Nice lake I think that’s the one closest to the river fingers crossed, it doesn’t flood for you I may pop up for a cuppa

Hi guys. We've a social arranged at Booney's lake, Manor Farm lakes, 8th to 10th March 2024. There are spaces left at the venue if anyone else fancies it? So far, myself, Elmo and Commonly 🎣😁

Hi guys I've done the opposite of a purchase and SOLD my bait boat 🥺 I've decided I'm travelling light this year and stripping back on excess kit, I think I do this most years lol.

The affinity have a good reputation I personally think penn is very good the sea angling fraternity use penn aLOT

He looks comfy but Where do you sleep ? 😂

I can't wait get back on Bank with mine, I talk to him as if ha can talk back to me 🤣🤣 Last time we was out either September or October

I got the deep pan xl, amazing bit of kit and like you say no more bulky handle on the end 👍👍

And another thing I wish I bought years ago was a Ridge monkey toaster got me one two weeks ago. Been living on toasty’s, pancakes,scrambled eggs warming up pies and chips for the two wks 😏..£26 No more awkward frying pan to carry around

Faecesbook twitter or X (whatever) tik fingy instatwonk can all hang... not interested Tried Carp Forum, they are all too busy arguing, shame Crafty Carper and Carpology forums shut down, they were a laugh, fishing magic is commercially owned now and is modded by a junta of mates and if you ain't in that hallowed circle...? Maggotdrowners is a laugh, more match and pleasure oriented though... I like this place... needs more traffic though...👍

Are you capable of casting that kind of distance 99% of rods and reels should be able to cast that far even the ones you have mentioned

After many years of using Shimano 5000 and 6000 Baitrunners, I finally upsized and bought 3 x XTE 14000's. The line lay is ridiculously good and although I haven't fished a large water since I bought them, I can reach the far bank of my local water which is probably 70/80 yards with barely a flick of the rod. If I really wound it up, I'm sure 120/130 would be easily achievable. That said, all the reels you mention would be a good buy. The old saying "Buy cheap, buy twice" might apply to some of your earlier purchases.

Not been able to get onto site for a few weeks. Maintenance????

I would go and have a look and see if there are any news signs on the gates failing that owner of the lake through council records etc do you have any details for a bailiff or fishery manager ?

Thought the font of all had finally gave it up to Twitter not many site specific forums left Twitter and you tube are the Internet these days even the wackadoodle conspiracy sites get buried by the search engines.
