That can be draining for the carer and the patient, reading my kindle on the phone helped a lot…. Hope it goes well for you both. 👍

It seems it’s down to me ask what everyone is thinking… whats made you fall out with Sonik then ? 😉

I thought it was a air dry your baits at work day

You ever try a controller or a zig ?

What depth of water you got in front of you ?

I also think it’s down to the lake your fishing at Linear as we all know Hemp and sweetcorn is the base mix with some boilie but I took a sack of hemp and maze to a lake in France along with boilies after hearing the crazy amount of particle they put in but then saw the amount of silverfish they were catching I thought that’s a no no… I didn’t get one Bream just all Carp and just fed the boilies.

Set fire to it and boil yer kettle.. who needs a gas bottle

Gutted for you and seeing the fish 😞… I thought you broke the rod.

Highy mate you should have flashing warning lights on top of your bivvy for low flying aircraft you could be liable for accident. 😳

Best of luck @ Highy and Elmo 🤞

How bad was it 😳

On the trips to France I would soak the hemp and maize and cook on the bank, used a cheap cooker the ones that use a long gas canister one very big saucepan used one canister done all the cooking under a old brolly Physically I found it hard to spod a load of particles on a daily basis I don’t envy you especially if the wind blows a bit. Be great if you can keep us informed how you get on maybe with some pics 👍

What happens if theirs somebody in your swim when you turn up to fish, or can you reserve what swim you want ?

I tried a Fox tapered mainline and found my distance suffered I had to use a heavier lead to combat the thickness of the leader ended up cutting back the leader and it helped. I now use Fox soft steel 35 mm which got a stated breaking strain of 18lb and happy with it 👍

Just 5 mins more 🤔

Got them feeding

Two more 24lb and the other was a low double great scale patterns and in mint condition. Got all 3 rods on zigs. Apologies for the dreadful pics 😔

Finally had a low 20 had it on an adjustable zig just under the surface in 11 ft of water… can’t lie was a bit shaky iv had carp double the size on other waters but the 1st 20 on the dock … happy days

Iv been soaking some air dried baits there about 14 mm now popped one and a chop in a glass of water just to time them been 2 hrs and they’re still firmish Hopefully the silver fish will have trouble with them and give the Carp a chance to find the baits. …@ Elmo you would have nightmares with the shoals of silvers on the dock 🤪

Back on the dock early tomorrow morning for a minimum 24 hrs suntan lotion is packed, was planned for the weekend which has a rainy forecast again 🙄 the customer I’m working for told me to go fishing mid wk and finish the job on the weekend… he’s a fellow fisherman.

Nice line lay…and lovely reels 😎

What was the kids reaction to the creature ?

I swear I felt a twinge in my back looking at the rod bag 😉

Not a purchase as such but a gift one on them mummy style sleeping bags two season incredibly lightweight, as Iv been stripping down my gear to the basics I thought I’d give it a go. Got in the bag, a fetching blue and gold colour plenty of room…these mummies must be on the big size me thinks. Well after a hour in the mummy oh err, it was doing my head in I was almost sliding off the bed when I turned over, one minute the zip was up my crack the nx across my face, at one point in the early hours I was thinking of strapping myself in with a bungee…. Not recommended.

Wow 😳 you can walk across that…after you raked it leave a note saying that you going to fish it. Iv seen a note in a plastic bag attached to a stick saying the angler was going to fish the swim the nx day this was in the days of the closed season I walked right past even tho it looked a nice swim and obviously been feeding it ready for the opening day of the season.
