Torture! 🙃

IMO the fishery manager was weak letting them get away with that, vacate the swim or you're banned would be my take on it.

Friend of mine was getting mouth damage in Italy, problem seemed to be the 15lb supple braid cutting the corners of the mouth. Think he just upped the BS, it was odd and out the blue - no previous issues. 🤷‍♂️

Oh I'd be so angry, I'd have gone home absolutely raging after giving them what for - so bad!!! So those guys just moved the sign and got away with it. 🤬

I like this, when the fish have seen it all I find myself tying a standard hair with a bottom bait and tiny funnel web of crumb- simple as it gets, and works 👍 No baiting just a trap in the zone.

She doesnt look too impressed by Nick tbf Earned a treat yeah - where is it? Hmmm 🤣 George had a thing about mice in the garage, was like a kid jumping up and down at the door to have a sniff round and check the traps every night. Brilliant ❤️

It wasn't until I encountered rats all over the swim, on the bivvy, everywhere - on a day ticket complex that I decided I needed a new dog if I was to enjoy fishing again. I didn't feel ready for a new dog (6 months) but my daughter found one and put a deposit down in the hope I'd like it too - it was a great move looking back. Still think of George daily but a new dog does help, we are supposed to have them at the end of the day being dog people - there's one out there waiting for you to give it a great life, that's how I see it anyway. ❤️👍

I feel for you mate, such a gut wrenching loss for anyone. Jack is my 2nd cocker, food obsessed, silly as anything but I wouldn't choose anything else now - maybe a staffy as his companion in the future. I look forward to seeing the pics, Casper sounded like a cracker ❤️

Yes mate they are very easy to get in, the boots thick and low so stays in shape, the fabric is 3 different layers of lightweight stuff so they fold down and pull up easily. They go right upto my arm pits so will be able to wade out further with more confidence, adjustable at the waist so not overly baggy it you don't want that. Comes with repair kit and wader bag with mesh sides. I'm not using that obvs. Said to be breathable so may be able to keep them on without getting too hot.

Fortis waders arrived last week - look good 😎👍

Thin it right down and be clever and carpy OR buy a power barrow and take more 🤣🙃

What heavier than the Ridgemonkey Std 1 Man bivvy - never lol Just put my back out thinking about it 😂

You could buy a jar of prepared maize just for hook baits as you can see how big it is through the jar or use a plastic version 👍

Braid is savage for spodding. I've had to change to the Wolf spod. Was doing 3 times the amount of casts to get the baiting done 👎 Spod always opened with mono, hit clip, line stretches, spod opens every time 💥
