Good decision to come this morning got a nice dark one in the retainer 😁 Not a massive one but pleasing on the eye 👁️

1st 15lb one looked a lot darker in real life This one was a real scaly one, I had an occurance on my rods 😁 2 hook pulls though need some fine tuning I think this week, especially as I've had a few lately and lost a couple of real good uns 😢

As per the title. I’m looking for recommendations on a suitable leadclip that will fit and work effectively with a Gemini flouro leader incorporating a Size 8 quick change swivel. 👍

Well finished up with 2 fish and 2 hook pulls, the other one I caught was just over 15lb, the 2nd one i lost was a bottom hugging beast, i had got it out the weed Into relatively safe waters when the hook pulled, gutted it was a bigger one for sure 😭 When I checked the rig the hookpoint had slightly burred, not a bad morning though pics to follow 😁

Had another run on my right hand rod, had give it a bit to keep it from the pads and the hook pulled 😭😭 Still got an hour or so, there is still time for another, I've switched to a ronnie rig on my right hand rod now, let's see it may just be the right rig for this situation 🤔

Just under 15lb of black mirror, let's hope there is time for another, twice the size and just as dark please 😁

Doesn't time fly when you are fishing? I looked at my Clock what only felt a moment ago, all I've done is sat back watching the water and it's now 25 minutes later, I'm poised and ready though fully reclined in the transformer chair, thinking at what point did I decide i didn't need the tea making kit this morning, that was a bad idea, I bought 2 tins of fizzy pop a few brioche rolls and banana, it will have to do, i think there is a chance though, and it's lovely just to be back in paradise, even if its only a fleeting visit

I will see if I can find one 😅

Nice to see there are still conman mobile mechanics about, had a sticky-seized rear caliper, could do it myself but rang a guy to see what he wanted, 70 to 90 quid he says over the phone, ok call out, he arrives looks at the sticking side and says it's not the caliper the pads have gone, ( they tend to wear when stuck i thought ) check the other side i said, he has a look and says yeap just the same. No, i thought they are not, i let him carry on, he says, just need a set off pads fitting mate, ok i say do want to order them or shall i get a set dropped over? no mate he says order a set online and i will fit them when you call. Ok i say, then he tried to charge me a large call out fee, lol, no mate either fit the pads and sort the calipars now as i don't pay for a call out fee when the job is there if you want it. he would sooner walk away. I went to a brake place, and as i said one side had stuck and worn the pads the other side was fine, just put new pads and disks on both sides did a oil and filter change while on the ramps and got mates rates, well free oil.

This is the 11lbers tail 20lb4oz both sides The 15lber I regret not getting a proper photo with And the stunning 17lb blank saver Not a bad weekends work, shame about the other 3 nil pointers though, but a lot happier than before the 17lber this morning, I am convinced that first one I lost last night was one of the bigger ones, we will never know though so I will just have to try and catch it again sometime 😉

Loving my new power barrow lol Proper prebaiting 😉

Absolutely diabolical wtf are all those carp on the floor SHAMEFUL
