Seeing how you all had fancy chairs, I've just ordered the new ridgemonkey umpire chair, it has really telescopic legs powered by a remote control so you can raise it up and look over the lake in comfort, and it drops down in a flash if you get a run, comes complete with rig board, carry bag and it's especially useful for casting zigs. Was expensive though £2019.99

A couple of pics of last nights overnighter

I think i may have to sell of some of my RC cars and rock crawlers to ruddy well fund this return

He’s a div

My very old Zebco 11ft 2.5tc rods, they are not up to modern carp fishing so about to be replaced with 12ft 3lb rods, reels are old but very good DAM quick 850, super smooth and still capable

The boy got in on the act 11lb mutant 12lb mirror, one of only half a dozen in the pond

A few from last night 26lb 2oz 23lb 5oz 23lb on the nose

Two packs.. cases? of size 10 kaptor hooks, put a size 4 in for a comparison £4.50

Hmm! A 'soft' through action rod can put more pressure on than a high test curve rod. As for pulling for a break or retrieving gear on snagged rigs, I frequently wrap a towel around my hand and pull the line, quite often you can pull it out of the weed without breaking. If it's a snag, then not so easy, although I have pulled in many a branch festooned with rigs and leads with the wrapped towel.

It always happens, just when you think you are sorted. The folding camping chairs are pretty handy, I use one on the beach rather than my Solar chair.

Haven't heard that one for ages. Quite right though

Hmm, return to carp fishing lots of old gear in loft, no ned to buy new stuff, oh how wrong that last part is.... so new line 15lb not strong enough so new line 18lb use old rods, no to soft so a pair of Diawa 3lb 12ft rods ordered Reels are okay for now, just odd bit of corrosion on them and alarms working okay new landing net, new day shelter, hard to put up so new brolly, not large enough hooks, hooklink material Boillies, pop ups. Next item might be a carp chair, using a folding camping chair for now..............but getting there

Love the ronnie myself.... Mine is tied as below onto a running rig, all to be going in a PVA Bag next time out, also only 5 inch the rig.

Trakker CR 3 piece suit, ready for winter now. OMC tungsten putty. 20m 20lb OMC flourocarbon. Korda Krimps Korda Small Krimp Tool Korda Spinner Ring Swivels Time to try making some of my own Ronnie's with a nice stiff boom.

The rod rest looks good as do rod and reel 👍

A day on the Chelmer, MkIV Avon and Adcock Stanton pin... only a coupla little 'uns though
