It's decent lads 👍👍👍

I could never get into work overnighters found evening sessions on summer nights much better, I was even working at the council housing department so the days weren't what you would call work still too much though packing up at dawn.

Yes please, Leon. Put me and my son Alan on the list. Not too fussed where or when. We're both self-employed so a few weeks notice of date would be useful. Ian.

I did a fair few work over nighters and totally messed them up. I was always in a rush to set up and I'd never go further than half way up the lake to save a long walk back to the car park in the morning (not ideal when more often than not the fish were up the other end). So as with any session, don't rush and find them first or you are just wasting your time in my opinion. I'd pack up in the morning saying to myself "at least you got some bait in" 🤣

Any other home rollers thinking of getting the electric caulking gun do it, no problems gunned out lovely and consistent it has a speed adjustment and anti drip pressure release does a very clean job.

Sounds like sidecutters time! A right pain in the rectum, not nice to deal with. I've snipped a few hooks over the years, the 28lb 2tone from Nazeing was hooked hard, and it was safer to snip the hook, but that is the only big fish I can remember. That was on a curved longshank pattern as well. I seem to recall snipping a few Patridge Piggybacks.

I’m surprised luke Moffat actually lets you use a hook at all with some of the rules lol. “mon ami this is Luke Moffat signing off from France..” anyone remember those days haha

Excellent report here

This was a comprehensive and interesting read from @yonny@Yonny well worth reading

Where’s @yonny when you need him I bet he’s had a good look at this stuff you know how he looks after his hooks
