No-one's catching owt with rods that aint level.... you know that Elmo!

You need em like this, if you wanna catch a fish My wife is trying to sew a jumper up at the minute, she also needs magnifying goggles I think 😂

Level rods... ???? Ye Gods man... whatever happened to "Butts Up" lines pointed at yer leads... tis the "Ultra Cult" way...😉 (Adopts voice of the Mandalorian) THIS IS THE WAY...!!! 😛😎👍

S'cuse the mat shot, 11-12lb ish (no scales with me) caught on a light feeder rod... I s'pose I could call it an early Chrimbo pressy👍😎

Use some kind of magnifying glass to aid with tying rigs? I'm really struggling to see close up at the moment, uncoated braid was a nightmare when I tried a rig yesterday, in the coming years I think I will have to use wire and shark hooks to be able to tie them. I was told it was the bait boat of the rig tying world to use a magnifying glass and that it was cheating 😮😭😱

Good luck

Depends coz if there’s weed in the margins it’s tips up lol

100% agree with pan fried bass or cod fillet. I couldn't believe the taste difference from fish I'd caught to shop brought/ chip shop fish. Also plaice is one of my faves. Hopefully bag myself a nice bass this evening 🤞.

Oh dear, the number I pull legs off and put a hook through when fishing for thornback or bass... I love prawns, shrimp, crab and squid as well as other fish, although I rarely eat farmed trout or salmon as I don't like farmed fish and how and what they are fed. Freshly caught bass, thornback skate, cod do go down well. Skate with nutmeg mashed potato, carrots and broccoli and a cheese sauce. Bass and cod I fillet and fry in the pan with onions, then whatever potatoes, except chips. In fact my favourite fish and chip shop fish is battered plaice.

😂😂 I can't risk it then. I've already invested too much thought into this capture 😂 What about if your rods aren't level?

Even if you caught it, it wouldn't count if you'd used a magnifying glass to tie the rig. Back she goes without a photo 😜

😂😂😂😂 You said if you use a Magnifying glass you won't catch a 68lb common cos it will know you cheated 😂

I use a magnifying glass light thingy when I tie flies nowadays whoever said it was cheating poke them In The eye and say now tie a rig lol

Reading glasses? As for getting uncoated braid through a hook eye, join the club, it's a nightmare if you have it decide to 'split'. I just wet it and hope it doesn't spread. Seriously if you need a magnifying glass, or reading glasses, it is helping your vision.
