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.

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.

Kingy 1st Point - December

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.

Is this View of your bivvy door group ? This is my view currently, little gap is the fart extruder, it's pretty windy today 😂

Winter sun found ❤️

Bank Tackle always resend or offers a refund if there are any issues with deliveries. I work for Bank Tackle, and I assure any readers that we never tell customers that the responsibility is with Royal Mail. I strongly suspect the OP is deliberately trying to discredit the company. If this is not the case, then I would suggest the OP pop us an email and we can get the issue sorted for them.

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!

That's a fair point, I would like to add anytime I did any cooking, tea making etc I did open the fart flap more to let air in, this was mainly when it rained hard

Hello Elmo Sorry if this is hijacking your post , but is this a good time to remind anglers not as experienced as you to ventilate due to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning ? .

I'm blanking in the cold and now rain still got 24 hours to go though 🙏for a bite now

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 😁

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

Hi guys Im new here just wondered if anyone has experience of catching carp along the river teme at broadwas,I actually own a few spots there I need to sell as am retiring soon so be glad to hear back with your comments if you know of someone who could make use of them for catching carp and maybe pitching a pop up tent let me know?

The calm after the storm, still blanked though.

I've stuck a zig out, desperate times call for a fathom height zig.

C'mon @elmoputney! I'm crossing everything for you (& a bit jealous).

I know the feeling mate. Fishing time is precious with a young family under normal circumstances, let alone when you've just moved. We had the first real frost this morning, that's been very productive for me in the past when I had the time to go. March will soon come around and we can go for that big beautiful common🤞🤞🤞

Deff slowed up / finished for me for a few months, old bones can't take the cold weather fishing anymore 😃 I did manage to get a copy of Archie Braddock 'Fantastic Feeder Fishing' a while ago, old skool now but very interesting read, makes a change from usual big carp stuff books 👍

All good here mate. The carp went mental feeding after Fridays storm and then this last couple of days headed to the bottom. I think they'll stay there for the foreseeable. I completely missed my Nov fishing session. No free nights until December now. We still have lots to do on the new house so it'd not surprise me if I don't get out again this year.

Its a shame really. A mate had a new pb (43) the other night. I can't stick up the picture though. This is usually the best time to be out imo. Family stuff means, I'm not able to get out at minute. How's the pond life?

With the drop in temps the fishing and the forum posts appear to have slowed right down!

Exactly — your contract is with the seller, not the delivery company. The seller is responsible for making sure you receive your goods, and they have to chase the courier if something goes wrong. The points about payment methods are also spot on: credit cards offer extra protection under Section 75 for purchases over £100, debit cards let you request a chargeback, and PayPal gives you buyer protection if you act within their time limits. Always good to know your options depending on how you paid.

I found a lovely new happy place half way down France on holiday over the summer. It was a lovely place in the middle of the countryside, space for the family, a pool and a lovely little lake and enough around to keep the family amused as I get a load of fishing in. I think I unlocked the key just as I was running out of time. Coming back to work has been the hardest it's ever been. TBH, I'm sat here looking at the weather and thinking 'what the hell's happened'! I suppose it couldn't last.

Still can’t decide if that saying is the correct way around or not location bait and presentation ?? there’s a future topic lol

Bits and bobs from Bank Tackle just under £14 thought I’d give them a go as you all go on about them…the quality looks good and at a fair price 👍 The Fox bobbin weights were £5 delivered..
