The bay

I've almost planted the seed of a 48 hour session to the misses as it will be my birthday in April, I started thinking about all the stuff I could do, like reel the rods in, go for a walk about, drink a beer in the morning, afternoon nap and those kind of treats I don't normally get to enjoy, if I catch something it will be a bonus but I'm just gonna relax the Heck out of it and switch off from the world for 2 whole days csmt wait 😂

It is cheap because its a 50/50 mix with some added bits, the patshull Park mix would do the job better I think, and still not expensive, Personally If you want to save some money prebaiting I would use pellet and particles much less hassle than rolling bait yourself, and will do a great job

Ok will do 👍 I’ll make an order off Blake’s soon as possible

I was thinking the same, but with the amount of Noddys that will be out, I don't think I'd end up on top of it, so will just fish for a bite at a time to start off with... Booked on for Good Friday 24hr, 11th April 24hr.

Personally if I was looking at saving money I'd put less of a decent bait in rather than more of a bait I wasn't 100% confident in. If bream were a problem then the tigers would be joining the party too.

Is that the bay in Cardiff??

we do too this dog means more to the misses than I do but I understand that they think she has cushings disease but come down this morning and she’s covered in lumps all over her as tho a swarm of mozzies have been at her luv her

Thanks elmo

Bream will eat boilies too mate 👍 I tend to invite all to the party when I start prebaiting, they all help to clear the spots and I always think the other fish will make the carp investigate, Everyone seems to think pellets =bream, but I also have complete confidence they help me catch carp too, Blakes baits is pretty good for pellets and particles free delivery over £40

Yeah I plan to bulk the mix out a bit using these, but there’s a lot of bream on the water I’m fishing so am hoping to get a few boilies into the mix as well. I will give these a look, although last time I checked there was a very sizeable delivery fee! But for £35 for 10k can’t complain at all I suppose! Cheers for the advice guys

Where did you get it from I could do with a couple of spools of that

I second that, I’ve been an avid premier baits user since the mid 90s. It’s brilliant stuff. The randoms as above is a good option, or if you wanted to go all out, buy a basemix off them and make your own bait!

If you want to pre bait with boilies then take a look on premier baits website. They do something called "randoms". £35 for 10kg.

Well I've just been on their website and for me I personally wouldn't touch it.

Lol don’t put us back into winter yonny lol

There are some decent braids around for mainline use that aren't mainstream tackle brands😉 You just have to double check every one first, getting other angler's advice and experiences. I think I paid £15 for 3 spools of the braid I have on my marker rod and pike rods. That has definitely been better than a major tackle brand braid I had been using

Forward this weekend to BST. Blanking can be a sad sign of winter, even if you know where the carp are getting onto them may be difficult, especially if other angler's are on the lake. I must admit I have not been putting much in recently while fishing, but a number of pike trips have enabled me to prebait a little bit with mostly Vitalin and maize. I know where there were fish on Saturday, let's hope they are still here today... A full day from sunrise until...

In addition, I’d use it for tying up my Sweet Peas in the garden. Seriously, for something as important as line, stick with branded, reliable manufacturers/brands.

One autumn the setting sun briefly lit up this scene on the river Lot, France. Quite a magical moment which I was fortunate to capture!

Here is a shot of a flying fish I caught a few years ago. Didn't notice it when I took the photo, only when I put it on the computer.
