Carpbell3

See if I didn't live smack dab in the centre of England, love sea fishing I like how it all runs on tide times there is no pick and choose it's getting out for those few hours when shoreline fishing.

Hey it's the rants that get people posting. Hard to find a water that does allow leadcore some lakes pretty much insists on there own preferred set up and style of fishing. Take it you haven't seen the One Last cast products they do a all included lead leader.

I'm 50 50 on doing a bit of waggler fishing just at a day ticket type place not going out over winter can put you at a miss when starting back, I got big plans for KWP next year going up this weekend see how things are and season pass costs. Might even go full on gran pops and join the caravan club up there. Price of fuel is no joke.

The way prices are these days there's only two options for consistency either a good retail you can get anywhere or make your own, sticky, dna, mainline, cc moore that sort of bait. The small rolling companies are priced out can't run a unit for bait making back to the days of Fred in a shed knocking out a few kilo for themselves.

Thinking about giving canal pool a good go always wanted too if not that then maybe jigsaw just not sure if I want to be travelling for regular fishing could do KWP as a regular and do a few of the fancy day ticket waters for a treat. Sod it sounds like a solid plan to me.

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.

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.

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.

Did once or twice ponder shrink tubing a length of core alongside the mainline just 10 inches or so.

That's a long strip of lead core, have been thinking if adding a 12 inch bit to my set up on a bottom bait rod just enough to take the top bead at the join there is that much mess on the lake bottom I would like something that sinks in as opposed to riding over any lumpy bits of chod.

Also got 3 kilo of pellet but thy are angling direct own brand didn't realise that till after buying them. Not sure who they are made by so dubious about using them.

I could grab some more and am tempted but it has been real slow I thinking stick mix and a few baits around that.

Must be climate change I'm looking forward to getting out later this week that's unheard of for me at this time of year, hook baits are looking good, got a kilo and half of live system will also be getting some extra gas for my coleman lite gas lantern really does put some watts out, doors will be open vents unzipped it's a morning and evening use keeps the condensation out.

I went for a very light flavour mix of the plum and TM1 to say it's suttle would be a understatement, also cleaned the cork before using and flavoured the bag it went in before cleaning. Not bad got some pop up which are real buoyant a few of what I hope will be wafters depending on how they dry out, and a few bottom baits. Once they are dry I will give them a splash of ccmoore 365. Really like John's kit the base mixes really are multilayered think it's the yeasts he puts in.

I'm doing some hook baits today for next week, got to bust some bottle corks up as cork granules can only be got online the corks are unused. I want to do two different flavours both in pop ups and bottom baits. Going to do a one egg mix of liquid then split 100 grams of powder mix into two portions and try to mix half of the egg into each portion of mix one lot of powder mix contains cork, or should I mix the cork in after I have made the paste and just do he whole mix in one? The kit.
