  1. Well I’m in 😄 just got to get the cash and a couple of passport type photos by tomorrow morning and I’m sorted 🙄. Dunno why but I thought I’d be able to pay by bank transfer…. Still I’m going to have to get my butt over there first thing tomorrow as I’m working afterwards and can’t chance them holding the offer open to next weekend, I wouldn’t . Anyway it’s right up my street , 4 acres , next to no weed but plenty of features and very rarely more than 5 anglers on at any one time . Even less doing overnighters . known Carp to over 30 and 4 more between 25-29 stocked last year that haven’t been out yet . A few silly rules admittedly such as having to use their nets and cradles and a Barbless only rule but apart from that the rules are mostly sensible with the fish being their top priority so mustn’t grumble strictly no u18’s even supervised so that won’t please my young un which is sad but you can drive literally up to the banks which is quality . There is a freezer full of bait over there at £7 a kilo if I was that way inclined but I won’t be as I have an irrational hatred of the company. I won’t mention the name as the owner of said bait company is a member though I believe he is unwell at the moment . All in all I can’t wait to get cracking and planning a 48hr sesh in two weekends time Happy days .

  2. Just be honest, I don't think they expect everyone to be Darrell peck, play to your strengths, say things like you don't mind helping out doing some work,always keep tidy, hate litter, keep yourself to yourself and that that you are easy to get on with, don't mention you support West ham though he would would lol you off the place 😂

  3. Hi All , The beginning of the Week I had this Brainwave The Lake I fish on has an high taste for Corn , But feeding it on the hook seem to get Bream and I'm looking just for the fat margin Carp , So I googled boilies or baits with corn ... Idea being that I make and present a Corn bait in the size of a Boilie to stop smaller mouths , I watched a youtube video on a corn ball and hence I began My magic bait adventure , It looked great before and straight after boiling but less than 24 Hours My bait had cracked on the drying towel and the little baits were solid , A great white couldnt have smashed it The ingredients were these : half a cup of grounded cornflakes , 1 cup of corn flour , 3 slices of bread put in blender , quarter cup of poppy seeds , 1 tin of sweetcorn blended , quart cup of sugar , 2 medium size eggs , added bread crumb , cornflakes , corn flour and poppy seeds to bowl , thoroughly mix , added mushed up blended sweetcorn , mix with fork , Add sugar , Mix with hands and leave to rest for 4 Hours , Get bowl , add eggs , 2 TSP of corn oil , Mix Together , After 4 Hours ... Add half the egg to dry Mix , knead and add the rest of the egg , This is where it went a bit wonky , after the first half egg ... the mix was still wet and I had to add an hand full of corn flour and some cornflakes , All I wanted was a really corny bait ... should I have added the dry to the eggs or are the dry measurements out in some way , This isnt My recipe ... its One I tried off youtube , all measurements are correct and I never missed anything out , Is there a cornier corn bait and is it easy to make ? I know I could go the " real " boilie way but I honestly get lost after 50 / 50 semolina / soya P.s. I boiled for 1 Minute on cork ball and around 2 Minutes on boilies or when at least half were floating ,

    Day/guest chair

    My sciatica is not so bad after sitting in mine, although I do have a slight gripe that is down to the extending legs. If you lean forward, putting weight on the extended front legs, they slide back in. I haven't noticed it on the back legs as every swim has so far been sloping down forwards or flat. When it is flat, it is a very comfortable chair that I have fallen asleep in a few times. I can sit and watch the water or read in no problems. It is fact more comfortable than the sofa...

  11. I agree. A trophy shot is a trophy shot but the bloopers really bring back the memories of a capture. Here's me getting a blistering take half way through a photo shoot 🤣🤣🤣
