Still hard at it on this lake job .... the main contractor hired me in a 50 tonne machine to speed things up a bit . I'm loading 30 tonnes in 4 Buckets now.. right beast !

Evening all. Thought I'd try out chickpeas instead of corn. Glad I did. Lovely 13lb mirror and a great scrap on light tackle. Rolled chickpeas in egg and cooked in oven to try firm them up, worked too a degree

Well I guess that's the price you pay for being for such a clever fella when it comes to D.I.Y , Highy . I'm basically useless at D.I.Y. , so I just pay for someone to do the job , or pay for the materials that my Wife needs 😁

I'm out tomorrow hoping he brings it then again... It's not that I'm not able, I have the funds available, but if the wife found out... Its how, when, where from... She knows I wouldn't mind 1...so it MAY also be a sneaky purchase.

Yeh, a mate has 1, I've used it on 2 occasions.... OMG simple is an overstatement, all 1 handed controls, only used the middle hopper, didn't use the rear hopper. This would be no. 1 boat for me to buy, but the boat option has gone out window at moment.

Is that a remote control digger cus there’s no one driving 😉 I follow letsdig18 on the YouTube he operates a Volvo 220 mainly. 30 ton in four buckets 😳

Elmo defo not a over baiting noddy, your a thinking angler mate with a plan 👍 if the sliver fish are active the carp will eventually come along to have a look it’s in there nature

Well the night time passed uneventfully, thus far the morning has also passed uneventfully, I just dropped a scoops worth of my mix in the margins and apart from the few whole boilies the rudd pretty much destroyed it in 5 minutes do we think those pesky little monkeys will be doing the same in about 10ft of water out in the pond ? I kind of think they might be, I've done about 8 airbombs on each spot which mean there is probably only 30 whole boilies left on each spot, and as I'm fishing Chods the tench and bream may had those without me even noticing, I'm starting to think crumb might be a waste of time on here, I will have a little top up in a bit, but im sure the bloke fishing over the other side. Must think I am overbaiting noddy 😂 I do often think all other anglers just think I am a noddy anyway lol I usually agree but you have to try 😂

On occasions I use Ronnie or Spinner rigs I have the opening on the outside.

Once I have made the balls, I take the softest, and add a little more base mix and work it in before rolling into sausages. While you can use a bait gun, I prefer a table as I found with homemade baits, the glossy finish rolls better on the Rolaball, and some gunned baits can float. From the sausages, I then put them onto the Rolaball, roll into balls, and then drop them into some base mix to stop them sticking together while boiling. I boil these baits for 1minute 30seconds, before tipping them onto a tea towel to dry. Once dry they can be bagged and frozen, or totally air dried.
