Their thin, do the grooves help a lot ?

I thought the same looks like Ferraro Rocher chocolates 🤔 Must be a buzz when you catch off your homemade baits 👍

Most probably the price, which is the reason we opted for the S7 . We all chipped in and got a 100 kg bulk deal I had 3 buckets on the go with 3 kilo in each soaking with the Sticky Krill, put a bucket out every lunchtime ( which was hard going on the stomach muscles ouch ) Hook baits were the S7 and Sticky’s Krill, had fish on both

Stunning fish 👍

Yup sure did it was so mild I didn’t have to use the heating element in my bag The carp are on the move now, birds are nesting, trees and bushes are in bud. Enjoyed watching a pair of Cormorants and Grebes showing me had to catch fish 🙄

I took 20k of S7 for a France trip and done well as did my mates, also gave a old French guy who was fishing some and he had fish on it… he was so happy I had a bottle of home made wine off him.

Alas a blank for me, could have stayed another 24 hours but was packed up and away by 8am as rain was forecast for 12 I fished well no dramas, highlight of the trip was watching a mid 20 swim lazily under by rod tips 🙄

Lovely looking fish particularly the long Mirror 👍

Best of luck boys 👍

Go on..why not, just take the 1 rod a mat and net small bag, no need for a chair you can use the mat to sit on… but that’s going to get wet when you get a biggie tho 🤔

Thanks, don’t think I could have managed without the new Tempest packs down so small an lightweight…best of luck to you if you manage to get out 🤞

Over the dock today got to make more use of my ticket than I did last year,the last trip got cancelled 🙄 Defo got 24 hrs maybe more Here’s a pic of my new sort of barrow..

Hi mate, get comfy a chair beside your pod would help, get all that bait and your drink in the pic and any food near the chair so there’s no need to walk away from your rods to get anything your close when you get the run, your on it straight away, some line can be stretchy also rods can be floppy which would give the carp a head start on getting in the snags. If your line is up to it thumb on the spool and rod high, very exciting fishing. You got to stay within arms distance of the rods all the time tho Best of luck 👍

@ Highy that’s a tuff schedule mate 😳 Iv had to work the weekend and late a couple of nights mid week to finish a job so it’s all systems go for an early tomorrow start got 24hrs but could go to a 48hr. If I can’t find the fish Iv got a backup plan… Been putting a bit of bait in two swims and when I couldn’t got a customer Iv done work for to do it when they walk their dog. You could say they live close to the water.

Happy birthday Elmo… It’s seems when ever you take the kids out you happen to come across a tackle shop was this a coincidence or a very cunning plan 🤔

Clacking looking fish 👍

Iv always used the esp ones but sooner or later they snap, maybe that’s why they sell them in packs of 3 🤔 iv used the Wychwood splicing needle lately and find it a bit more robust than the esp, thicker in the wire but it work’s better for it.

Suntan lotion….don’t forget yours. 1st outdoor painting job of the year today and the sun caught me out with no lotion 🥵

I was fishing a club sea competition that went through the night till the following midday, was a lovely warm summers evening night with a slight onshore breeze no clouds almost a full moon. I looked up and saw a shooting star told my mate and he said to make a wish, I want a bass I shouted over…5 minutes later I seen another shooting star told my mate, go on then best make a wish then he said , I would like the Bass to be a double with my fingers crossed… just as the sun was almost rising I had my wish come true.

It happens mate gutted for you, I had the 3 trips and only really came good on the third trip.

Oops my mistake I got the lakes mixed up 🤔

Here’s a taste for you lads, apologies for the music

Elmo setting up in the dark is not easy and I take my hat off to you, them sessions are well gone for me you deserve a good result 🤞

Always worth having a waddle in the shop, maybe put your reel on the rod to. iv even got the owner of the tackle shop to tie a 2oz weight on the top ring to see the action of the rod, which funnily enough was a Shimano Stradic feeder rod. Alan Scotthorne was with Shimano then so going back a bit.

What was the reason your mate gave for not getting a Shimano rod ?
