[No Win, No Fee]

I thought "No win No fee "was exactly that no win and you pay no fees.

But ,if you won then you get all the compensation, ect, and they get all there fees back via the other party and not you.

At least that how i thought it worked

[Bait boat and deeper]

Yep you can do that , maybe use a wire trace just incase a Pike has a go.

[Spam Bomb]

Just had a PM ,Defiantly not fishing related

[Cradles]

I have the Fox XL unhooking matt , i think its now called "Fox Easy Matt" now , its good but only really for fish in the low 20s, IMO

I also have a shimano matt with sides ,larger than the my Fox XL  ,very similar to the Fox carpmaster deluxe , which is great for Larger fish.

The sides dont squash down on the Shimano like the Fox XL does if the fish flips.

I have never liked Cradles at least the ones i have seen . 

[TRAIL CAM]

Could anyone suggest a good reasonably priced (£150 -300) Trail Cam .
MUST be totally non visible at night , ie No LEDs showing.
Cheers

 Its a long way off so  alot can change , but i would be up for it , shame i wasnt around much ,would have loved the last one .

[Is there a difference]

1    Capacity: 307.2Wh/26Ah @12V/96000mAh @3.2V

.............................................................................................................................

2    Capacity: 96000mAh at 3.2V

Battery pack capacity: 12.8V /24000mAh/307.2Wh

......................................................................................................................

These figures are from two different power packs ,

the figures seem the same but are not , can anyone tell me is this correct or a typo from the manufacturer.

[Vallee lakes France]

Some years ago now ,the lakes you refer to got a right slagging off by many people who had fished there , it may be different now , 

Look it up on CarpForum there  was lots to read.

[Where do you normally purchase your fishing tackle?]

Poingdestre's or online

[New purchases]

Waiting for some Pike and Perch lures to arrive form Temu.

[To Goo or not to Goo]

I have used the Korda Goo Match fishing on the tip and have not seen it make any difference to my catch rate , it also hasnt hindered it either. 

[GOLD]

Forget a metal detector , the biggest nugget you'll likely to find will only be a gram or so , most of the gold is the size of a pin head as in my picture.

Knowing roughly where you are , its unlikely youll have gold in it , but who knows .

I believe the gold runs ,Scotland ,Wales ,Cornwall in that line , but im in no way an expert .

[RT7 all-in-one controller]

Youll be best off asking Carplounge

[Is Delkim the best bite alarm and why?]

The Best are Delkim and Fox , the rest come in somewhere close behind .

I appreciate others have there favorite faultless alarms ,but they are only second to those above.

[Personal Bests]

My Personal Best is over 40lbs , my BEST fish is 23lbs 12ozs caught around 25 years ago i guess , i remember every thing about that capture as it was my first 20 and can still see it all in my mind , that fish will live in my mind forever.

[2023 social- who's up for it??]

Wish i could have joined you all , Excellent you all had a great time .

[When it goes off, it goes off]

One either side is my of my rods is my preference now .

[When it goes off, it goes off]

Just about to weigh a Carp and the second rod goes off , zip it up in the sling and drop back into lake , play second fish net it,     and then the third rod goes off , 

The next hour was spent weighing ,photographing and resetting rods back out .
