Couple of Bivvy sales at Angling Direct

I'm hoping a few day sessions in the coming weeks, next week looks cold, but sunny weather, with myself n wife car sharing its abit hard at moment. But I'm hoping tonsort all my gear next week while on the afternoon shift, replace the Sonik AXS Bivvy Skin. I've not renewed my club water ticket this year, I'm going to be targeting 2 local Park Lakes more this year, very pressured waters, but have some lovely,clean looking fish....1 lake even has a 40lb in it.

At the moment I'm eating alot of red meat in all my meals... Breakfast consists of Museli and 1 Coffee. Snacks are Nuts or a Protein Shake/Bar Lunch consists of Steak/Mince/Vegetables and Rice. Tea is more or less the same. Plenty fluids also during the day... I do have a cheat every other day and a Sunday is always a roast.... Exercise is walking the dog, Biking to work and Daily Stretching for about 30mins. So far since November, I've lost just over a Stone.

I'm dreading going through all mine 🫣🫣, I've added n added past few months I've not been.

I would go on a limb and say some of the NGT luggage is up there withbthe best....I've had the Small, Medium & Large Holdalls, Buzz Bar bag and never had 1 fault with any of them.

Every video I've seen doesn't show you putting up.or taking down, I bet that's 1 issue they realised after finishing the line/product.

I'll have a full butchers when have a good dry day or 2.

I'll have a full butchers when have a good dry day or 2...I completely forgot about it. There's 2 of everything except Storm Poles....2 Bivvy Bags, 2 Door/Full Panels, 2 Groundsheet.

I've not had a single positive yet, son n wife have and rest of family but not me. Wife works for NHS in local hospital, also the local outpatient centre and various doctors around wigan.....so whatever injection she has/had, I've also had. But I also think I have a good immune system, also my line of work is outdoors.

I also have 1 these as a spare in my bag, quite warm to also.

Not a Single Fishing related prezzie (yet 🤞)

To all....

Is it me (or am I getting old now) or does it not feel like Christmas?

Was thinking same, would March time be a good time? I'm gonna go in with Particle to get some spots going/cleared, then introduce the pellets, then the Sticky Krill + Bio Marnie....hopefully give a good month about twice a week....but need to get down and also find some areas with the Marker Rod....

The lake runs from 6ft (from the narrow bottom of picture) to around 16ft (to middle of the wider top of picture)... How some of the Fishing Areas look... The last picture is taken from the Left Red Dot, Middle area, on the above Map. At the moment, Bait wise I'm at, 20kg Aller Aqua Pellets, around 60kg Bio Marine, 5kg Sticky Krill, 5kg DNA Slk.... What would be a good time to start up a Pre Baiting Campaign for Spring Time fishing ???

Just looked at the Bivvy off my mate, and I forgot he got 1 of the 1st edition AXS bivvys...... when we were out on a session I noticed his Bivvy was alot lighter khaki green than mine, also he had no flaps over the rear zip windows, so we emailed sonik and didn't think nothing of it.....UNTIL He gave me a box and it had in a full new AXS Bivvy System, without the frame, Skin, Panel, Door, Groundsheet the lot.... So now I've got a Sonik AXS Bivvy, with 2 skins to choose from, 2 lots of everything except Storm poles, and an overwrap.....if only I could get hold of an AXS frame I'd have 2 AXS bivvys.

Got off a mate.... Sonik AXS Bivvy System & Overwrap and 5kg Sticky Krill

Since writing that post, I've deleted the account....🫣🫣 Realised its something to do without...

I have now joined the world of "The Book of Face" social Media....won't be adding friends, just following all the Carp Articles/Groups as possible, also Buy/Sell sites.

I'm just stocking up on bait for next year, upto 55kg of Bio Marine now, also gonna look out for an half decent Trakker Tempest (1man) for my days/quick nights fishing, will use the Tempest 200 on the longer sessions.

April last year, myself n a mate built a small camp/hand sized fire to warm out hands....bivvys stunk for a bout 2 week after.

Not a Purchase....I won a 5kg DNA Bundle earlier in year....a gave my uncle to start him off, found out today he hasn't used it, so (was only fair) I got it back 😁😁

I think it's as dear as some people make it, in which ever discipline you choose you have Budget, Middle n Top End tackle. My Tackle I'm happy with now, but I'm gonna look for a Trakker Tempest 100/100T for my Day Fishing trips, night fishing I'll keep my Tempest 200. Bait I'm now getting in Bulk. Venue will be changing from next year, the 2 FREE Park Lakes (small & large) will be fished more.

Still have all the Manilla only, but a water I'm going to after New year reacts to Krill/Crab/Fishy baits ONLY, sounds weird but I've asked alot about it and they have all said the same....No Particle, Pellets, or anything like that....Boilie only seems to be the Aproach, so with the Bio Marine on offer I had to swoop at it, if not, then I'll jump on a catfish water later in year 👍

I've just cleared the local Go Outdoors shelves of the last of its much baits Bio Marine. £37 for Below 😁 10kg 14mm Boilies 1kg 18mm Boilies 1kg 4mm Pellets 1kg Stick Mix 14mm Boosted Hookbaits x2 14mm Pop Ups No Bio Marine left on Shelves...... ALL BUY 1 GET 1 FREE
