Quite ironic really , its not a problem to fish for Pregnant fish, fat footballs ,rolled around on a mat then weighed and photographed for a PB , but as soon as they spawn its a no no , your spawn of Satin if you do whilst spawning.
Doesnt seem to apply to France,even the owners wont close and refund you , when you spend hundreds of pounds for a holiday , the times I have read , The fish were spawning the time we were their only caught a few . they never packed up and came home .
Spawning fish dont eat whilst they are doing it ,but are hungry afterwards .

you'll be alright can post what you like in here 
even stupid memes
 

Lad just been to JMO Foitball in Skelmersdale this afternoon to do a Trial.... He's got to play for North West England of England now... Got chosen to go back for an 8 week training, then if successful through that, plays for England in Barcelona next year.

the arms race is on i have one of these on order i figured so long as i only use it from my own peg all's fair. 
i give you soon to be marketed in the uk, the boat blaster 5000 I can see nothing in the rules of fisheries or more importantly the ethics and etiquette of carp angling that could prevent an angler from deploying such equipment when fishing a lake. 
 

got the new barrow went proper Scottish on it which can be a problem when you have a very old Warwickshire accent  of which i am very fond of, as it got it from my grandparents. had some cheeky git say a i sounded like a hobbit from lor, i'll take that i thought.
anyhow the barrow, sponsored by Tesco gold label tea.
 

got that stealth fighter look darth vader would look  part sitting up on that back tray.
 

What a dire session I couldn't bag a goldfish at this rate don't think that chunk of river water helped to top it the ducks have been hitting my gear without any remorse.

Airing the fishing stuff out before I put it away and the dog has took a liking to the bed chair 😂

Nearly there now guys 👍

Screen came this afternoon... 

Well, little lads England trials have been put back 2 weeks to the 26rh June.... So
Tomorrow he has his last game of the season, then some of the footy lads coming round our house to watch the England game. 

Projector going the table on right, portable 100"  projector screen going on left. 
 

I apologise if I have posted some of this on here before but I thought you might like to see a little piece of recent aerial history.
This is my very first aerial photo of one of the lake I fish.
 

 
The shot was taken by a camera dangling below a kite. The camera was taking pictures by intervalometer and the direction was adjusted by radio control. To give an Idea of how this was done take a look at this (rather poor quality) you tube clip.
 
 
 
I then spent a small fortune on one of the very first drones called a Mikrokopter. This had no GPS or stabilisation. You had to actually fly it by increasing and decreasing the speed of each motor.  It was almost impossible to do that AND pay attention to what you were filming. Here is a clip of my very first video taken from my back yard.
 
 
 
Eventually I bought a DJI Spark which I still use today although I would love to buy a new Mavic Mini 2. Even so it discovered my current favourite fishing spot which I keep entirely to myself. This last YouTube clip shows just how useful a drone can be.
 
 

New Forest 2017 .WW2 Airfield @ Stoney Cross , lots of open space where i learnt to fly it.

The camera is no different to normal camera , without zoom .
So 50 yds away its difficult to recognise a face ,no different if you were to photograph someone at 50 yds 

DJI Phantom , so easy to fly ,tons of youtube video , 4K resolution and 100% no wobble with the camera in the air , auto take off and land , fuly GPS controlled , Absolutely amazing .

I do have the camera for it , not the Winch camera but the forward facing one 

Much safer than a pendulum cast 🙂

RT4 Element .
Arrived yesterday , just back from testing it out at the lake.
