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 ?

Hi, here’s one on eBay it’s up for auction if it don’t sell make a offer on just the overwrap, just make sure the one you need is a one man overwrap as is in the auction Good luck in your search 🤞

Update..Iv used about a third of a bottle on the baits just dripping a drop on each bait when their dry every 2-3 days and giving the tub a shake I thought it best to see if they pop up and for how long so put a 15mm on a rig and dropped it in the bathroom basin 14 hrs later it was still popped up and the basin is a lovely greenish yellowish colour. 😏

Iv just got over a bug that’s going around my way took almost 4 wks to get over it, aches and pains, sneezing, runny nose, headaches, fever, and a cough that just wouldn’t go away… and the stuff I was coughing up 🤢 …thought it was Covid but wasn’t. Maybe a barrow with a motor would help with your back Elmo

Nash do a child sleep system with a 4 season bag maybe best to get the measurements 1st around £140

Iv always been lucky but on one of the trips over we had a 3 van convoy and the middle van got pulled but they never looked in the sack of halibut pellets, not that there was anything to find of course. 😇 Hows the forecast looking for your trip ?

Two packs.. cases? of size 10 kaptor hooks, put a size 4 in for a comparison £4.50

I fished a popular day ticket carp water that had stocked catfish and I was shocked with the ferocity of them feeding on the sliver fish and no doubt small carp. Got woken up in the dark hours over the two nights by some nice carp and a couple of cats and as I was playing them most of the lake was in turmoil with the cats on the rampage. If you believe in Karma you defo do not want to come back as a sliver fish in a lake stocked with cats. 😳

A little dusting but not to bad, raining now.
