Mono over braid depends what your fishing over as in any situation horses for courses

😀😀I know of some lakes that happen to have crayfish in do you cook em first or kill an scoop out the meat ???

I do enjoy a discussion on bait I know I dont use manmade smells or flavours but I do use natural ingredients like prawn tuna garlic turmeric paprika etc any of you guys used naturals like this is your bait your bound to have what's your views etc I do understand and know that they may not stay fresh as long once defrosted etc

Hi gaffa I understand exactly what your saying I make my own baits just to be different the size and shape is just to overcome the tench and bream so the carp can find them at least. I'm fishing a large park lake with it's own weather system lol (Seriously dont listen to the weatherman) it gets filled in with particles and alot of the guys are using the same bait company and having their baits rolled for them, I dont use no flavours etc I give mine a really good air dry so they're like rocks then rehydrate with a little lake water and special k from baf I know the carp are eating them I'm ashamed to say I'm yet to land one, the weed is at least 10 -11 feet In the spots I've found that no one seems to be fishing its mostly deeper and bait boats I've been using a fishspy to find feed and check spots which are looking like a polished table if I'm honest fingers crossed I'm off tomorrow new reel loaded with new braid for the one rod the other my usual gr line both drop off system.

Lol I've not got a set up like that lol just a hand table lol but the base mix is my own lol I've been doing it for yrs I started using fusion yrs ago then found I could get my own ingredients and haven't looked back 😀😀

Tidy looking mix that gaffa

lol that is a steamer I meant the boilies are going on a patrol route I found lol I've got a rolling table but dont use it I want the baits to be different from each other

Your doing well butty patience is key you'll soon be into another

Next batch these are going in on a patrol route I found with the fishspy it's like looking at a roundabout with junctions off it

Carp luv em and because of the shape they flutter and settle nicely 👌👍👍

Thank you very much so far I'm impressed only ordered it last night its here allready looks a awesome reel

Hi guys an ladyship has anyone used the sonik dominator rs reel I'm waiting for one to be delivered there was no feedback on it so was wondering has anyone got or used this reel

Morning guys after walking there and 3 laps found them where I expected on the fresh wind after the 3 lap still there I put one on the bottom one on a zig nothing put a zig crust out 4ft below surface looking really good then a blooming tufty had to get involved that was that nothing they'd moved out to not make an appearance till I had to pack up and I would of moved but it's a public park lake and was packed so wasnt really an option I love camping I do 😃😃

Off tomorrow another day a new wind another try I'll keep you up to date guys wont be able to post till I get back tight lines anyone whose wetting a line guys 🎣🐟😉

Personally I'd fill the spools personal confidence just in case then check it every few weeks for damage stretch etc

Your welcome take a picture of your rigs let's see if theres anything wrong it's a place to start and work back

If you were local to me I'd have a few sessions with you to see if I could help with some tips and help I'm in wales

If we could see your rigs would help maybe what sort of lakes are you fishing I've blanked 2yrs solid on a water because I listened to others it's not easy this time of yr anyway get yourself to a runs water and talk to other anglers you'll find most will help and even give you a hand to make sure your fishing safe etc

I've used the tactic to good effect in the past and since I've been having a walk an talk with the guys they all use 18mm so just went different. Another blank but still learnt a few things

Looking forward to going fishing friday put another piece of the puzzle together

Good angling see just a few changes to an allready good bait totally changes the outcome

I'll use a few of these Friday the rest will go in a juice and in the freezer till needed

Gr60 been using it 2yrs now in 20lb it's only this last few months with a leader because of the rules at the lake

Steaming away an smell amazing
