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

Super market sweeps hook baits oats, gram flour, walnut, almond, tiger nut and corn, hemp milk, milk powder and honey plus the JB flavours and cream. Going to fish these with the matching mix.

😄

Hopefully, got his 2nd England training next week, starting with England GK Development Team.

😃

Must be tory wildlife, unable to follow their own guidelines 😂

A view from the bivvy door 4am saturday - quite a gathering 😍
 

can't wait to get out going for an early start to beat the heat, one rod will be a tiger pop up the other a home made pop up and a home made bottom bait on the third, also take some zig bits get all the tackle in the swim and go get some cold items and a bag of ice to go in the cool box with blocks it is an electric one you plug in the car but won't be near the car really so ice it is. pound a bag, lovely.

That's what I thought, but wife's working, and I've got it at 36hr now for a steal of £20 for 3 rods, it's a dad n lad fishing weekend what they do every year, me n 2 mates are booked on for em with our kids too. 

Out area has give scattered showers all weekend, but temps still above 20oC...little lad n dog coming too, but both not keen on the forecasted thunder n lightning. 
I'm not fussed but due to little lad playing football and the incident with the young lad a couple of weeks ago, he now is scared to death about lightning. 

i'm going out, love it cold drinks cold food knap during the day and be up through out the night. no need for extra clothes still take my bag just sleep on top meant to get a mozzie net kind time of year the deet might come out, i take fifteen litres of water and get cold juice and fruit while there.  i get in for a paddle if need be just sit next to the rods with my feet in the water.

Just had a tinker with Bait, made -

Unlucky Chill…that must have been a moment knowing there was 40 + fish there 

Well didn't manage to catch .... but it wasn't for the want of trying.  Absolutely loved getting out again.  Was trying to tempt some big fish from a snag , one was defo a 40 + mirror,  finally managed to get two takes on the 3rd morning only to drop them both to hook pulls . Hopefully getting out again in September 😎

Gone back to it, the last lot was Gardner Purple, this is Wychwood DPF. 

I do like the way that purple line looks, looks pretty cool with the all black stuff 

I get what you are saying mate I don’t fish snags anyway, a lot of the waters I fish you ain’t allowed to use them, I guess like you say people using them to put baits where they shouldn’t be.
I want one for a little pond I fish, the island has overgrown and you can’t get a lead to it without hitting the trees that are over hanging (not into the water) and if you start doing several casts to get it right you will spook the fish out of the swim and they won’t return for ages lol. 
 
a 11m baiting pole might do it from a couple swims but might as well spend the extra and get a boat, I think I will enjoy using it too 😆 but yeah it’s not for all my fishing, just for the tricky pond I sometimes fish 👍
 

bait boats on large waters is a must when they spend most of there time out of realistic casting range  i do believe you fish large waters so a boat of some sort would be needed, my views on boats is due to only fishing small snaggy waters, the last thing you should see is a bait boat they are not being used to fish open water they go under trees and around the back of islands as far as they dare, most aren't even set up for snag fishing pods and slack clutches tells you all you need to know really.

Whatever floats your boat mate.
I won’t lose any sleep over using one or the merit of capture. I enjoy catching carp and will use anything I can to help me catch more 😀
 

i'm half messing around with that above post we can all justify what and why we use and i wouldn't sequel if i witnessed a murder never mind a bit of dodgy boat use, not my conscience not my problem, i will say if you ever kill one of the a team on a lake due to bad snag fishing it ill hit you hard, i nearly did it a few years back  and it was to a spot i could cast to, the fish is or was the biggest in the the lake a very special fish, just after spawning in a lake with a fair few large males, this poor fish really had had a hard time, then me doing the photos nearly finished it off, took me multiple hours to get the fish right and back swimming it has been caught twice since then but has not been seen in a while now, it is more than likely still in there the fish in the lakes will only eat naturals for years at a time, i have seen large fish spook on bait. 

I have no issue with prebaiting, its a very useful tool, if I had the money I would probably do it more and heavier as its a massive advantage done well 
I do know what you mean about boats though,people take all sorts of risks with them, although I can also see the advantages of owning one, like stealth being the main one, and prebaiting with a boat would be really useful rather than letting everyone know your spots when they hear you spombing the granny out the place 😂

I'm having 2nd thoughts about mine, still in its box unused May try to off load it. 

I got enough wedge in the bank for a boat, still not getting one or sling Jim shelly size Bait portions at them, it's not angling it is feeding . The art of hunting is all about the cast be that with dogs or rod and line don't let any of those RC guys tell you any different every fish caught with a boat is as good as foul hooked.
Think from now on in I will have to do some squealing they really shouldn't  be putting those boats under trees and what not, fish welfare and all that.  😇
