A bit late with the reply apologies for that…. try Peterstone fishing lakes in Cardiff 👍

Got a pair to fit over my prescription glasses from Boots last summer £20ish comfy enough not the best polarised but ok for the price..

Some big names he’s got there 😳

Have you got bait runners. ?

I can remember using a board back in the day when the wind got up out came the Shakespeare wand…happy days

As above, and for me is the weight saving I’m trying to use the bike more often ..

I use all sorts and if I known what the banks are like, concrete used the pod and dirt or gravel take bits off my trusty fox pod…The front buzz bar and sicks are from the pod, I like the bigger diameter of sticks as they grip in the bank better the back bar is a old Cygnet and the rear stick is a fox black label the original ones which are pretty useless I use a stabiliser with it …

Thanks for posting good read and pics with a pb 👍

After the morning kip I would grab the spinner gear and go for wander around the other lakes, stop to chat with other anglers from across Europe ..used to get back to my swim a bit tipsy many a time 🍷

Iv always wanted to give a swim a rest with no lines in the water but fishing 48hr trips on day tickets I just couldn’t bring myself to do it…. But on a French trip I had 3 good fish on the 1st night but no bites in daylight, what a great relief that was to get a fish on the 1st day. The second day was a carbon copy of the 1st day so decided for the rest of the week I would pull the rods in at dawn bait up then have a morning kip, then fish it at sunset I kept the fish coming all week, and luckily had the most fish…Do I think no lines in the water helped , I’m not sure but i know it didn’t do any harm.

Brilliant 👏

Sadly no fish for me and in hindsight I should’ve moved down the other end of the dock when the wind shifted but gave it another hour in the swim I was in, the swim had done 2 fish two days ago and looked good with a light breeze blowing into it, when I decided to have a proper look down the other end 2 lads were setting up so it was a no no…. And to cap it off when I packed up and rode past they were about to take pics of a carp… lesson learnt 🙄

Aww sounds like a good evening you all had… defo the whip is the best way 👍

Got one !!! It hovered about the rim of the net for ages then just flew into the net 😳

Iv clacked it. Iv solved the old age conundrum of how to dunk your digestive biscuit in a empty pva tube filled with coffee because you forget your mug …

I was thinking of bringing a feeder rod for the Roach it’s a untapped water no one goes for them…. A 3lb Roach Mmmm. Good luck for later 👍

Up silly o’clock again for a almost dawn start. Looked lovely with the blue sky then the fog came in now that’s burning off blue sky again

Try Trakker or just Google it

Nice write up and fish…But I’m very surprised that you’re pic got past the mods 😉

I admire your loyalty to the Sonik brand Highy… but that’s a hell of a lot of faults 😳

It was almost new bivvy time….but apparently it’s a bank holiday today and the tackle shop was closed 😏

Here’s a hack to get your dogs dry after a fishing session….

I’m on the lookout for a lightweight shelter, my local angling shop has kindly ordered a Trakker Tempest 100 to see if it’s ok for my needs, got to have a small pack down size ideally fit in a quiver. Any recommendations Gents ?

You’ll be surprised how much little gear you need to take. In the pic iv got a fox pop up mat, weigh sling, net with a 2 piece handle, umbrella, 3 ESP QuickDraw rods 10ft 3.5lb breaks down to just over 4ft, one of them doubles up as a spod rod, and reels, alarms , sticks, food and flask …. Apologies to any gear I haven’t mentioned…you just got to find room for the bike 🤔 Almost forgot to mention the chair
