    I just saw this on Amazon.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/BZS-Fishing-Weights-Selection-Smooth/dp/B09KY6T9GH/ref=pd_bxgy_sccl_1/259-1730419-7268639?pd_rd_w=p0WOU&content-id=amzn1.sym.79b812bf-5c8b-4c0c-851c-784423adaff5&pf_rd_p=79b812bf-5c8b-4c0c-851c-784423adaff5&pf_rd_r=9B8SGJ28FGTEY55AAEQQ&pd_rd_wg=6N7UT&pd_rd_r=143d035a-dde4-4935-a197-a47a078239db&pd_rd_i=B09KY8DHVH&th=1&psc=1

    So, these use Zinc as an alternative to lead. Has anyone tried them and would these have any issue.

    I suspect these are the future as I think lead is slowly being banned around the world.

    Been using these for the last 2 yearsIMG_20220701_203516176_HDR.thumb.jpg.888ccbf4c7fb2f380a7fb7e5cbe38567.jpg

    I have used a 110 ah leisure battery for years no problem.  Put frozen food and milk in bottom of cool box. fresh food milk on top.

    No need to run cool box 24/7 .Keep the lid closed . just run the cool box for an hour once and a while.

    Battery will last a good week including charging my phone and running the tv/dvd.

    That’s good  going I’d be happy with a 22lber Lol 

    What sort of bait would you recommend for baiting up?

    was thinking about getting a bulk amount of maize and mixing with a few boilies and chucking that in.

    I’m gonna go take a look on my next day off and explore the area.

    thanks for the advice much appreciated.👍

     

     

    At the moment It's a few handfuls of boilies and tiger nuts when you find them. Less and often is the way to go. i give it about 4hrs if no action i move to the next area.

    Have pre baited a few places but not fish them yet as being mobile is working out ok.

    @malcfish 

    thanks for the reply I know people won’t give up information on spots as such but any advice to point me in the right direction is much appreciated.

    is that the nene parkway side where they go canoeing?
    I was thinking about getting a kayak to get on the river to search for spots that are out the way.

     

     

    There's no spots as such it's about areas. Where there's lots of bream there's carp. lol need big baits to pick them out. 

    It's been fishing well the last few trips 5 out so far to 22lbs . Not found the big ones yet. It's best to stay mobile bait up and fish when you find them.

    most coming out early morning. only one out in night.

    Weird  question

     What is the heaviest groundbait you can get? As want to start baiting up the river. But its quite deep and balls to break up slowly. 

    Was thinking vitalin or maybe a method  mix. 

    I dont really want to be messing round with soils and leams as it all gets a bit complicated

     

    Vitalin mix 50/50 with plain brown crumbs great binder add anything you like. best mixed up has you need it ,
