Guess that boat from China is taking it's time đ What a shambles!!!
-
Lol.... it is a shambles, apart from that earlier bloke I posted about them, nothing else. Guess I will give up on them tbh
-
Thanks for the link đ Even though I don't do FB I could watch it. Thinking this might be sods law, despite my earlier reservations on them I might consider getting a pair. However, the lack of info and release date is a bit concerning tbh. Will also wait for any longer term reviews on them if they ever go on sale?!
-
Have done as a previous post: "Just an update on this post.... Last week one of my old ATTs started to play up after many years of trouble free service, bit of a bodge job to get battery chamber working again but now doesn't seal properly! đ Anyway, out of curiosity last week I emailed Gardner via the web site about any release date for the new alarms, no response - probably not surprised tbh. Actually wondering if they will ever appear?" Hopefully Gardner not going T*ts up as a company, still got a long supply of their hooks I use đ But tbh (errr) sorry for 'speak not speaking engurlish'..... I would have now been considering at last to buy some but.... maybe they are on a slow ferry from China??
-
Yes I did actually âšī¸, just saw the play arrow and clicked on it - and I used to work in IT đ Anyway, still awaiting any more info on them, if you know where this video clip can be seen I would like a nose at them but I don't do face ache
-
Have modded mine with 4 magnet rollers and 'Carp Ears' ages ago mate, just old hands have somehow messed up the battery housing, never mind still have 100% faith in my old ones đ
-
Video clip doesn't play for me, errr if that is a new product, why hide it behind silly Back Lead clip thing... not exactly a new thing âšī¸ Somehow think they will not be appearing at all in the near future?!!

Haven't used hemp seed for a few years now, became to expensive and quality seemed to drop too. I am now using my own spomb mix, over method feeders, was very impressed how the buckwheat 'resembled' large hemp seed when cooked, might be worth a try for others on here?
-
Not exactly boring mate, but was same old same old. Didn't realise Terry Hearn was actually registered as a LTD company on companies house, fair play to the bloke and not some no mark bivvie tramp living off freebie tackle and baits for a brief spell on social media!
-
Yonny: Sorry I didn't realise that, they looked a bit like the old Weigh Master scales I used to have. Kevtaylor: Might have to do the same thing, I have the big Ruben dial scales, they are a bit bulky, come to think of it I don't actually use them much now anyway! đ
-
"Are we talking about the old Nash Monster pursuit bait as used by the likes of Terry hearn and Nigel sharp back in the day? From memory it was a fishmeal bait with added Robin red with an added Shellfish flavour." Sorry so easy on line to find this stuff, from another site, just a big bait circus, no doubt it will fly off the shelves tho....... until the next big thing..... đ
-
And those baits are deff not any current Sticky ones đ¤Ģ
-
On reflection, maybe a bit harsh on my comment, as ever the carp were amazing, big old ones and not fished to death by noddies! Couple of things tho... why did he use some 'cheapo' scales to weigh the fish? and... kept mentioning about the 20mm boilies, might be the Source, but did notice a 'sneak' view of a Sticky bag coming from the cool box too? Fair play to the bloke deff better videos than most. Just wish I could get out on the bank today and tomorrow but unfortunatly lakes are closed... weed clearance apparently, didn't seem to bother Tell tho đ Or me if I was allowed to fish!
-
Fair comment, deff better than some 'urban banx (sic)' thing, or a lot of just tackle promo videos âšī¸. Mind you, as someone who watched 'Harefield Hauling' many years ago perhaps my age is starting to show! đ
-
Nice chunky fish mate, remember the late John Wilson was always a great fan of the Wensum, good to see otters have not completly decemated the river too đ
-
Probably not going to be to be well recieved but spent a while watching this and gave up, it's the same old same old...... last interesting one was many years ago on his boat fishing on the thames... imo
-
Yes it seems to be, made my own and it deff makes the mix a lot stickier / firmer đ tried it on Monday on a new lake, no fish caught but obviously early days yet.
-
Amazing fish mate, better than any pale water pigs on so many venues, and no mouth damage too, they are certainly to be respected hopefully will go on in some undiscovered places and be left in peace đ
-
I travel along A30 when I go to Kernow, actually there is a quarry on the right hand side as you drive that always strikes me as looking very 'creepy', never turned off to investigate it tho đ¨ Think it is near the 'Nearly Home Trees' ? Also good to hear there are still places that still have Leneys... I am old but if they have been undisturbed some may be my age? lol
-
@emmcee. lovely looking fish, glad there are still some around đ. @salokcinnodrog Frensham ponds still on a Farnham angling club ticket, sadly as you say had a massive fish kill and tbh the big lake is now just unfishable, even if you wanted to in summer as rammed with swimmers and tourists. Used to be a lake near there many years ago that was an old skool venue tho, think Andy Little used to fish there??
-
Sadly, I suspect no true Leneys now exist.... I still have this 'romantic' notion that there are still undiscoverd / ultra private waters where they do tho đ I used to correspond 'email' years ago with a bloke who actually knew Chris Yates and he mentioned the Leney stock records, it started with my mention of a certain surrey water who Yates had 'guested' on and he lived near the place and knew nothing about it, probably mentioned the place on here but a deff no no for visits or fishing tho now!
-
Lovely looking Leney, they were deff something special đ
-
Ah, see what you mean now đ Even the Leney Carp originally came from Holland, I believe, and used to be predominat in Horseshoe Lake in the 90's, now sadly long gone, they were lovely looking fish and one of the reasons I used to make a silly amount of miles to fish for them. đ
-
Roughtor, Not sure what the 'danubian notch' is? I get to Kernow twice a year, mainly to chill from stuff, last time I found a small lake rammed with smallish carp, lovely time catching on floaters and only one fishing there, obviously not wildies but long lean and so hard fighting and no mouth damage đ Good to fish somewhere with no bivvie city and carp idiots đ
