  1. Today's Thought? I'd really hoped that growing old would take much longer than this. 😗 Ian.
  2. Anchor Meadow is temporarily closed for all forms of fishing. The campsite is closed, too. Big Fish Ken died in 2015 and his wife Margaret has been running the business since then. Margaret died a few weeks ago and her family has closed the business until it's decided how they're going forward, if at all. Ian.
  3. Years ago I frequently fished using method feeders and did pretty well with them. I'd use a variety of different feed mixes and enjoyed the experimental aspect of doing so. For the life of me I can't think why I stopped using feeders, maybe simply hair-rigging a boilie was a fresh approach? Dunno. Anyway, what do we think? Would it be a waste of time and effort or is it worth revisiting the method feeder? Any thoughts, guys? Ian.
  4. Hi Rugby, welcome amongst us. Ian.
  5. I won't be changing over. When I bought mine the attraction was that if I had a take only I would know, not every angler within earshot. I like silent heads and don't want or need speakers. Ian.
  6. It's no good being daft if you don't show it. 😄 Ian.
  7. Somewhere, no idea where, I have the entire set. I can't claim to have collected them myself, they were a gift from a pal who was moving house and downsizing. Wonder where I put them............. Ian.
  8. Go onto Ebay and look at item number 334778194103. There's a guy selling original format Vitalin in various sized bags, to suit your needs. Hope this helps. Ian.
  9. You're welcome. Ian.
  10. The company is run by a guy called Kenny Gates. The business is based at Malgraves Industrial Estate, Lower Dunton Road, Bulphan, Essex RM14 3TE. I can't find a phone number and he's not on Facebook. However, there are a few clips on YouTube which you may find useful. Just type in Asylum Baits. Hope this helps, mate. Ian.
  11. Over the years I've fished several venues in France and every one I've fished has allowed the use of baitboats. Indeed, several of them have boats for hire. Ian.
  12. I too tend to find larger venues a bit intimidating, it's like fishing an ocean! I agree with all that Framey says, particularly the part about breaking a large lake into a series of smaller ones, psychologically. I try to remember to never overlook the margin, it's the one feature that every water has and is frequently ignored. I remember being told that three things will find fish. Observation, observation and observation. Ian.
  13. I've just had a look on Facebook Marketplace and found several carp barrows available. A Carp Porter Mk11 Wideboy in as new condition, complete with the uderslung carrier thingy, for £150 was among them. If I didn't already own one I'd be on my way to buy it. Ian.
  14. The smile says it all and confirms that effort equals result. Fair play to the gentleman.
  15. They list sizes up to 8XL. Dominant enough, or what? Ian.
