22lb common caught at 8am this morning

That's a lovely Ghostie , Ouch. 😁

my result 🙄

Well I had no luck on the bass front, mainly because the whiting and dogfish were on the bait in minutes. Always next time.

No no no you’re doing it all wrong! No camou tape on the rod butts, no dinky 3 rod buzz bars, where if you get a take on the middle rod, you can’t strike it without knocking off the other two, no folded reel handles… barely even trying also, 12ft rods?? That’s so 1990s… where’s the 6ft sawn offs and bread bombs? 🙄

Yep I guess it would get boring if you always caught what you wanted, at least you caught though well done.

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👍😎

Been doing a couple of sea beach trips lately and I was faced with convincing a rag worm to get on a 2/0 hook. A beach walker came up to ask have i had any fish. I had the worm in one hand and the hook in the other and said to the guy last time I baited up was in 1986 not sure I can do it 🤢 He laughed and I just got on with it. Got a pouting on the worm knocked the fish on the head and put that on a bigger hook and catch a small conger. ..but for a moment I struggled. In the past had no problem with peeler or hardback for smooth hound or live bait I could never eat a lobster, crab or prawns, ok with fish and the best tasting one Iv had is pollock, which was on the bbq within 30 mins of catching it yummy !

As mat pics go nothing wrong with that mate 👍

Gladwells have bought up the recipe for Vitalin and it is now Vitacarp. Other than that look at Mollassed Rabbit mix in animal feed suppliers. I've used that as a groundbait base for years.

To me they look like a middle man especially for boilies when you could get them direct. looking deeper into it the owner has take. On a couple of lakes that pooped out.

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 😂

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 🤞.

Credit cards...fatal 🙈🤣 been grafting the last couple months and nearly got it cleared, £72.45 left to pay which will be cleared Friday 💪 Anyway, I'm still sorting a mixer for my bait rolling setup. Does anyone know if it needs to be a dough hook or would a paddle attachment work?
