Agreed! also what you've said about the scales is bang on, got the flyweights for pike, perch, chub and carp stalking, gonna swap them in and put the bigger ones in the car - nice one cant believe I didn't do that years ago! 👍

There is enough free stuff online to learn from and quickly no doubt, however some things are said over and over but are not digested. How many anglers have said on film you need to watch the water, move onto fish yet how many actually do this? - barely any! I'll be stood out in the water for hours at dusk just watching and it actually makes people un-comfortable opposite - it's like what's he doing staring at the water, I'll shuffle about and hide in the bivvy again! Up at 8-9am, get up spod for no reason, no laps, no move, no watching - yet they've seen the same videos as everyone else. I guess it always comes back to are you camping or fishing? I've got a mate who will not move regardless, and doesn't watch the water, got the technical set-ups right but a bit lazy with that too, hook points etc Really he's camping to get away from it all which I understand totally but in his head he's doing everything that his hero Adam Penning does! Weird rant sorry everyone lol

I get it, I think it's the narration from his garden again, every video seems to follow this format so yeah they all seem the same 👍

That Speedboat Linear was something else 😎👌

Blimey wasn't ready for that - shocker, nearly passed out - negativity about the man, unheard of! 🤣 Not seen it yet gotta get some popcorn in - he could say anything at this point lol coolest carper ever! ❤️ Got my esp bucket hat and Fortis waders, just need the knitted jumper 🤪🙌 oh and catch something 👎

Mega fish - well done 😎 Great to not see otter damage for a change 👌

Thanks mate, yeah it has got a big head - should have done self takes with the camera but a mate was there. 🤷‍♂️ Could be Dinton, VS or home grown

One out the syndi Sunday morning 1st fish in 4 weekends, came after a change of presentation 👍

Kev's a legend, best videos and music by far - so funny although he's made me cringe a few time with his tightness, loaded but begging meals lol We've got Dintons being stocked in my current syndi and in the previous one they have almost reached 60lb - one particular batch of 8 have all gone 50+ great fish! There's another guy who's taken UK fish abroad, France and Italy pretty mad really and US fish Dale Hollow being bred here 😎👍

Someone has original leeney blood line in France, is doing some mixes and keeping some pure, Kev's fished there, think it was the first official trip (Fennsmere) or similar. There is a few in the UK still producing leeneys, and some of the cool UK strains have been saved, shame the Bluebell originals weren't done they were mega.

Lol well I do love it, this was 2 levels of grass with a 2 tonne concrete slab separating the two last year. Didnt know what to do and came up with this, not bad for its first growing year 👍

Another blank, another swims view sorted out but bad news this week, my target fish has passed 2 weeks back - gutted! 👎 Still I didnt join to catch a particular fish so nothings changed really, still loving the complex so carry on regardless 🤷‍♂️

Wow that laser thing is mad hey! I remember Tufties way back at Beedles lake diving all night non stop, what an absolute nightmare they are. My current friends are Brown ducks some with young - female Mallards maybe? Anyway they're clearing me out in 10 - 12ft

The joys of angling hey, good job we like wildlife or they'd get it at times for sure! 😆👍

Yes mate was using it, sometimes works amazingly - sometimes not at all it's a weird one with those. Firing out an empty spomb works but last resort which is why I went to feeding them floaters instead. Seems like the gits are just in this swim tbh 🤣

Duck free lol aaaagh!!! On the plus side I learnt to fill them up with mixers late evening Saturday, that worked - no more diving and 3 passing single fish stopped and had a few too, Sunday morning they weren't too much trouble. Before that basically all day Saturday they destroyed my 2 spots - I reckon they've eaten about 15kilo over the last 2 weekends most of which was boilie! So much for getting spots going 👎 I did catch one (a duck) Saturday early evening and that did scare them off for a while, tapped him on the beak and called him 'Stupid', that showed him lol Next 6 weeks I'm in work on Fridays so will be getting there late or going early Saturday. I need to find where these fish do their early morning feeds because I'm not getting enough traffic in this part of the lake and the ducks well they're just being ducks - and lots of them. Might need a complete change of approach going forward tbh

Yeah dropped about a foot and a half to what it looks like is the natural level, it's mega, got 3-4 foot in the edge in most places still. Pressure drop and rain, hopefully I'll guess the right section if none spotted, but wind is swinging mid session. In it to win it 😎👍

View from last weekend, got excited with my bait mix smashed it all in then had duck wars over it all night lol On the plus side I found what feels like a banging area so might well be back on that tonight, less bait lol 🤞

Certainly does and much better than the new craze of massive bums - just enormous, lip fillers etc etc look like freaks tbh bring back the old days!

Back on it post spawning, great to be back out at long last.

Blimey they were about that price 30 years back - that is great value 😎

I've seen people moaning about the new ones still, wouldn't touch with a barge pole tbh

That's amazing - and the cheeky sods! My mate spends a lot of time looking for stuff on facebook etc got the collecting bug from another friend. I've not got a fishing room, just fishing kit in every room, garage and attic 😀

Quality 👌😎 My mates got a fishing room, in progress - got ornaments of fish and everything lol I'm hoping to get a few for the mantlepiece - perch, pike and zander, but they're all good, he's got nearly all including the super rare carp. Not got a thing about nets, just annoyance that mine don't match - hmmm ££££ cost inbound 😀
