Orr heat up a knife then place it on the hole slide it over gently…. As an afterthought if your using your saw again and manage to lop off a arm or leg you could use the above technique to cauterise the cut enabling you to carry on with your trip, I got the idea from watching a old flim which I believe stared Tony Curtis called, now I could be wrong here but im going to say The vikings he unfortunately had his hand arm chopped off and a quick fix in them days was to set fire to the cut to stem the blood I can thoroughly recommend the film 👍 Best of luck with saw and trip.

Bit of bad luck there..but could have been worse might have nicked something very important 🤭 You could melt a bit of plastic with a lighter and drip a drop or two over the hole 🤔

The only reason I can think of to justify having a heater in a bivvy is if I was going to claim on mrs B B life insurance 🤔

I’ve got a Anker power bank cost around £30 ish off the bay of e which I’m happy with 4 charges on a iPhone and used it with my heated sleeping bag ok. It’s old technology got to be 3 years old but does the job takes a while to charge it back up tho

Aww I see… I hope it didn’t I had a contract in the past to paint 3 student houses, first thing I would do is have a look behind the cushions of the settees to feel about and you’ll find dosh and pens you get the idea ….that all stopped when I found a used syringe 😳

That post got to be the funniest Iv seen …choked on me coffee 😄

Highy what’s a needle stick mate… splinter ?. Were you wearing gloves ?

Wow …Did you boat it out ?

My mate used the Chinese hemp he reckoned is was bigger than the French ….i go for the cheapest myself

How much do you pay the guy from Trakker to carry your water ? ….. as you can tell from my posts I’m bored got rained off in work today 😏

Haven’t heard of them bad boys before 🤔

Sooo that’s why you didn’t spomb the paddles 🤔

That’s crazy seeing them paddling in yer swim 😳

Get the spod out then

Great pic and what a lovely morning for you, bet that Common has never seen a hook before.

I had a bike ride after work today over to a place I like to sea fish this summer needed to see it at low water. Seen the price of grip leads in the tackle shop today they’re gone up in price since the 80’s 🤔 …I borrow a mould from a mate and knock out some. Well done on the catch of Rays. 👍

Off for a couple of days in May to Costa La Tenby so hopefully get some mackerel and even more hopefully a Bass or two…..note to self wear sunglasses when browsing the lure selection

Best of luck looking good 👍… is that fresh weed in front of you ?

For all the members that have difficulty owning up to tackle purchases to their better half’s here’s a trick I came across …but be warned tho if you get greedy and abuse the said trick you could end up permanently damaged …

Photo bombed my a carp lol…nice pic 👍

The first time I came across a metal framed cradle was on a trip to France the design had just been released and i was called over to give a hand with a photo. He had landed the fish a low 30 by the look of it and was going to be his pb placed the fish in the cradle pulled the flap over the fish and turned to get the scales and camera …when the fish flipped out of the cradle and landed with a thud flip flapped down the muddy slope to the water with him chasing after it. 🫣 he managed to get is hand on it before it the fish swam off. He was inconsolable and was his only run of the trip. I also blanked with just a couple of jack pike on a spinner to my name. I personally prefer a low mat and use the fox easy mat for its compact size but always drape the landing net over it if need be.

On the flip side of asking questions to anglers I’m always cautious of the answers given back after all I could meet you kev or you could meet me on a lake 😂

I was fishing a big double swim with a mate and we both had 2 low 20’s when we saw two anglers heading our way with buckets quick as a lightning he picked up the still wet unhooking mat and threw it into my bivvy then grabbed the net and dropped it in the water. When the guys asked us had we had any luck he answered 1st and said not a thing it’s been dead. …So off they went on their way and I asked what was all that about he answered there’s empty swims either side of us and they would have jumped in if we told them about the fish and with the extra lines it was a no no.

I would never go back to walking the lines out… never ever ever..,you get a run in the early hours hopefully to land a fish then you got to walk the length of a football pitch or further sometimes less maybe in wet long grass to find your broken branch mark that hopefully nobody has moved to use for themselves. I can’t recall having issues with line twist using sticks…but in the dark days before I used the sticks I was passing my nephew at the back of our swim’s doing the dreaded walk and noticed he was walking out his rigs with his bait runners on I said that explains how he was always getting line twist, he was never happy with his line
