I'm still here (on the back row) looking over 🤣

We're , afraid , very afraid . 😱

Been 4 months since I've been able to get onto the syndicate, but even in the wet weather I still love it here.

Take care mate... you'll get the bug once more... In 2011 I lost my dad and I packed up for 2 years... my lass told me to leave the gear in the garage in case I started up again ( I did) When I returned it wasn't the same, but the enjoyment for fishing was still there, I later packed in match fishing and got into vintage gear... I've not looked back... I still have my carbon carp rods but they are rarely used now. I now don't fish as often as I used to through ill health (collapsed back and knackered knees) but when I do the thrill is still there.. Look after yourself... 😎👍

How do we know it’s Highy 🤔 could be a stalker Iv heard about them … tell us what your favourite brand is we’ll soon know if it’s the great one.

Today i bought A wolf x spod to replace the one I misplaced on Friday. ESP big shot medium catapult (that I mistakenly bought elastic and a pouch for previously thinking I had an esp pult And 2 packs of avid d rig kickers because no other D rig kicker comes close when creating the perfect ronnie D rig.

1x 6ft NGT Profile Rod & Profile Reel. Have 2 now, 1 as a Carp Rod Setup with Alarm, 1 as a Float Rod. These are both my lads, but will use em if need the fix. Another setup purchase (but predator) Full Savage Gear setup....Rod, Reel (loaded with Braid) Net, Back Pack, Lures, Traces, Forceps, Matt....all good for the Preadtor fish.

So I managed to get them for £200. Loving them, can't wait to try them out 👍🤣

Nick reinstate his old account can ya lol

Not sure I would trust them long term but they certainly have bigger fish to fry in the short term. I think we are facing much bigger issues than banning fishing though at present, labour and tories both complicit in a genocide a vote for either is a vote for evil. The right wing chancers reform are just a bunch of lying racist fascists, quite frankly if you have a decent independent in your area vote for them or nothing will change

Angling nearly got backdoored a few years back still on the cards too, the intelligencer at a charity tried to use some law totally out of the scope of which it is intended to take a test case to court, inflicting suffering yada yada, the positive of angling outweighed the dumb logic not sure how long that will last though.

And then there’s this bit We will amend the Animal Welfare Act 2006 to protect: Cephalopod and decapod crustacean species, Animals affected by fishing activities

https://policy.greenparty.org.uk/our-policies/long-term-goals/animal-rights/ look at AR410 and AR424 specifically

Lol each to their own but the green party? Not for me I can hardly bring myself to vote labour. Field sports aren't a political issue other than cheap political tricks to make hunting a massive issue knowing most people will vote in favour of a ban as they call a act of Parliament. And yes the green party are anti angling they are a international party fully inline with ethical vegan policies, they would end fish farming, so sports fish don't stand a chance.

Good lad. Those old Daiwa reels are absolutely bomb proof. I picked up a set of Emblem Pro's (the fishing version of the old Emblem Spod Reel) for a couple of hundred quid to use on one specific water due to their silly long retrieve. I use them for 90% of my fishing now despite having several other sets worth much, much more!

Some companies have a size on them in mm, I think jumbo are bigger than large though or maybe not dependant on who you are buying from 🤔 AA Baits do an XXL size which I would classify as jumbo a large and a standard, I would judge in mm size, I have used hinders tigers and would happily use them again

I think it's down to who you ask! One man's large is another's jumbo (Ooooohhhhhh, matron!) https://hinders.co.uk/search?type=product&q=tiger nuts*
