Did 4 nights on Bluebell's Kingy from Sunday 30th Nov, only 4 others on so got in the swim I wanted. First night 4am as the weather front came in I got a take on the middle rod and landed a nice linear. Same approach as last trip with pellet hookbaits and PVA funnel web bags. No more action for the remainder but cannot complain in Dec and nothing else came out. Hopefully back after x-mas for another go.

Managed to get a night in on Thursday last week. The weather was truly horrible and by the time I'd dragged all my gear to the swim and got the rods sorted everything was soaked through. A very uncomfortable night indeed. I was rewarded for that horrible night by an absolutely gorgeous Friday morning... cold, but a a lovely bright sunny day. By 8AM I'd actually spotted some fizzing so was happy to spend a few hours scaring the carp off trying to find a spot in the area. Alas, it wasn't to be, so with the forecast telling me I'd be getting wet again I headed for home having originally planned to do 2 nights. Mrs looked worried about me having never seen me come home early in nearly 20 years of being together 🤣 Tbf as I listened to that rain on Friday night I knew I'd made the right decision. Must be getting soft in my old age.

Kingy 1st Point - December

I thought this thread might light up with black friday bargains, I've gone a little nuts 😂 20kg of AA Baits tropamino base mix Fish Liquids,salmon oil, scopex flavour Electric caulking gun 15mm rolling table, cork dust And whilst shopping in morrisons @dalej2014made me😂 purchase a stand mixer for £35 (bit of a bargain tbh) So it looks like I've become a home roller this weekend.

I always think I am going to catch the biggun, so we are both possibly a little misguided 😂

Are you going to tell him he is practising on the wrong kingy😱? Was a great result though, even if it wasn't the right lake 😂

Fishing is meant to be an enjoyment, not an endurance! I had paid for a 48 hour session back in the summer but after 24 hours of relentless heat and nothing coming out on the whole (packed!) lake, I went home 24 hours early. I'm looking at going for an overnighter or two over the next few months but every time I look at the weather forecast, I decide against it. I know, I'm suffering with old age as well!

Winter sun found ❤️

So mild this week, prob a good time to go now.

Lol - I thought Ashmire was gonna be Ashmead! 🤣

Great result at this time of the year Kev. Well done.

Copy and paste from BAF British Aqua Feeds (BAF) is subsidiary of DNA Baits Ltd and is a major bulk feed supplier to the UK, European & Worldwide Aquaculture markets with particular emphasis on nutrition and quality of feed materials.

They were at the winter show on Saturday so still trading 👍

Dna baits was at the same address as BAF a few years ago. So my guess is most of the stuff you could get from DNA is BAF rebadged.

Amazing what you can find using Google lol. https://www.google.com/maps/search/31b+Vale+Business+Park+Llandow+Cowbridge+CF71+7PF/@51.4413761,-3.4989309,482m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTEyMy4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Give them a call but as Elmo said Black Friday wipes a lot of companies out they are owned by NGT. Or share the same premises. i added an 18m pole into the basket

Yup. I have that trip in March (can't wait!) and then a week planned in April so I'm making up for all this lost bank time 😁
