  1. I missed this but gotta add, you're well off with Bezza, most hated man in the valley and known throughout as poacher extraordinaire. My mate who's the BCSG Carp Historian was far from impressed when I joined his lakes, in fact he was fuming said he'd never fish his waters and gave me grief for doing so. I stupidly used him as a reference to get on Urchy, never heard back, should have used anyone but him - Doh! 😀
  2. They say you have to move the heron regularly for it to work, I felt like it was attracting them lol I'm imagining some sort of line of wire or string around the sides a bit like the electric wire for otters, say 3 layers of it, but then you cant have the heron sitting on the top edge if they can still reach the water from there. Tricky!
  3. Herons are a pain, they lifted a few carp out of my pond that were too big to eat so he left them on the lawn to suffocate prob 5lb plus each. I got a fake heron which might have helped as little but couldn't say for sure. I'd say net it or some sort of barrier on the sides so they cannot land, they leave like an oily substance on the surface when they've been in. ðŸĪŽ ðŸ‘Ž
  4. Been using the HD for a couple of years having also used Hydro Tuff, both seem good to me.
  5. I've trained him to do it behind your bivvy, then we'll get you banned and stick rods in your vacant plot! Edgy! 👍
  6. Right I've had it with this Kev's corner business - back off, I have a dog and not afraid to set him loose! So you better have some snacks or be pestered to death! ðŸĪŽ
  7. Seriously though these are a great design, so simple 👌
  8. Is Kev's corner! ðŸĪŠ
  9. Just fitted my new rod locks ready for spring - hopefully no more flying rods 😆
  10. Can you not get 3 handles off another Daiwa that's similar - may cost less than chasing one rare handle?
  11. Been a great watch as always, Mat is a great all rounder including the fly, not many do everything let alone well. Didn't know until recently that Mick Brown is the only paid full time pike angler, amazing!
  12. Yeah I do think the one's I bought would have caught fish and maybe more than usual when they were fresh with active ingredients. I just tend to fish match the hatch more often that not and nothing more important than where you put it anyway.
  13. Looks decent 👍
  14. The Fortis Tundra salopettes are the best clothing item I've bought recently, waterproof and very warm indeed. I bought the matching coat but in hindsight I'g go for their marine jacket instead as I cannot see me using the Tundra coat as I'm already warm enough in the salopettes. Already got lightweight waterproof trousers and jacket but would look at the Fortis Marine stuff if I didn't 👍 Whilst the Catchdry coat may be good, for me personally it's too long and bulky - cant see that being suitable for days roving the river or carp stalking, but were all different. Fortis looked at the serious competition (Geoff Anderson) and made stuff that probably almost matches but at a much lower pricepoint, serious clothing for serious anglers I'd say so you get what you pay for, but the pricepoint of Fortis is much lower than Grundens and Geoff Anderson. Serious carp clothing was long overdue so well done Fortis I say.
  15. Whilst I should play it down - last 3 trips were successful to a degree and all fish taken on Halibut Pellet wafters that barely smell of anything and very dull. Proves the point really, who are the special specials attractive to? US!
