    For the members who are not aware of this tip ( hope it’s allowed Mods )

    When your looking at a item you got a interest in hit the ‘watch this item’ button it’s under the Add to basket. Some times you will get a message back from the seller offering you a discount

    Well is this going to be the day, I'm excited, nervous, tense, worried that the spot I've been baiting for a month will be taken when I get there, I can but try and pray it is free , it feels ready and I need to be there, bait is prepped, done some fresh rigs, charged everything, I will be getting there as soon as I can, praying those fish that visited the other day are keen for another feed, I feel a bit like braveheart ready for battle 😁

    Now I've just got to get there, littlun has a stay and play at school then I'm hoping to sneak out this afternoon, this is what it is all about the buzz, the anticipation, I blooming love it 😍

     

    Good luck elmo and enjoy that's what it's all about. 😁👍

    Happy hunting mate. 

    My babysitters (daughters) stayed last night, the grandson was singing away until midnight and started again at 5🙄

    Hopefully get set up by 4-5, might have a wander about with my stalking kit, can't beat crusty loaf off the top.

    Not quite the early start I had planned, was way too hot last night, slept so badly, just couldn't settle and I was knackered, had a couple of teas and fed the kids, got my kit out, just got to load it and get sorted, then wake the misses up and go aiming for a 9am arrival now, she will be happier with a small lie in though, 👍😁

    I've got my Barrow and I'm ready to roam for a bit, probably until the handle finally snaps at least 😁

    Good luck boys hope you get a pull on your line.😁👍🎣

    @finchey, you will defo get more distance as its lighter so quicker on the throw, I just hope it's long enough buddy.

    Elmo found the size, that is definitely longer than my Gardner scorpion one I use at the moment and from what I have seen on YouTube they are better for the distance I’m after.

    Well I did a bit of searching on this forum and another one that I go on and was reading about the more budget carbon throwing sticks and ngt came up quite a lot. So I went on google didn’t find a lot of reviews but I couldn’t find a bad one. So I completely ignored what yonny told me and bought a ngt, sorry yonny 😀 But if it breaks first time out it’s my own fault mate. 🙂👍

    Hi guys I've joined a new water which is very clicky it seems to be the way today to try intimidate new anglers, they act like it's there water

     

    I joined a new club in January of this year and the first time I went for a walk around the place I got a very similar reception as you, it was more trying to put me of fishing this one particular lake and pointing me In other directions of other waters on the ticket. I felt like you kiss my backside and I’ll do my own thing, but I put a similar post on here and was told a lot of places are the same. So I just went fishing kept myself to myself and they came chatting to me. They have a  totally different attitude now and when I went o Sunday we were just chatting like nothing had happened. Just give it time mate it will all work out.👍

    I've only actually slept inside it once so far, rest of time is just on top of it in my trakkie. 

    I got inside mine for a couple of hours on Sunday because I was fishing my lo pro open fronted and it got a bit nippy in the early hours.🙂👍

    Best 5 season bag I've had.. 

    I’ve got to agree with highy on this one. It is the best I’ve had but it is also the only one I’ve had and it was free I won it along with the bed and pillow. I find them all excellent really comfortable bed and pillow and the sleeping bag is nice and warm. I’ve not done a winter night but I’ve done one in March and I was plenty warm enough with t shirt and   Cargo pants on.

    Certainly a bargain but for me they're not long enough (you really need close to or more than a metre long for proper distance imo). A curved stick also helps, to get that top spin

    I think that is the problem with the scorpion stick I have at the moment it is too short. I'll have a look at your recommendation's cheers. 👍
