Carpbell3

The ying and yang of carp angling.

Need a few decent over 50's only lakes, I used to like a mid week only ticket not many do them now, you get far too many anglers trying to turn a hobby into a paying job, bait testers being the worst of the lot on a small water.

Not so much hooked as I haven't fished it, but... I'm all set for this year if I want to, Bluebells, always had a yearning for it as Bluebells would always be in the angling press years back, I'm pretty good at timing for dodging the super busy times and you can drive to the pegs, which is the main selling point of a lake these days, means more travelling but so long as I'm not humping barrow loads around that's the main thing. Still in half a mind to convert the mini van into a camper wagon just struggling to see the point in it when I'd be in the bivvy anyhow, probably just use it for storage and a charging station.

Only ever had one membership cancelled that was due to a clash of personalities between myself and a longstanding member turned up one day and didn't just get told which peg to fish but escorted to it, me being me well you can guess the rest. They was always looking for a reason after that, never could find one angling wise, never so much as left dog fur in my peg when leaving, had enough in the end so I gave the lads something to grass me up for lol.

Not fishing related but a bivvy dehumidifier would be good, just bought one for the house, run it on the landing and it does the whole house nice makes the air nice and clean you can set them to any humidity levels you like.

The DWP have been behaving OK, lol, Actually moved us over to UC with no hassle all reviews were paper based and completed in three months put the Mrs into the LCWWRA group after her docs sent some info in. Advised me to put a fit note in for myself due to a few things, but I didn't bother as of yet, still waiting for my COPD tests, and a hernia op, lol nah don't want to go on the sick... looked as if I was mad.

On a mission today, battery went flat on my motor Xmas eve, so had to get a charger which meant I couldn't get over to the vape shop till today, bought on of those elf bar vapes locally foul tasting thing that got binned, considering it is meant to be a tobacco replacement you would think they would sell tobacco flavours, you will be lucky if the shops stock one disposable that is tobacco flavour.

No such thing they all get wet, I did once get offered a set of seal skinz when buying my soft shell kit, 40 quid...I'll pass mate.

That is a nice one I like lure fishing for perch but you get more Jack's and small zander than anything else canals are packed with zander near me all mini fish and chips size.

Hmm someone is having a pop, proper got the crayons out.

Saying nothing!

Taste and texture not a fan of fish at all other than from a nice chippy.

Don't eat shellfish nothing to do with this just don't like em, not a single one of the little critters.

Use the coated and strip it all off barr an inch at the knot end of the hook length, I'm good at bending rules, sometimes laws, it's when you break em you have problems 😉 😜
