    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

    Have a listen to Ghost Love Score by Nightwish... Floor is a Valkyrie with the voice of a godess

    Otters

    bluelabel replied to crusian's topic in UK Carp Fishing

    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

    It may not be an otter... it could be a mink they have been known to take carp too

    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...

    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

    The issue I had was that a Dwarf rod did not fit into a scope bag... the reel seats are in different positions so the reel did not sit in the reel pouch correctly... IIRC the Dwarf reel sat is closer to the butt end of the rod than the scopes and the reel snagged in the pouch section of the bag

    A couple of lessons from someone who can chuck it a long way would probably get the distance with the kit you already have... I could just about manage 100mts... an hour with Terry Edmonds and I was hitting 140mts (admittedly with his rods 12' 3.5lbs casting 2.5 - 3oz weights) with a spod/spomb rod and a loaded spod/spomb you should hit the mark, it just needs someone to show you how

    In winter their metabolic rate slows as does digestion... less movement means less food required... therefore less protiens and fats needed to maintain condition

    I stopped using oiled pellets ages ago... I use coarse pellets as they break down quickly... That said, I've often found that pellets tend to make carp pre-occupied with them... especially micros and flavoured ones more so... I used softened 2mm and Goo-ed pellet in bags, the fish were tearing up the bottom to get every morsel of 2mm pellet, yet ignored the hookbaits... now I use a matching hookbait and pellet glug and I get better results

    Yes there are a few... I used one a good few years back... Les Quis is the one I used... they are still going I think "Your Trip - Les Quis" https://www.lesquis.com/your-trip/

    Spot on mate... When I blanked I used to beat meself up mentally every time.. "why didn't I catch ? What could I have done differently ? Was I in the wrong spot ? Now if I blank... so what...? Since I took the pressure off I have caught more and enjoyed my sport from an aesthetic point of view taking more notice of nature and surroundings... enjoy the journey as well as the destination...👍

    Putting carbon on the back burner and fishing with vintage gear... best thing by far in all my fishing... I packed up match fishing and started fishing for myself once I stopped using carbon... now pretty much all my fishing is done with old gear... I doesn't catch me more... but I'm happier on my days out now the pressure is off
  23. bluelabel
    Bank Tackle are pretty good and priced fairly too
  24. bluelabel
    Ours not to reason Why... ours just to catch and buy... ( more)🤣😛
