100%agree with you 👍👍👍

It is technique but you got to have the gear that can achieve those distances I was lucky my uncle used to take me sea fishing so learnt to cast very early in life 🤫

He’s got a greys 3.5tc got to say nice piece of kit if I had that money

I’ve just come back from baiting up even tho I can’t fish the lake as it’s closed but I know I’m the only one baiting and I know it’s being eaten but I’ve been trickling my boilies in for the yr so far anyway I just don’t tell no one same as I’d not say if I’d caught unless it was my first 40 or pb common

Nice pike that mucka

Your too late unless others are baiting up too you should of been baiting from autumn butty

I’d go for the penn all day long they are built to take a hammering an still keep going and they cast a dream I’m only small and I can cast my mucka 170 yrds with pva bag included

👍😂😂😂get a patent on it elmo

😂😂😂I’ll be sure to give that a go elmo

That’s good to they added that with chocolate to make the chocolate malt boilies if I’m not mistaken elmo

The smart liquid is ok but for the price a bottle of cheap baileys an a tin of condensed milk does the same thing plus it goes in coffee smart liquid don’t😂😂

I just try to match the hatch so to speak

I find it helps to be different too 😏

Said bait can me mushed by hand and added to some other bits as a ground bait which can be deverstating elmo

If you want to wash out your bait but keep the flavour use baileys or vodka with condensed milk soak for at least 24 hrs an your good to go hope this helps it’s done me well in the past

My first choice would be penn they are bulletproof take a kicking an keep on ticking

You can mix the combos together some anyway the berry an pineapple go well but if I’m honest to achie a washed out bait will be hard they do have a tendency of adding colour rather than take it away

They all float so with minimal weight should be able to use them as bottom baits too

I’ve just been making flys an grubs ready for spring I think I’m getting a bit better

All my local lakes are closed as they’re attractions play park etc so I can’t go and I’m itching to wet a line I love fishing this time of yr guys

Sorry about your farther in law mucka

We always get done by our government

I’ve heard the same I’m glad I’ve been stocking up on boilies so glad I got my own freezer

it’s frustrating

Well I’ve still been walking the lake and giving them some food in the only 2 bits Ice free but I don’t think this lockdown is going anywhere soon you can’t even go in a supermarket now unless the police see your card why you haven’t a mask I can see me losing my patience soon I understand about the hospitals but when they’ve closed 4 and moved the patients they had to a short staffed brand new hospital where the staff don’t even know the layout then this COVID on top no wonder they’re over run now there arragant old bill half my age grabbing me by my shoulder where’s your mask who the blooming hell put 10 pence in his coin slot Rant over now gggrrr I’ve really had enough
