  1. Great stuff well done 👏 Nice fish too 👌😎
  2. Oh I'm good with a stick now, became my go to at the end on Welly, matching pop-ups over a light spread with the stick, surprising how accurate you get. At first they were falling behind me, too embarrassing! I think with the spoon the flexible handle has to be the one to add distance 👍
  3. I've tried this with a landing net pole and my big Fox scoop thing, hopeless - couldn't get any distance, but then I gave up on the throwing stick after the first session - took years before I tried again and got it sorted lol Good luck Elmo - a made for the job one has to be the way to go. 👍
  4. Waiting on 3 purchases woohoo! Aqua Black front barrow bag - replacing my old Carp Porter front food bag, not totally sure on this one coz not a food bag as such, but should do the job. 🤞 Power barrow wheel bag, existing is too small. Cotswold Wader bag - ready for Fortis Waders, out end of March apparently - like the look of this bag - like a bucket with lid so you can set waders up ready and keep in the bag/bucket with lid on to keep them dry and ready next to the rods, no more faffing about when the rain starts or forgetting and having wet waders 😎
  5. Finally got a power barrow after over a years wait between BCUK and eventually Carp Porter. First impression it's the nuts (CarpPorter Fat Boy Mk2), looking forward to putting it through its' paces from next weekend onwards 👍
  6. Hi mate, It's not battery so has to stay plugged in, I've got the Atom battery pack with 3 pin plug socket, hopefully it won't drain it too much - will let you know how it goes. 👍
  7. Should be adjustable low - high for brightness, mine had a wheel on the side. Got the newer versions now USB charged jobbies. The older ones were 4 x AA Batteries i.e the version before yours. 👍
  8. Just ordered this for Jack, hopefully keep him comfortable at night when it's freezing cold in the bivvy.
  9. NO - but tuff titty, he's coming anyway 🤣 He does love getting home tbh
  10. I know the Nick Buss X Lites are very well thought of, I looked at those when getting the Chris Orme Torrix. Bring you luck - I'll try my best mate 👌
  11. The Aviator Plus 12.6 have accepted the challenge 😂
  12. Jack was soon back in the bivvy Sunday morning, heavy frost and ice in the edge, who can blame him.
  13. Just sent my Torrix TE's to be re-built by the Tackle Box, not decided which handles to go with yet but think they'll come back looking stunning when finished ❤️
  14. Never any pressure, just go to enjoy, if you catch you catch, if not so what - you've had a nice time with good people and learnt something. If blanking mattered I'd never choose the venues I do. Catching is for noddies 😂
  15. Another night, oposite end - seen a dorsal waving around close in my water, then it lazily shuffled out 3 times. Whilst packing up it came past again to say goodbye or haha you blanked you nod. Freezing cold overnight. Good frost and ice in the edge.
  16. I know a guy who has encountered many otters in his work, he warned me to keep my spaniel away from a big dog otter, said it would rip him to pieces, they are about 4ft long tbf. A friend of a friend walked his staffy along the Grand Union Canal local to me, an otter followed them, got out and chased them off. Sky's a big dog thankfully 👍
  17. Really need a fence with overhang and 2 electric wires near the bottom. But as has been said even with everything in place the fence still needs checking daily for damage/fallen branches, electric still working. Then some clown leaves the gate open 🤷‍♂️

    Yeah I dont think you actually see it in that, but I have seen a video where Frank demonstrates it on a lake.
