Same as me il be lost without my phone, I had a pic of the big Common in Oxlease for years would always have a look at her till I had her out. For the last 10 years or so every swim Iv fished the distances to hard spots, gavel weed beds and the fish Iv had also weather conditions bait i us and what other anglers around me were doing Iv recorded. I fish day ticket waters the linear complex a favourite. The carp Society’s horseshoe lake beat me up a bit tho 🙄 .... but one thing I never do is give up. The trip is not over till you pull the last rod in, and then you can still ask other anglers how they got on. When I fish with the lads and they ask what my tactics are I say to catch a fish Lol.

Nice one Highy made up for you 👍

Fish it in the winter hopefully the weed would have died down by then less anglers to.

Don’t forget the seasick tablets.... and flares 😉

I still miss my spaniel Tina from 40 odd years ago. Thought this pic would put a smile on your face

Try pulling your hook length through a small pva bag of stick mix it would protect your hook when you pull and give you time to straighten the rig. Sounds like it’s a shallow water ? Feather the line before the rig hits the water which would help with the plunging of the lead weight. Good luck 👍

The 3.25 is my marker and spod rod the other 3 are my carp rods. I also take a feeder rod and a small 6 ft spinner rod. .... you just don’t know when your going to need a particular rod

I did mark the tips but after 15+ years of heavy use they kinda faded

I tried to buy this guy but it wasn’t going to happen

When cleaning my 4 cork handles i put the tips to one side and forgot one of them is a 3/25 tip the other 3 are 3lb looking at the tips I can’t tell them apart 🙄without going to the expense of buying a micrometer gauge any other ideas. ?

Good luck Emo 🤞

The Taff is low in the city stretch

This is what I use

I got the BP4 and BP6 and use the 4 for feeder work, I would go for the 6 they were selling for silly money at the time had the BP4 for £13 and could have got it cheaper if I got two.

Very rare I use pop ups. I can’t remember if Iv had a fish on a pop up that is just using a pop up on a bottom rig. I use sticky baits small pop ups on a snowman rig in white yellow and pink , but had fish using trimmed down pop ups on a zig rig tho ....if that makes any sense

I gave it a chance in the summer but had a bream on it so that was the end of that. Didn’t try it in the winter being a oily greasy bait.

As mat shots go that’s a good un 👍

I went for the Tesco dab for £20 and a hand held portable Azaton for work £33 perfect for when I’m on the move. Appreciate the input 👍

Hi Ak do you take it fishing ?

Well spotted Elmo, so I need one with a speaker

Just looked at a Roberts sports Dab comes with headphones small could fit in my overalls pocket £59 🤔

Il have a look on there and amazon at the reviews.

Listening to 3 days of cricket would eat into my data. 😞

Recommendations please, under £50, portable and easy on the battery life. Need it for the sport coverage.
