  1. I think my carp fishing is over for the foreseeable future, I'm just so bored with it at the moment, I won't be renewing my night card or day ticket. I actually went shore fishing a couple of weeks ago and I'm back in love with my sea fishing, I went with a couple of mates and had a great time, I only caught a few whiting but the thing is you don't know what's on the end of that line, I had to borrow a rod and reel from my mate, because I'd sold all my gear but guess what I'm starting a fresh with new gear and I can't wait. I did keep 1 rod and tomorrow I'm going out to buy a new reel. I will be hanging around on the forum and keeping my eye on things, it's been great being part of this forum and had great advice and learnt a lot in my short time in carp fishing but my first love for fishing has always been sea fishing even though it involves more travelling and cost but I don't really care, it's all about enjoying my fishing and over the last 2 years I've not really been enjoying myself. So I wish everybody tight lines and great fishing and catches and will be keeping an eye on things. All the best Keith.
  2. Mine would be Perch. Tench. Carp. And sea from the shore Smooth hound. Ballan Wrasse. Cod.
  3. Welcome to the forum Andy. Just enjoy your fishing and time on the bank, that's what it's all about mate. 😁👍🎣
  4. I hope so mate. 🤣😂
  5. Well my plans for fishing this weekend have gone now, I'm taking my youngest daughter to a college open day which is much more important than any fishing. So I'll try again next weekend 😁👍
  6. This is exactly my plan, I know what the bottom is like so I know my usual multi rig approach will work fine, the main difference is fishing a much deeper water. Unfortunately my 24hrs has turned into a day session on Saturday due to being greedy and working overtime on Sunday. But it will still be great to get back on the bank. 😁👍
  7. They go up to mid twenty and the odd high twenty which rarely come out. And old pics mate taken in 2019.🤣👍
  8. Will do mate, there will always be at least a rod shot from me. 😁👍
  9. I'm out again this weekend for another 24hrs, I'm going to be trying a different club lake Well it's a Reservoir 20 to 25 ft deep a different challenge all together, my usual lake has got a charity carp match on it which Highy is fishing and good luck to him, So I thought I would give somewhere else a go, I have pike fished it and once for the carp with nothing. But it will make a nice change. Here are a couple of pictures.
  10. Forget that only just seen the date 🤪
  11. Sounds like a bit more serious than what happened to mine mate, my qd was just tighter than normal, sorry I can't help you with that one mate.
  12. There was nothing broken mate it was just the washers in the spool that needed re greasing. The free spool had just gone really tight and wasn't working properly but with a clean and fresh grease it was back to normal. I just bought some washer grease off ebay. What's the problem with yours mate?
  13. Angling direct jrc defender carbon composite arms and 1 piece carbon handle 39.99, I bought 1 a few months ago well made and strong, no complaints what so ever. 👍
  14. Ye elmo but I bet they don't even know what a Wigan kebab is, so are they really that good. 🤣😂🤣
  15. Good luck and enjoy elmo. 😁👍🎣🎣🎣
  16. Good luck on your new water tonight Paul.😁👍🎣🎣🎣🎣
  17. I think this is the case with a lot of waters now mate.👍
  18. Are you on your new water or on Fan? I'm on Fan myself next weekend Saturday till Sunday. 😁👍
  19. Good luck elmo, keep us updated mate. 😁👍
  20. My spending has reduced at lot recently, I do keep thinking I need new rods I only have budget ones but they do everything I want them to do. I got a new barrow a couple of years ago which I which I'd gone for a bigger one because now I'm doing more over nighters I'm having to do two trips, it's not a long push just a pain. I think when I make any future large purchases I'm going to go for better quality gear that hopefully last longer without replacing. I have decided I'm going to treat myself to some new alarms next that won't be for a while because I will have to save up and not tell the wife what they cost. I'm going to go for delkims, I've always had budget alarms so I want some decent ones.
  21. As title says misty morning.
  22. It's the spreader block that's broken but I want a new net because mine wasn't up to much anyway, but thanks for the help mate. 🙂👍
