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

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 ?
