I've gone a little bit nuts again but completed the production line 😂 Thanks to @greekskii for the tip off though. I am made up tonight. I now have all I need to start really making some boilies.

I will invent a poopult to deliver it back 😂 Either that or the lake owner wouldn't see it because I would have already trodden in it.

I've trained him to do it behind your bivvy, then we'll get you banned and stick rods in your vacant plot! Edgy! 👍

Right I've had it with this Kev's corner business - back off, I have a dog and not afraid to set him loose! So you better have some snacks or be pestered to death! 🤬

Soon to be know as Yonny's poaching corner..... 😉

Handy for not Kev's corner. 😂

It's for washed out baits only.

Sorry it has taken so long, but after we have managed to get server sorted there is now a section for videos: https://forum.carp.com/forum/51-fishing-videos/

If its not Kev's corner, it will be Jacks poo patch 😂

Seriously though these are a great design, so simple 👌

Just fitted my new rod locks ready for spring - hopefully no more flying rods 😆

Not sure if this is the right section to add this but.... Many over a certain age will remember the original series, it's now on YouTube with a new series and they have their own channel. I have watched the first two episodes and have to say I really enjoyed it, so refreshing to not hear some bloke banging on about big carp captures, which in my opinion has been done to death. I am no way associated with the channel, but if you want a break from the usual stuff, maybe give it a try?

Used to have these on VHS. In his prime was a bit of a lad, but lot's of great info from his first 3 books. Remember meeting him at a Carp Society slide show and talk many years ago, then went outside for a demo of his air powered boilie cannon thing 😀 Part one: Part two: No copyright infringement intended but think some of a certain age might like this ?

Hi guys I thought I would make a quick how to guide for uploading videos from youtube. First find the video you want to share. Then click on the arrow. Then this appears Click copy link and you get a short code come up. All you need to do is click paste and bingo You want your link to be embedded like above. I think it's best if you try and include the title of the video in the title of the post as it will make them easier to look through. Hope this helps @salokcinnodrog might be useful as a sticky?

Thanks for doing that mate 👍. Unfortunatly I make a complete 'dogs dinner' about my links recently, should improve in the future now. Not sure if any mods can do this, but maybe remove my post in the YouTube section and I can replace it with a topic with a proper heading and hopefully a proper link this time! 😃

She's a long time gone mate, but that was the start of it. This kind of thing just shows how fragile our infrastructure is and who's going to do anything about it??

The only country in the world to privatise it's most natural resource???

I'll have a look see if I can transfer them

Old thread i know, but the only one I could find How much longer are we going to put up with the complete ack of reinvestment in our infrastructures. My town (estimated 16,500 homes) is without water, due to a burst mains. This has caused utter chaos all day. These private firms pay out to the shareholders and hope everything else sorts it's self out. Then they have the cheek to say we got to pay more. Oil prices are another, perfect example of us being bent over Reform is needed, just not the party.

This one’s supposed to be pretty good so will watch it later

A new section has been added to Non Carp Banter. Sorry it has taken so long, but after we have managed to get server sorted there is now a section for videos: https://forum.carp.com/forum/51-fishing-videos/

Is Kev's corner! 🤪

I've somehow managed to lose 3 butt rests and banksticks from my pike gear so just had the joy of purchasing 3 more of each. As an edit, I just realised exactly where I lost them; I was fishing at Beccles on the quay, where there is no way of pushing sticks into the tarmac path, so I put them underneath the bench I was sitting on, and at the end of the day forgot to put them back into the unhooking mat as I folded it up.

Not sure the air dryer behind is a good idea... 🤣

I’ve got a cross cast handle on it at the moment, it just needed an extra washer to get it to work. It will do for now, might have to speak to Weston developments and get some hold up handles for them all…

Can you not get 3 handles off another Daiwa that's similar - may cost less than chasing one rare handle?

Just scraping in the December report with a cheeky little 8lb mirror carp, caught it on a 12mm pink Mulbz pop up from club lake

I knew I had it somewhere..

Well the end of the year has gone well. The koi are doing great and still feeding most days due to the elevated temps. The nets/covers are now off since the leaves are gone. The water clarity is insane.... you can see every little detail on the deck in 2m. The temporary floating skimmer has worked a treat. I picked up a pond vacuum a month ago and gave the bottom a good clean at the weekend which means there's no detritus for any nasties to hide in ready for the spring. It's a real shame I can't post vids on here as I have some great footage of the koi milling about. So now I need to plan for spring which apparently is the most tricky and dangerous time of year. Parasites wake up before the koi so it's essential I do everything I can to keep their immune systems working as well as possible. If you lose your water parameters early on, you're chasing your tail all year, so I have to be bang on it to stay a step ahead of any issues with algae, weed, DO, and ammonia, nitrite, pH etc. Really enjoyed the last few months and looking forward to my first full year with the pond. Looking to feed heavily next year to get some good growth, while maintaining the water quality. I'll keep this thread updated from time to time for anyone that's interested.

Literally ,right in,amonst those dying reeds,i had placed my bait..you can see the line cutting down from the peg on the bankstick it was good knowing your freebie and rig were spot on

Across the field from our cottage are a couple of small pools ..its where I go in the colder months ,or should I say rain ,..I thought I'd try the washing line method as they seem to spook off the lines very easily...any way this fish was one of two I fluked out ..

Don’t forget the carp anglers prayer… “dear lord, when I die, please don’t let the wife sell my carp gear for the price i told her I paid for it”

Thankfully 😂 The only people that will do something about it will probably never get the chance.

Yes mate, me too, but you can’t add it to the basket, so when I called up to place the order over the phone, he checked his stock and found he had none left 🙁
