I think I've got a solution for the Self takes....
Anyone seen them "Ring Lights" lad has 1 and thinking of using for the night shots.... OMG there bright.
The halo tube is the bulb/light, it runs of USB so power pack can be plugged in when picture to be taken, it has White Red Green Blue solid lights, you can also mix all the colours like a rainbow, 4 different brightness settings.
The phone holder is in the middle, think I should use with Whistle App
Tripod adjusts to different levels.
Might give it a whirl tomorrow night.
The futures bright the light is highly 😂😂

It’s making me question everything mate.
Same bait and the day before when I had a take, sticky krill. I know it works.
I had the fish in front of me last night I seen several carp, just don’t understand why they didn’t get their heads down.
my baits are going on some hard spots, about a foot off the island. I’m wondering if it’s because I’m not getting it close enough.. bait boat would help 👍😂
Then in questioning the rigs I’m using, I’ve recently made a change. I’ve been trying out a slip D rig with a bait screw. It was nailing the bream every time on res. If it’s hooking them well enough, shouldn’t be a problem hooking the carp?
Might have to go back to the basic knotless knot rig for bottom baits and try that again lolGuys your probably not doing nothing wrong the carp gremlins got a hold of you by the sounds of it don’t put no bait in fish a single

Hi all, It's been years and I mean years since I've been to this lake, it's a 10minute walk easy from my house the short way.
I'm literally on it now walking the dog, in the right hands this would be an Awsome fishing lake (or 2).
I'm on a bay end of the lake now.
Top end of the lake has a little bridge between both...
That was the bigger lake (half)
Now the smaller...
This is 1 of the pegs, what looks like still in use...
And the bottom looks like gravel.
It would be interesting to find out what is happening to this place, as when I was younger there was some decent Tench in here and I know the smaller lake is the deepest... Also used to be full of leeches.
They look awesome with some hard graft an elbow grease they would make a nice water or two I’d make them one water myself personally

Was just having my crack of dawn cuppa wondering if my thrown together on darkness rig was still presented OK, when it ripped off, so I guess it was 😂
I lost another one last night on the stiff boom Ronnie, almost a carbon copy of the first tbh same place it seemed to come off ,I have to admit I threw my rod down and instantly regretted it as my reel got dirty and now needs a clean😯, but I thought its not hooks I've tried them all now, must be Rig length went from 7 to 12 inch and changed from stiff link to tungsten loaded x stiff (quicker to tie in anger) and sent out a 12 inch Ronnie with a mugga,
Luckily this one was quite well hooked, cos every twist and turn I kacked my pants a bit more, its been an emotional 2 days, glad to have been on the right side of one because I would have left a broken man, and I can add to a blooming catch report finally seems ages 😂
Gonna airbomb the granny out of the place with my remaining munga now then go home, lovely times 😬😬😬😬😬👀 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Well earned elmo

Nothing to report sadly, my left rod came in tangled, middle covered in weed and had an occurance on the right, as it was out the clip but it came in fine, all gone back out with Ronnie's on stiff booms, so they reset, it's annoyed me I haven't caught they have been all over me all night 😭
It’s a nightmare when you know you should have had one an haven’t I’d have used a stiff boomed combi every man an his dog is using ronni rigs I’ve noticed if it ain’t broke elmo

bit of an odd question but what's the maximum time you could put a fresh made paste log into the fridge and still roll it on a table roller, some pastries and dough's can be left overnight in the fridge before working, would a base mix become too stiff for rolling if left overnight in the fridge?
Half hour it goes really stiff if left over night

Well since the glorious 16th iv had the marker rod out over the dock most early evenings after work found some clean spots but the weed is growing like Japanese knot weed on steroids. Here’s some pics from both ends
The wharf gets like that mate I fished it for 7 yrs when it was free go down outside the council office to the right of the steps about a rod length maybe a rod an half it should be clear also by the gate the first post there should be a tiny spot dinner plate size Over the rats is a sand spot or if the pipe is emptying out from the steelworks you will have the common hope this is of some help

My ex used to find the tiniest little bit if I ever had a bait rolling session in the kitchen, and the smell of Trigga, Liver Elite, GLM powder and Sweet Cajouser actually woke her up one night.
No such thing as a decent bait smell, even cinnamon and peach or eucalyptus and cherry smells overly strong and a bit off when boiling.
Hemp has always been done outside of the house, the only good use of a Coleman Peak1 stove...
I’ve got a really understanding mrs but she said if ever I mix an roll my crab steamies in the house again that’s it lol she said she could smell them for weeks 😂😂 nose blind me lol

Hi all,
I started up carp fishing again after a few years away. When I looked online to view some end tackle I felt a bit lost, as it seems to be over complicated now.
Luckily I found some bits I recognised and stuck with what I know.
Drop off heli-rigs? What’s that all about? 🤦♂️Fish safety

Is it possible to leave out the weight if using a pva bag, let that be the weight?
Put a stone in the pva bag I’ve used this tactic for on the top but not bottom fishing
