Iv had a run in with a deliver bike he must have been going 20mph he skidded to a stop and we both went down, sadly I lost my balance as I got up and stood on his front wheel damaging the spokes then would you believe it trying to untangle my foot I stepped on the back wheel 🫢

That’s sad losing a fishing buddy, I’m way to far away to you best of luck finding someone 👍

Nice, I found I was foot tapping, got anymore ?

I’ve got the shallow as well as the deep spools. Just weighed the both and the deep comes in with line at 7oz and the shallow with line 5oz… I was a bit bored 😁

On a great run there mate 👍

I can’t remember the last time I caught a Eel, il be well happy with a 2lb on a feeder rod but defo not on a carp rod

Mmm nice 😎

Well done lads on the June captures 👍

How times change, looked in the freezer this evening and noted that I got more sea bait than carp bait 3k ish of cell and 2 k of sticky krill 2 packs of Squid, 6 Mackerel, 2 packs of Sand Eels and best of all a dozen crabs

I feel your pain Are there 200 carp in the lake ? where did the info come from, are other anglers catching if they are tell them your struggling and would appreciate any info. The reason I ask about the 200 fish is a mate fishing a water last year found it more difficult than usual then found out recently that there had been a fish kill which he didn’t have a clue about. Warm weather is here and il be on the zigs 👍

That tree would make me a bit nervy

Indeed I am, nice reels solid with a good line lay 👍 Today Iv had them returned to me I lent them out to a mates kids they had them for around a month to try out carp fishing the one lad is keen and looks like he’s going to give it a go the other is defo not. Been awhile since I got all them all together so I thought a family pic was in order, all Okuma

Looks a belter 👍

Wow that got ugly quickly.

You can’t go wrong for that price 👍

Now I’m confused here ( I know it doesn’t take a lot ) iv got a set of set of Korum 10 ft all rounders in 2 .25 and a set of Dave Lane Classic in 12 ft 3.lb with a 3.25 that I use for marking and Spoding ..umm oh yeah 🤔 A set of 12 ft 3.50 Prologic Fulcrum … and not forgetting the very naughty set of ESP onyx Quickdraw 10 ft 3.50 The reason for purchasing the ESP set was I needed to get my gear down to a minimum and they pack down to 50 inches, the 3.50 because I was using bags as I thought I couldn’t complete with the bait that was going in the water I was fishing and the thinking a bag approach would be the best option Soooo am I a fashionable or unfashionable angler? 🤔 Or just got to much gear 🫢

There you going again spoiling them 🙄 Nice reels 😎

I had one for a couple of years and it got the job done 👍

You both could have a practice casting if there’s a field or park land near, good fun for a hour 👍

I was thinking the same. My choice of weapon in the 80’s was a Daiwa Paul Kerry 12 ft quite tippy teamed it with an Abu 7000c with the level wind removed Lee Kerry who is an England international match angler is his son

Sounds like you had a perfect weekend mate, well done on the fish 👍… Can’t lie the matrix glitch on the second pic freaked me out a bit

I had the same thought on the weekend, been sea fishing lately 4-5 hr trips with no cover been looking at mountain warehouse clothing with uv protection very reasonable prices

You’re spoiling them reels 🙄

Penn Tidal 13.7 feet £110, paired it up with my Okuma 8k reel but with a different spool of line
