With the hot condition's on my last trip 32° degrees in tbe bivvy, i think Iv came up with a money spinner idea, just got to sell it to Trakker or any of the other lot .. obviously dont want to give to much info out but the idea is based on a triple layer bivvy. Here’s a pic of a prototype.

A PB and one off the bucket list with a 12lb 12oz Bream and it was a a privilege to see one finally, had it on the carp gear which was a pity. Linear has been good to me over the years with the 3 Roach over 2lb in a mad 30mins spell,, Common Carp 46lb and now the Bream.

Not sure I should admit it but I do see them

It’s been a while since I boiled up Hemp and Iv missed the lovely smell…it’s weird but I’m getting excited it’s the same feeling I had when using Richworth tutti-frutti and then Cell.

Just checked on my hemp that’s been soaking for 30 hrs and it’s spitting… been stored in a airtight bucket for over 2years, forgot I had any 🙄

You got a good uncle there 👍

You look like the saint. 🤔 surprised you got a big halo Elmo must have cursed a bit when you fell on your tackle, any luck replacing it ?

Sounds like a plan 👍 You could also swap over to a floater bait if the sinking bait isn’t working

Received the two floating feeders from flea bay today…the floating pellet's are Sticky baits in 11mm and 6mm that’s what I can get inside the bigger feeder still allowing to plug it with ground bait

I wanted the sticks with a screw point my local didn’t have any. The reel is a Garbolino, 5000 size comes with a spare spool is smooth and has a nice line lay. Got that from my local I had 6 reels on the counter giving them all a spin this felt the best they check and match the best price on the interwebb And the tempest gear came from the local.

The sonu bait is east to mix I add the plain crumb to bulk it out 👍

Sorry mate haven’t a Scooby Doo about the above…. are you thinking about starting fishing again ?

How do you mean ?

Been helping out my local tackle shop with their bank balance, because I’m nice 😇 Trakker tempest skull cap and groundsheet with Advanta storm poles Bait and a reel to replace an old Nash Dwarf BP 6 which has sadly bit the dust.

Had a afternoon session on a general fishery with my mate, he picked me up from work and sort of kidnapped me 😇 I used his gear fishing off the top with floaters but they wasn’t interested one bit ..orrr so I thought 🤔 I found a floating feeder in his bag and mixed up some ground bait on the dry ish side, a small pebble inserted to give it a bit more weight and plugged off with the ground bait with a 12” hook length … and had 5 carp on the trot 😳 Heres a pic of his feeder or his mrs feeder …looks like he got it from a Ann Summers catalogue Korum got a small floating feeder I might give it a go when I’m at linear at the end of the month

I’m way to far away to help out, best of luck in your search. 👍

Hope it went well Nick …you do seem to be having a bad run of it.

Taking one for the team… what a guy 😏

I got one of the above but it’s got the Nash name. It helps by back no end and is so light weight, If I want to sit outside the bivvy I lay it on the unhooking mat 👍

Is it me but are the 3 rod bars a lot thinner than the 2 ….i do like um tho

I could never get on with drinking I tried but it didn’t agree with me, I’m had a hangover with a pint of shandy 🙄 … but in the last 10 years I discovered Rum 🥃 Don’t get a hangover must be the cola I have with it and the two paracetamol I take before bed 😂

How bad is the rod ? I snapped the top 2 ft of a beach caster turned it into a uptide rod that was when it wasn’t a thing The looks I had off the club mates and even a skipper on a charter boat 🙄 Can you get a spare part for the reel ?

Elmo gutted for you mate, luckily you didn’t injure yourself.

Iv been working crazy lately last break was in early May the money is good but there’s always a price to pay and Iv not renewed my ticket. Got used to working 7 days a week and it’s become the norm should get back to normal hours at the end of the month Another reason for not renewing and the main reason is I haven’t been fishing with my buddy as he didn’t join the syndicate I plan to change that … so Iv booked us a couple of swims at Linear on B1 for a 48hr he don’t know yet, he’s had the all clear after having his pacemaker fitted and like I said to him we got to get him a 30 before his battery runs out.

I envy you … I’m down south east of our fair country
