Il be well happy with a healthy new year and finding more time to go fishing … hope the same for all the members 🤞

Iv been lucky with not getting Covid so far, hang on a min got to touch some wood, but I work on my own mostly and don’t come into contact with a lot of people. A landlord I work for has had Covid 3 times this year twice on holiday to the Le Mans race + Florida and last month. Last year he had it twice. 😳 Theres a flu like bug down my way hits you for 4 weeks Look after yourself lads.

Now don’t quote me here…but your nearest and dearest could be thinking that you got everything you need 🤔

Iv found as Iv got older I got less of the Xmas spirit… it has been mild of late that could have something to do with it for some people Merry Xmas mate and to all the members

Here’s his latest vid… enjoy

I needed a book badly in work as Iv had to a job on day work rates this past week and been bored out of my skull, the painters have even told me to slow down 🙄 I’m literally getting paid to watch paint dry, anyways had a look on my Kindle app on my phone and found the above title by Dave Lane in my library, I purchased it in 2913 … what a read it is with lots of lol moments.with great skills ( I sounded like Danny then j and the tackle they used was a eye opener… I defo will be trying out running rigs more. Highly recommended 👍

Not a purchase but a gift off the son of the cleaner who works at a house Iv worked on, a carper he rolls his own bait and was having a sort out this is the second lo.t Iv had off him The boilies il keep are frozen and the tubs of pop ups il give away…any more than the 3 pots I use will only confuse me.

Great book was recommended by a customer. Well written, funny and incredibly moving, I did get emotional xxxxx

My advice is to give your good lady the credit card when you have a looksee on the buy sell sites 😏

So was I so popped over the local park last week for a cast was going to take some pics but forgot my phone been trying the South Africa cast which I used in my sea fishing days. It’s added distance to my cast over the overhead thump… No fish but came close to hitting a seagull tho

Apparently it was the 1st time he ever seen one

Not a new purchase for me but my mate got his future son Inlaw a hot water bottle for a trip this weekend Sadly he didn’t do the stopper up enough and woke up in the early hrs with a wet sleeping bag 😳 ended up sleeping with a black plastic bag around legs and feet

Ouch !

In my younger days I would be sea fishing all times 3 tides a week sometimes 4 if the cod were in, dig the worm low water and fish the tide up and down I had an arrangements with a mate who managed a butcher shop he would take all of the cod and swap it for meat. Talking of butchers shops where have they all gone used to have 4 of them in the high street now it’s the metros like Tesco and others that sell the meat. 😏

What happened to all the Sticky baits you had ?

Not to sure about match fishing but generally Fishing can be cheap or expensive it’s your choice all depends on how deep your pockets are. The basic gear that a beginner has to start the sport with is incredible value for money for the carp and course angler But the day ticket waters that hold large carp can be costly, great if you can join a club with lakes near you tho. I used to fish the Linear waters regularly but it was getting to expensive and to hard to find the time… 48 hr ticket is £66 for 3 rods now 🙄 add the share of the fuel and bait = around £100 ish, lucky I’m on a syndicate 15 mins away from my home which cost £350 a year

I worry what you put in one end comes out the other 🥵

Got my total for the maggs from this guy he seems to look like the right sort of guy to count a pint of the maggs

0 Multiple the above number by the 7 pints I fed works out around 30,954 …thank god for spoding 😏

More like 4,422 🤔

Are you thinking of fishing competitions ?

I can remember the 1s time I used maggots was on a 48 trip cat ice in the margins with 1/4 of the lake frozen over. I had half a pint of old maggots that were almost past their sell buy date, with 3hrs to pack up time put a maggot rig in a bag with a handful of maggs and bingo a low 20, nx cast a mid double… me and my mate was gobsmacked 😳 The most maggots Iv used was almost a gallon on a prolific runs water

Wouldn’t like to be the guy at the bottom of that pile on 😳

Can you get them in pink camo ? 🤔

Happy birthday week ouch that’s a great present 👍 Talking of presents, On my 40th birthday I opened my card from the Mrs and two air tickets for Amsterdam dropped out 😳 now me and a mate have always made it known for years we wanted to go and I couldn’t wait to tell him we were finally going thanks to my lovely other half. …but ( why is there always a but ) but over a birthday lunch as I was staring into space, daydreaming what me and my mate were gonna to get up to I came crashing down to earth when I realised what the good lady had been saying for the last 5 minutes that she will have to get her hair done and would defo have buy a new outfit for the trip 😏 To be fair we had a great time and me and my mate managed to go for my 50th
