Went to Scotland to do some Gold panning in the rivers and burns for a couple of days back in September. and yes Yippee i found some .

Rich , i wish ,,,,,, thats probably about £0:05 of Gold in the pan , now take in the the 900 mile round trip , i seem to at a bit of a loss 😄 Great fun though and i shall return.

To heck with voting green you will lose angling then

You might get richer hunting for nessie then. 🐙🐙 😁 Glad you enjoyed it though, sounds like a nice adventure to go on,

I thought there was going to be a pic of you with Martin Kemp 🤣 Are you rich now?

Yep, that's exactly what I'm going to do ... I'm going to change one component, make a note of what I use and see if it makes a difference. Then if it has made the difference then bingo, but if not I'll make another change and so on, and so on

I don't mind using barbless hooks as I used to stress when I struggled to unhook a fish , but now the hook falls out in the net a lot of the time . I agree that not having a barb on the hook means the hook can move around in the Carp's mouth causing tears especially if I need to apply pressure to keep the Carp away from snags . However , I love the lake I fish , especially as there are more match anglers than Carp anglers so there's not so much competition ; sometimes just me against the Carp . 😃

It really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks your fishing and how you choose to angle for them is your choice alone i have a bait boat and have never used it in England, mainly because the waters I fish do not allow them. that means I still have to be able to cast and feature find so it will never be a forgotten part of fishing for me some of the day tickets I fish you will be on a loser if you don’t use them I just choose not to.simply,because to me my fishing isnt a numbers game couldn’t think of anything worse than fishing the Tom maker style 50 fish a day would be so boring to me…
