I can now get the Daiwa Crosscast for £93.50 each....think they will be on my rods tomorrow.....as I've no reels now at the moment 🤣🤣

Oh right ok 😊 I bet you’ll all have a great time . I’ve broached the subject at home once or twice over the years but just get the look and a growl or two 🤣

We are going here this time,I just took the plunge tbh there wasn't a load of choice left for this year, but I did find quite a few nice ones along the way for another time if it goes well, best thing to do is email them and make a judgement on the replies you get I guess https://www.boisdeprintemps.co.uk/ As for the roof box I got quite lucky my neighbour was taking her kids on hols and had hired a roof box, I just phoned the guy and discussed what size I would need, and he happened to have a large one they use for skiing fits skis I think it's a thule (alpine) also, and checked the length was OK, I am buzzing tbh, can't wait just got to sort out all the details now like insurance, car stuff, passports, Channel crossing you know thr boring stuff 😂 I did message about bait last night though so hoping to get that sorted soon 🤔

I am not familiar with Panasonic cameras but I am fairly sure it has a time lapse facility. This is very similar to an intervalometer. It will be a lot easier to use and far more versatile than any add on self-take kits with clamps and wires and bulbs etc. Regarding quality for basic trophy shots, you want the biggest sensor you can afford with a good kit lens. (I was under the impression you were talking about selfies on a 'phone)

Sounds like you'll have a great time elmo. What venue are you going to. I really need to get away to somewhere in France some time. Preferably an snall exclusive lake with swimming pool. I know there plenty of places, but I struggle to find decent reviews. That roof box sounds like a great idea. I remember seeing one that looked like a converted thule roof box at some shows years ago. Just looked up roof rod boxes now and the inno ones look really good, but you'll need a separate box for the rest of the kit. Are you using a standard roof box setup or a dedicated fishing one?

IMHO the only way to take trophy shots is using an intervalometer. Yes you get loads of unusable shots which you simply delete. You then get to choose the best from the rest. If you are are only using a phone try this app camera FV-5 Don't forget to keep the bloopers as well.
