I had to Google this but you're right that will 100% be where they got it from!

Big Bad Barry from Ben and Holly!

So the bread paid off. My eldest son & I, had a few fish off the top. Great fun. At one point it was like a jacuzzi in front of us. Biggest was about an 8lb common. No pics as not permitted I'm afraid. Also learnt that this venue, might not be the one for serious overnighters, due to the amount of little ones.

The best stuff is called Saki Hikari and 2kg costs 45 quid or 50 quid for the all-seasons version! 😂😂😂 The Orchard Fisheries stuff you just bought is not a million miles away in quality but a fraction of the price. You should see great results.

Ordered, thanks buddy. Mine are only 6-8" so just went for the small ones. 2k. More expensive than my boilies

Most epic sight I've had in carp fishing was seeing the big girl down welly chasing spawning tench around the lake, she looked angry and stayed within feet of the tench they couldn't shake her off. If not the spawn she was eating the tench anyway lol

This was driven by a certain Mr. Pomeroy! For anyone genuinely interested in lead-free weights, check these out: Weights – Evolve Tackle Not cheap at nearly 3 quid a pop but they do look decent.

Correct 👆 The guy is trying to get lead banned for one reason only $$$$$$$$$$$$ I disagree with the unnecessary dumping of leads. However, I believe the safest rig is the one that lands the fish safely and efficiently, and on many waters I've fished dumping the lead plays a part in that.

Very wise of you to ask mate. Don't get any feed from the local garden centre. Most of it is absolute rubbish. Naturally you can spend whatever you want on koi food.... some of it costs a fortune. I use the stuff below. The spec is right up there with the best feeds but it's a third of the price of the major Japanese brands. Koi Premium and Colour Food Pellet Mix -koi food - Orchard Fisheries

A few hours with my youngest boy this afternoon, resulted in a little common and few grass carp to 15lb. Happy days

Lake gremlins, their nastiest trick yet. I got to the lake to discover that the stock fish were interested more in reproduction. I parked next to the cottage so I could see if I recognised any of the fish. It looked like the new stock rather than originals and the syndicate manager said we can fish, just nowhere near the shallows, so I went down towards the causeway and deeper water. After a quick play with the marker rod, the first two rods were easy to sort, at around 40metres. I got my 3rd rod out of the sling, the tip wrap caught up and snapped the tip eye of my RH Enduro rod. Not a happy bunny! On a postive note I have just spombed in a bucket of Vitacarp, mini maize, maples, 2pints of maggots and 2 tubs of worms up the opposite end of the lake I intended. I'd been bringing them specifically for BC, but with spawning in the shallows I had to use them elsewhere

Not watching it as above, he’s just out to make his money mainly. Does he go in to how long it takes a coated lead, which most are nowadays, takes to actually leach toxic metals in to the water to the extent they have an effect on the environment? The process of how that works? Or anything like that? I’d be more worried about the microplastics than the lead.

Just remember ,Poms ,Pomeroy has a vested monetary interest in this .. Same or similar ethos to the Gripz hooks,what I'm saying is either he's got a valid point ,or slightly worrying other people / anglers..just like he did over the gripz hooks ,which I've used ,caught on them ,and binned .. I use lead clips ,I don't use heavy leads max 2oz most places I go ,I rarely,if ever drop a lead .. Also when the Korda vids came out ,showing or pushing dropping leads ,again ...who profited from that ..? Those Stonze,and I've used em are not the best ...however other companies are making inroads to non toxic leads ..due to environmental concerns .. Dropping the lead ,to land a fish in weedy situations I understand ,but some drop leads willy nilly and there is only one person to blame for that.. Would I use pallatrax stuff again ,ans is no !

Ive got permission to show pictures of these ones

So, i just brought 5 young ones for my sons pond. Im guessing that's me signed up for a lot more pond maintenance? @yonny would you be so kind as to send me a link for decent feed? Its interesting watching them settling in with the goldfish

6 crusty rolls and a bloomer. Love a bit of surface fishing. First day of new season on club waters. So going to have a look about at the same time🤞

I popped into a mates lake, thinking most of the carp were dead, only to find around 20 mid doubles all cruising around, occasionally breaking the surface and splashing their tales about. If I didn't know better, I'd have said they looked to be getting ready for it. We have had a fairly warm spring so far

Could be a heated lake, won't be long now 😂

It's completely temperature dependant. I'd be amazed if the carp were spawning as they need at least 17C water temps. Even my pond is only ~12.5C at this point. They could mean a different species perhaps?
