something a bit different, Leeda Icon Elite Match rods and Daiwa 7HT multipliers, hunting bass at 5am! had a nice brace of bass, best going 4lb. (3 doggies too 🙄)

Can always use the pellet band a tight hair as well so use anything pull it through the bait and use a piece of grass as a stop not a fool proof method but if something turns up in the swim it’s quickly doable.

I made the standard anglers mistake of going into Birds tackle shop today, ended up spending £40 on bits, more Gardner Incizors, Running lead systems, quick lead clips, another pair of forceps, a few Sea fishing hooks, squid and crushed hemp. I really should make a list of stuff I need rather than trying to remember my way round fresh and saltwater tackle boxes. It looks like the standard tackle shop spend is now £40 for 'odds and sods'.

I have to agree with your take on the bailiffs at Horseshoe. They seem to revel in being important, some to a greater degree than others. I've fished the water on many occasions but never really felt welcome there. Ian.

When I reached the age of 70 I thought I'd better start acting like a grown up. Didn't like it so I've gone back to being a pillock. Far happier now. Ian.
