Didn’t Dave Lane use a type of sling, it took two men to use it to get baits out where baits had never gone before i think I read it in one of his earlier books 🤔

I can recommend the okuma 6000 inc great line lay, nice size spool, good drag and around £60 got a 5year warranty. I use them with esp 10 rods

The reels are going to be quite old mate so you’ll be taking a chance with them … can you sell your cross casts ?

Got my set off the eBay about the same price as yours used them for around 5 years then sold to my mate who uses them regularly, I had no trouble with them 👍

It’s crazy how they keep their prices…I use a set of 3 for years really abuse them on horseshoe dragging lots of weed in. If you can have a play with them give them a spin check the spools got no nicks on them …talking of spools I should have a spool or two handy if you get the reels.

How much are they going for ?

I suppose it’s a bit late to dig a well 🤔

How come so far away from yer rods 🤔

Narr don’t like the set up… way to tidy for me 😉 il take a pic nx time of the inside of me den gets petty messy. Best of luck 🤞

How far are anglers prepared to go in pursuit of a carp ??… Send a drone up to spot the carp locate them then send the bait boat out with a rig all the while looking at your phone or tablet at the fish then when the boat draws near just drop the rig If I seen that going on at a lake I was fishing Il have to pack away and wouldn’t go back.

Best of luck…here’s some viewing to give you nightmares..

No fish this time but enjoyed the trip…. Had to sleep in one of them mummy style bags again as forgotten my bag the brother inlaw came to the rescue and brought some pegs for the den forgot them too.

Forgot me pegs …. and err the sleeping bag 😏 but the cavalry is on its way 🤞 If you would like to invest, or anyone else for that matter in the company you can get a one off never to repeated offer of £1,000 for 50% of the company.

Well I got to say they work a treat and if I might add very cheap too whats not to like 👍

I’m trying 2 of them now a bit of flapping about but they do the job nicely… il take some pics for you Highly 😂 got to have a bite to eat first

Wow Highly that’s stressful times mate for you and your good Mrs. Got to totally agree with Elmo he put it very well. Keep us posted on developments 👍

On the subject of braid I use Berkeley whiplash in 0.8mm = 28lb straight through green in colour which fades over time it’s got a round profile which back in the day it never did have never used a shock leader with braid. Always wetted the line and reeled in with the tip sunk underwater if I was able.

Can I catch one tomorrow instead ? I won’t be catching it tonight for sure. Got all the gear ready and forgot got to be somewhere 🙄… so a very early morning start tomorrow

Yup that’s a shopping list alright… for me it’s got to be Korda Kranks , il blitz some of the Krill I got with some hemp in the blender add a good glug of cloudy kill with handful of dried skimmed milk with porridge oats. Il mix it on the bank if the carp are showing themselves 🤞

Back over the dock this evening maybe for two nights 🤞

Tub of 16mm sticky bloodworm pop ups Gas canister , Krank barbless size 8 for the zigs tho I have used a 10 before. Sandisk 32gb card for the camera the last one overheated it was over 30 tbf 🥵

This must be the 1st time I bought shelve life 🤔

Maybe the post should read My personal best memory’s The Bass at a club record 12lb fishing into a big surf at dawn Two Cod at 8lb and 9lb from the beach in the dark with no headlamp..I always wanted a double 😞 The big Common from Oxlease, sadly no longer with us had the fish by fishing the opposite of what everyone else was doing Watching family, friends, and complete strangers catching their 1st fish while using my rod The three 2lb plus Roach on a feeder Finally and finally when it all came good on a French lake A bag full of Mackerel and feeding the campsite with them And recently a couple of low 20’s from my syndicate So many good times and adventures with friends some who have sadly passed away 50 + years of fishing with many memories the above is just a snippet of them … I do hope for many more 🤞

Go out the doors, 5k of sticky’s Krill £34 they got a extra 15% off at the mo

Theirs a lot of them about
