    Hi Jack, I regret that I can't help with venues local to you, not my part of the world, but I just wanted to say welcome among us. I feel sure that someone from your neck of the woods will be along soon with the information you seek. Ian.

    Thanks for that, Nick. Maybe I'm not quite as daft as I thought. Ian.

    It wasn't on the three occasions I've fished there and I can't find any reference to it on their website. Perhaps I missed that bit? Ian.

    I have to agree with your take on the bailiffs at Horseshoe. They seem to revel in being important, some to a greater degree than others. I've fished the water on many occasions but never really felt welcome there. Ian.

    When I reached the age of 70 I thought I'd better start acting like a grown up. Didn't like it so I've gone back to being a pillock. Far happier now. Ian.

    Just my opinion? Use a standard size 8 swivel. Ok, so PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction known to man but we're asked to believe that this helps with rig alignment when this relatively small device is lying amongst whatever detritus is in the area of the landed rig. The PTFE thing is more a marketing ploy than a mechanical advantage. Once again, just my opinion. Ian.

    Well, I've had a forage through the far reaches of the shed and found several old method feeders. I'd even got a couple of the large, elasticated ones but they're in the bin as potentially hazardous in the case of a break-off. Favourite among the rest are some quite large, three-vaned ones by Korda which I intend to use. I'll report back with results, if any. Ian.

    Today's Thought? I'd really hoped that growing old would take much longer than this. 😗 Ian.

    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.

    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.

    Hi Rugby, welcome amongst us. Ian.
  31. welder
    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.
  32. welder
    It's no good being daft if you don't show it. 😄 Ian.

    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.
