You could leave a comment asking on Fishing With Den latest vid on YouTube he’s a ex pat helpful guy And a warm welcome to the forum 👍

This guy is fair on his reviews good or bad.

A bit out of my price range 😔 the 3000 would suit me for feeder and controller work Which one you after ?

It’s looking good all nx as well mostly a south or westerly wind but alas I’ve got work booked in 😔

I agree with crusian keep us posted how you get on jh…. Fishing with Ken has a YouTube channel and uses a printer to make feeders and bits and bobs could be helpful for you.

The brother inlaw and I have got a gentleman’s agreement, I always get him a £20 gift voucher from game, he’s into his playstation and he gets me a £20 gift voucher from my local tackle shop win win. ..I seem to recall when he came over this Crimbo for a drink and we had a few 🥃🥃🥃 we had a chat about how you don’t get as much for your money these days, so decided that it’s only fair that we up it to a £30 gift voucher. 🤔

Well the Crimbo list just got a tad longer, A customer of over 20 years got in touch today wanted to give me a Xmas card in person and to thank me for helping him move house earlier in the year. I opened the card later on today and there was a cheque for £40 nice I thought and then I thought had they done away with cheques awhile ago 🤔 I showed the grandson as he’d never seen one and he said what you going to spend the £400 on …maybe new glasses 🤓 I wonder if the tackle shop is open tomorrow 🤔

Wow 100 litre how did you manage to carry that lot ?.. I felt a twinge just typing 100 ltr 😉 I’m after a 40 ltr tops

In my younger days I used to nick the neighbours bamboo canes he used for his runner beans Il tie elastic bands around the tops to hold them together for a rod stand worked a treat, a day after a late night commando raid to get some canes for my mate there was a knock on the door it was the neighbour 😳 here you go and gives me a bunch of canes and says I thought if I get you some canes il have a crop of beans to look forward to.

Need a rucksack badly, the one I’m using at the mo is getting to look like a landing net 😏

I follow the fish locker too he’s a knowledgeable angler, the two huge Tuna he had a couple of years ago on his 16ft boat while fishing for porbeagle was great to watch 👍

I used to fish for smoothies with a bass rod, baited with peeler crab rotten bottom to an old spark plug or bolt which snapped most of the time great fun, the rod must have been made of fibreglass showing my age there 😄

It do look bleak, but looks stunning 👍

Hope you get out soon Buzz, post some pics be great to see them 👍

How do you stay warm ? and do you use one to them huts on skis ?

Is that cheating 🤔

On my last winter carp trip to Linear I done my usual lap of the lake with a spinning set up and to have a chat with my fellow sufferers 😏 , you get more info with a spinning rod in toe and Iv noticed that a lot of the lads are teenagers and most of the time common sense goes out the window in that age group. Every time one of the big tackle manufacturers puts up a winter video they should issue a warning about bivvy heaters it’ll take just 2mins some of the sponsored anglers have a a big following and coming from them they might take the info on board 🤞… A warning on gas bottles would help. 🤔

BBQ’s can be deadly.. I recall a tragedy of a young family camping on a camp site they had finished eating in the evening and it started to rain the father brought in the bbq inside as it was new and most of the heat had gone they got a early night and sadly the mother and two kids didn’t wake Happened years ago but I’m still shocked recounting it.

When your up in the early hours its dark or any time really and it’s cold, windy, wet and you reel in hopefully with a fish 🤞 I do not want to be fumbling about with cold fingers in a damp bivvy making bags mate. I want to use the sticks loop a bag on and hopefully hit the clip 1st time if not wind back in and repeat … and their was a couple of repeats on my last trip 😔 then you got the bird life that could wipe out your best laid plans…. But I enjoy it all 😂

That’s so funny 😂 I tried the Korda bag stems but found them to rigid for my liking, I also use the tidy stem’s their a bit more pliable and fox leads as you do. 👍 Il tie a rig up later and see it 1st hand.

Well i reckon I must say that’s a lovely background to the pic The knot looks bigger any problems with that ? and if I can be picky the loop when it’s open like in the pic could any debris catch in it ? but saying that I use a loop in my mainline to pass it over the leader or am I’m just over thinking it 🤔

When I make my bags up with the lead free i wrap the the soft leader around the bag makes a tidy bundle then lay them out in a sandwich Tupperware box with a small amount of ground bait in the bottom … just got to be careful you don’t take a bite out of one 🤔 iv never thought to have a big loop in the lead free leader let us know how it goes 👍

That was a interesting post 👍 The first bag of bait i bought was frozen Richworths tutti, awww what a smell we used it on carp societies horseshoe and had some fish on it Mainlines Cell changed my results every one was using it on Linear god knows how much they sold of it.

Have a look at these .

I missed this post Wow what an exciting time for you hope the sun shines on you project. I have a shovel an pick and willing to travel if the digger plays up. I followed a blog on the YouTube of a angler digging his lake and the stocking of the carp https://youtube.com/@SouthWestCarpHunter
