Simple answer is both to your question mate.. Are you saying you’re hoping to spod to get them used to the cloud mix ? and pre bait at the same time 🤔

Nash used to do a big band called a bait bomb you’ll get a big lump of bread in that.

Sadly Iv haven’t the chance to, it’s out of print and going for £50 on eBay and that’s damaged. 🙄

All hale the great Oz, I enjoy his articles. 👍 If you haven’t noticed, and apologies if you have, there’s a extra small hole on the kicker that’s where I thread 4lb line to tie maggots to…In the past using maggots I’m covered them in a watered down solution of pineapple goo they take on the liquid inside and out…not sure it helps but it was different 🤔

I was always a bit heavy handed or is it heavy fingered? with the green tool no wonder the manufacture give us 3 in the pack. Warming the kickers makes them slide over the tool easier. I use the thinking anglers zig gear 👍

I use this instead of the green tool

Nice fish and pic, congrats on the pb ..looks a female 👍

Any chance you could show us a pic with the inner items on show ?….pretty please. I had a look online at the Korda PVA bucket looks a great bit of kit …. but the price frightened me…£40 ish

Put the gas bottle between your legs in the sleeping bag your body heat will help …looks 🥶 in your pic

It’s almost like your boat fishing 😂 ..take care 👍

Adjustable zigs for me into the centre area of the lake. I set the alarm on my phone and adjust the zigs every hour, work the depths of water if no luck cast all rods to a different area starting over again. If you want to use a bottom bait I personally prefer maggots at this time of the year.

No mud that’s a result in its self. Great pic and best of luck…just don’t trip 😉

I’m with Elmo , and you can get the 8k for around £80

Came across this on flea bay

Have you a favourite you use for fishing ? Mine is a citizen eco drive just need it to get a couple of hours sunlight for it to run for months, waterproof, titanium crown and bracelet and best of all a Sapphire face. Had it 4 years ish and wear it in work while fishing and out and about. Highly recommended 👍

Reading this has made me angry and sad, can’t imagine how you feel. As emmcee says an email or letter to the committee, hopefully they got one that is.

Birds can be a right pain, they got nice breasts granted, they even let you take pictures of them and then they just stomp all over your tackle …my tip was bouncing all over the place, can’t lie it can be frustrating

On the subject of Pike. I had a trip out yesterday for a couple of hours and two young friends in their young teens came past and asked if I had anything and if it was ok to set up in the corner way over to my left. I replied had nothing and yes, it’s okay to fish in the corner and thanked them for asking. One had a run and hooked a jack Pike about 4-5 lb on a pineapple pop up 😳 I shouted over well done lads and one asked if I could take a pic. The both was so excited I took the pic of them holding the fish and they returned it on the mat. .. then as they watched it go they turned to each other and hugged it was lovely to see, a very uplifting moment.

They look proper as my grandson would say 👍

I can’t go down the road of Merino socks, my feet would rip them apart, picture the bark of a very old oak tree 🤔 that’s what the soles of my feet look like. Just a bit lazy looking after them I get the black and decker sander out now and then when they get really bad.

Merry Xmas lads and ladies and a healthy New Year

It’s all them vids he’s posting 😂

I bet anglers use that spot light as a marker 🤔

Looks good with the wind pushing your way…warm wind ? And the guy opposite you with the big bivvy thats defo OTT 😉 Best of luck 🤞

Had to get a decent pair of boots, got them in the go outer door shop. My mate has had a pair for awhile he’s done 300 miles over 4 months in all weathers and trails and recommended them, very light with no breaking in and comfortable. Black Friday £99…gone up to £125 Got a set of Merino wool base layers top and bottoms can’t speak highly enough of them, mountain warehouse had them in a sale both for £60 You can get them cheaper but go for a high percentage of Merino which cost more.
