  1. Nice bit of 70's classical prog for a Tuesday One of the early Genesis tracks played by Steve Hackett's "Genesis Revisited"... Steve was the last member of the lineup to leave permanently back in 1977. the guitar solo in this is just sooooo melodic without widdly widdly histrionics... and the whole piece is so close to the original as to be uncanny.... I love prog...
  2. No auto tune or effects here... just a blinding voice
  3. Bet they start cutting swims and spreading chippings all over the place... I really question their approach to their fisheries... I've been twice and I was hoping to get back next year... I won't bother now...
  4. Have a look at Berners Hall... the Res is 24 acres with a big head of fish and on a day ticket... don't bother booking a weekend though it gets rammed ( all swims booked til nov for weekends) theres also Birds Green on day ticket... Chelmsford has a lot of night venues, BUT.... they ain't cheap. And theres Ongar and District only 1 night venue and limited tickets and membership
  5. Owdo mate.. sounds like you're not too far from me... the Brentwood fishery, was that Tylers Common...? Try Billericay DAS for carp venues they have a lot of nice waters, plenty of fish in nice surroundings ( only a couple available for nights though) or for a challenge theres Berners Hall reservoir
  6. Same as Fox and Ngt... good mats, you need a sling to weigh and slip the fish back though
  7. Prawn on a big hook and freelined... how simple do you want it...? 😛👍
  8. Hope so... be a bit of a pain if its outside and the weather is pants
  9. 12lb line and size 6 hooks... I 'd get some 1.5-2.5 oz leads and make sure your rod can cast those leads... minimum of 2.5lb test curve.
  10. Is now the North Weald Carp Show... seems the deal with the Brentwood Sports centre has fallen through, or come to an end, so now its on North Weald... not sure if its inside or out... its usually the venue for the Saturday market... dates 26th/27th March
  11. 'Owdo Tagman, Welcome to the forum...👍🍺
  12. I thought Cuttle Mill was closed now... Edit... Nope... just checked... still open
  13. Oddly enough, there's nowt I need or want fishing wise... could do with changing the Bike... not really gelling with the Bonneville Bobber, don't think the missus 'd be too pleased though
  14. That's some serious carping Kev... nice one... I've not been out in weeks... gotta wet a line soon.. getting a bit stir crazy
  15. Love the opening drums time signature on the intro where they shift a beat every second bar... awesome and that last note of Floor's just gives me goosebumps every time
  16. Have a listen to Ghost Love Score by Nightwish... Floor is a Valkyrie with the voice of a godess
  17. I'd say its possible... a lot of carp damage gets attributed to Otters when it fact its the Mink doing the damage... not defending otters, just adding another possible culprit to the mix
  18. It may not be an otter... it could be a mink they have been known to take carp too
  19. Hmmm... does the beaked point, the curve of the shank, and the angle the line exits the eye, not close off the point... I always have it in my head that its closing off the whole hook to the point that its harder to penetrate a lip... just my take on it...
  20. That said... one of these works just as well... ye olde hot water bottle... I bet the heated bag is north of 200 sovs
  21. Dunno why it hasn't been done before... could've done with one in 2018 when I did a week on Redmire... I pitched my bivvy on snow... froze me plums of for nearly 4 days out of the 7
