    It's commercial vehicles only to start with but if you have a van converted to a camper like a vw for example it's included. Greater Manchester areas.

    Took a little while had to go and buy a booster from Halfords, I've got 2 rods out in the dark and sort of found some spots pub chucks tonight lol but I am sort of fishing 😂 got the house up now going to make the 3rd a solid bag rod and pump that into the abyss too, I'm not in a bad area to listen for signs though and I found some rudd flipping so thought if they are here there may also be carp 

    Glad you got sorted elmo, good luck mate, what ever happens just enjoy yourself mate and make the most of you're time on the bank. 😁🤞🎣

    Happy New year to everyone and I hope it's a good one for everyone and you're family's. 

    I certainly hope me and my family have a better one, The end of 2021 wasn't a good one for me and mine, I've been quiet about it but my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in September, so the fight goes on. Everything is looking good though. So here's to a good one for us all and our families. 👍

    Yes happy new year to you all hope its a good one. 

    I popped the question this morning, and my wife from del monte she said yes

    Now I am frantically scrambling round defrosting bait and charging stuff up, for a cheeky overnight one, it's going to be a slight race against the darkness but will be so nice to be out again I can't wait, woooooooooooohoooooooo

    Nice one mate, a cracking start to the new year, good luck I hope you start the new year with a chunky one.😁👍🎣

    Hello

     

    just been having a quick look online for a stink bag/carry bag for my Pro logic retention sling. I'm not brand loyal or a brand snob but I can't seem to find such a thing. I'd just rather not stick it in the car at the end of the session wet through.

     

    Any suggestions welcome

     thanks Paul

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Here you go mate I got 1 of these in the summer excellent bit of kit, I can fit my landing net and pole plus my retention sling, I think they can hold 2 slings if need be.😁👍Screenshot_20210905-222736_Chrome.thumb.jpg.4ebbbe046dcc839554ca9aaa2a388aee.jpg

  9. Spodding

    I think we've had this Topic before, but as of New Year, I will be starting to be Spodding. 

    I recently purchased the Sonik Spod & Marker Rod with the Spod Reel (NO Braid). 

    What is a decent braid and leader setup? I was looking at the actual Spomb Braid 20lb and Leader 50lb. 

    A decent Spod /Spomb? The actual Spomb? 

    When would be a good time spodding.... Also seen a decent stretch on a Canal to Spod? 

    I thought you'd tried spodding before and didn't get on with it. What's changed your mind?👍

    Back from my Friday Night out, Biggest one was 19lb,  but all  pretty in there own way,especially the apple slice oddun , top one was another quick bite, within 20 minutes 1st cast with a bag, I am starting to see the appeal of minimal disturbance at the start of a session its been working pretty well lately :)

    Well in Elmo... My 48hrs was up n down... 

    I had 3 carp, nothing massive, 2 bream, 1 was about 5lb.

    Lost 2 at net, hook pulls, and got 2 clean break offs from a hidden snag. 

    So I think pegs 30/31 on the club lake need Investigating further. 

     

    Hi Paul .

    I was on peg 30 about three weeks ago and I got cut off just the once but I did keep getting snaged up aswell. At one point I had to strip a load of line off my right hand rod, it was that badly rayed up.Last time I went on I got talking to an old chap and he was telling me that he fishes peg 30 so I told him about the problems I was having the week before there. He told me peg 30 is were the under water wall is  that I keep hearing so much about is, he said as you stand facing the water the wall  runs straight out from peg 30 and across the lake on the right hand side of the swim he said you need to cast your right hand rod straight out, if you cast  slightly right your on the wall or over it, which makes sense to me with what happening to me and now you were suffering the same if not worse. I have now got 20lb line on my spare spools just incase it's needed. 👍
