb fish, just enjoy the scraper 20's along the way.

Well done again. 👍

Well they are both lovely looking specimens elmo, well in mate. 😁👍🎣

Top man Elmo, well deserved.

Nice one Elmo!! Enjoy cloud pb!! 👍👍👍

Looks a minter as well buddy. Well done.

If you are hitting the clip too hard have a look at the airbomb it's kind of got a shock absorber I've used mine a couple of tines now starting to get the hang of it now 👍 I have a wychwood dispatch S1 spod rod that's pretty decent, I think cheap reels for spodding are a bit of a waste of time the sonik one isn't up to it imo , when you get into spodding it's worth remembering this is the rod and reel you will use most and will take the biggest amount of punishment, if you buy cheap you will need to replace it Might be worth looking at second hand to see what's out there

Nice one mate 😁👍🎣

Good angling elmo.😁👍🎣

You're probably right. Probably only a stockie when I was there.

I had a busy lockdown period. Lots of building work at home, lots of work and maintenance down the lake and also tried getting to grips with filming and editing. Once lockdown ended, I managed to get out for a few short trips which gave me chance to flip the switch on the camera to video mode. Here’s the outcome of the two trips that I filmed.
