Carpbell3

Soz, did try to turn her round seems stumpy had a few posts in him after all. My leadcore comment was on point I thought everyone buys the 1 meter lengths in a pack I doubt they would uy shorter bits. You don't see many full rolls of leadcore sold I still have spool of krypton I bought over 10 years back.

I didn't know the true cost till I spoke to Chris about it, cost was around 10 for a kilo. I honestly knew nothing of the history between him and that company me running around singing it's praises after a few good fish and the biggest mirror in the little lake didn't impress him lol 🤣

I could of paid the deposit in December if he insisted I asked to put it off a month, if that's why you ban someone then yes, me I think it's due to me barking at him when he phoned me as opposed to walking down the path and talking to me.

He got funny after I pulled a few big uns out on the ecton Berry and made the mistake of telling him and others about the great bait company I found just up the road I didn't know he held a grudge why would I.

Due to him, started after a iffy phone call when we was both on the same lake started to ask about my Mrs disability as though he was a civil servant he got barked at for a reply, didn't come and talk to me. Then he said I phoned him a moaned about ticket price increase as he knew I was real annoyed with him. when I went to renew i asked if I could pay in January as December is a tight month for me it was at that point he said no all subs have to be secured in December and went all anti weed even though the place is chocc full of growers, sellers and smokers. The guy breaks that many of deffras rules running that place it's laughable, reckon he must have one trousers leg shorter than the other.

Lol no not yet I'm not that keen.

Got banned last year over the phone when I went to renew, I don't listen to foolish talk that's blatantly racist, then you should hear his views on disabled, that was the straw, took the rip back a bit about his well manicured lakes and nothing else other than telling not to talk about loved ones in any manner as his direct questioning was like a right-wing civil servent running a institution in the victoriana era. Yeah I really dislike the guy any time I get to give an honest opinion he will hear it.

I have also fractured my coxis after slipping in the garden, I had big plans for next month that had nothing to do with fishing to say I'm gutted is a understatement so I'm looking for a pain in the rear to vent on.

A fool that talks to people like they are dog do and when you take the rip back he stomps his foot removes your ticket then talks stinky winky behind your back, I have a ex like that the person is one seriouse bigot that needs banning from holding anysort of membership list. Short of his circle group buddies. Anyhow, enough for today on stumpy back to leadcore, nasty stuff in the wrong hands, it comes from pre packed sales of 1 meter stripes, it set the going amount to use only because it wouldn't sell in 5 to 10 ince lengths, there I stayed on topic and sorted the problem, it's all about retail.

It's like when he tells his story of kicking proper travelers and gypsy people off the lakes, no he really didn't they moved along a few hippies that were living the van life. He really does talk it up and use real derogatory language the fact some will lap it up for a ticket well that's a nodding dog.

To be fair there is not enough traffic on this site to open a discussion just going get the same nodding dog response.

Nope I have no problem with anyone other than the fool Chris Berry leadcore has been done to death, let's move on to other aspects of carp angling that need reforming, such as otter fencing.

Carp anglers are well backwards in social skills too, seems idiot is a casual insulst bandyed round without thougt, a hang over from the days of institutions for socities lesser able. Idiot along with retard was a very darwinist lable applied to people with one of the spectrum disorders. The fact it is still used today and picked up by new comers to Britain is shocking some people just don't know the meaning of the language they use. Get Chris to open up on such things you would think is was the victorian era again, can't wait to bump into him see if he can talk the talk to my face, the nasty little jaffa hardly surprising the man has no family of his own with a personilty like that.

I have found carp anglers a tad hypocritical it is similar to crufts comb your dogs fur a differant way to the next owner and you doing it wrong, my opinion is you can't be doing wrong if it's a hobby Terrier owners are even worse some of us see no use for most dogs even though the terriers are kept as pets, tell ya most would be gutted if they were to moan that terriers are too feisty. I don't think Fred would of been welcome on Chris's lakes not enough room to get away from distractions. Least we know one thing can a English fox hunter dance like an Irish man... you bet they can and do, got to give it the protesters though they really did get the hunts to up their practice in animal welfare.

Better expand, the hunting act is not enforceable other than by volunteers which have caused more problems than when it was a protest. Be one of those laws that fades.

No not really all my best fish came fishing straight through I do get a bit leader happy when things are getting grim and a change up frenzy kicks in. That's the same for most things though If you would like to expand the topic on bans in general there could be a problem with Otter fencing as it goes against DEFRAs policy on a number of different points, the containment and impediment of movent of wild and feral animals. Same for blue lake dye totally off the scale on a natural water able to host all wildlife safely. Could be some big changes comming soon for carp angling whether anglers like it or not carp are that wide spread they are invasive to natural wildlife, just like mink are. In brighter news looks like the hunting with dogs act is about to go the way of the doddo.

Even though I haven't had a waggler rod out in years that's definitely the one and I might just treat myself to a 13 foot Harrison in a 1lb and a half test or there abouts get some large rings on it to handle 10lb line you can fish for near anything with that on any water.

Bet companies like Drennan will be getting shot of as many overheads as they can, I don't think they are getting much shelf space in the big stores same for their ESP range. Martin will be OK

Could this be one of the slowest years for carp angling, there are guys blanking on B1 and B2 I was thinking about a visit to there or similar for a runs session, the water I'm on is scary slow they just ain't coming out. Or there are not big number catches reported this year just the odd fish here and there. Next year should be fun I was planning on dropping on to a real hard water I'm now back to not knowing which bait to go with.

I had to laugh when he slipped his harness even though my vape mod and tank ended up in the brambles taking me a solid afternoon to find. Dog's a proper pikey throws his vest off before kicking off you know he means business when the shirt comes off 🤣

Oh just incase my trains tactics are called into question he is a working line jack that was left indoors for two years. Still as boisterous as ever just more controlled with it. Claiming the best spot.

The perfect carp dog rarely barks if att all don't go for birds real friendly with passing anglers and is okish with dogs plus he now walks off lead when on fields. Not bad seems he was never shown how to behave, still slipped his harness Saturday night same jack russell went by that he had a scuffle with last week, the russell was being carried past so Fred settled on chasing his mate around. In his spot waiting to ambush passing trade.

You look similar size to me get the small Proper boulders the temps are dropping this week going to be those real damp mornings and nights really does put me off hate damp clothing or bedding.

If you want to make that claim you should don't forget it's a payment to keep you with some sort of active lifestyle and not because a person is fully immobile which is what a lot of people think. My Mrs gets it and DLA before the swap over she has had lifelong hypermobility gets to be a real problem with the most basic of tasks once you get past 40 or so.

Not used them but they will work just as good as any other alarm, I have used the super cheap brands for alarms had the stillwater brand they worked for years also had one of the grandslam alarms can't fault it works perfect. That one cost less than a tener. A lot of carp kit was once only sold by a few known brands and they are trusted the only problem is they use that trust to sell overpriced kit there is no reason on earth a carp angler needs those 300 a set alarms. Welcome to the forums don't skimp on bait prices you really do get what you pay for with bait.
