Ever lose the will to session fish just watch a few Terry videos and you will be up and running in no time, he is the Gangster rap of carp angling, seems a very private guy to be fair he could be top billing on all sorts of angling media.

Not a purchase as such but I have been looking at a new rod or two something in 12 foot 3lb test, the 10 footers are fine but if I drop on larger waters got a few in mind, I might need at least one 12 foot rod set up. Was looking at the Fox Horizon X4 to be honest i like my Torques so much Fox is the only high end rod I'd buy off the shelf, I'd get the 12 foot Torque rod but they don't do them anymore.

Never fished it on a Ronnie mind you.

Looks a bit like the float and ledger set up from years back used to be the crossover from waggler fishing to big leads on the bottom, you end up needing to step up line size and rod rings, Walk out the shop with a carp rod and baitrunner.

My Mrs is awesome been together 30 years it was her that got me back into fishing she even puts up with my terriers and they run rings around her.

Good money mate I charge 35 a side for gutter and fascia cleans I have been doing it for years same for window cleaning. I'm just chuffed I can still do it at my age, well used to be able, ladders sold yesterday so no more nipping out to do a quick job.

Baiting up is weird I took to dumping 3 to 5 kilo of hemp on one spot did alright as well that was at Ecton means a bit of dodgy wadding so I would sooner get a boat for that.

Fair play to him he has put the work I on the lakes, he don't half get moaned about by anglers local to that area. Be well out of my price range these days.

She has OK-ed the sale of my ladder collection got someone coming tomorrow to pick them up so no more window round or odd jobbing gutted a bit to be fair but can do without it, it was taking down old satellite dishes in the rain that brought my cold out a few weeks back. Also how I got my hernia last winter but that was me lazy lifting.

They look a bit odd but I like them they come up on my FB profile

Looks a nice place have looked at it before for a French visit. Just watched the pod cast the talks about Nash's lakes, his side does sound a bit rough, looks like he was just going to get messed around with bills and red tape if he fought to keep the place. Think all lake owners get accused of nicking fish from rivers and canals I take it as rumours the fella who runs Wellingborough gets the same said about him, and I doubt he would go out nicking fish for his lakes, the stock in those lakes is well selected from honest suppliers once you see what's in those lakes you will want a Dinton ticket.

Mrs found out I had my gear on ebay, due to health reasons, made me take it down reckons I will be back out when it warms up next March lol, damp air really is going to be a problem will need to get a heated blanket or something.

Been eating, well drinking, boilie mix super milk... had a real bad cold a few weeks back that was causing all sorts of breathing problems meaning I didn't eat right losing over a stone in weight. Got some of the mass gainer from optimum nutrition worked really well think I'm going to buy them regular and they taste nice, be just right for a fast meal when out angling. Got to have more tests for COPD xrays showed signs for it... Brightside I have a 64% chance of getting a PIP payment which should increase somewhat when I include my groin hernia which looks massive and needs strapping before I do anything.

I don't use a leader and I'm not a fan of braid but I do use it on my marker n spod set up get something around the 50lb breaking strain mark and use it without a leader, I just don't like braid, the noise it makes sounds dangerous!

Still not been myself it's the only venue appealing at the moment, well that and Ecton I'm a drive to your peg kind of guy.
