Just brought 2kg of Robin red direct from Haiths, 100 10mm cork balls, some belachan flavour and maple flavour time to start knocking up the pop ups and bait for the next few months 👍🏻

Welcome buddy

Good luck fella 🤞🏼

Nice brace of commons there buddy, nice early spring result!

Great result buddy 👍

The boys swim

Overnighter on the river last night, I had a screaming take… …from a badger!! 🙄

could you use one of these fox leads to have a lead about? It’s not a weed rake after all… might help clear a few spots

I used to spray them with WD40 and wipe off the excess prior to a wet and windy session which improved this somewhat, yet my boys “budget” fox mini microns at £20 a pop have got completely soaked, dropped, stored in a damp garage covered in mud and all he’s ever had to do is change the batteries once in the last 2 years. They’ve never missed a beat Well a night in front of the log burner has dried them right out and solved the issue, so I guess it was moisture in the alarm as suspected

I checked delkim website mate, they no longer support the Delkim EV as they are over 10yrs old 🙄

I’m gonna pop it in there tonight and see how we get on. I’ve had lots of water ingress issues with delks in the past so it probably has something to do with it

Yes, I’m having another issue with another alarm… I have a set of 3 Delkim EV alarms that have been stored for about 2yrs, they were my boys alarms, the red and green alarms still work well, but the blue one wasn’t used for ages as he only had a 2 rod set up. I’ve dug them out and changed the batteries so I could use them for a second set up and when I changed the battery in the blue alarm (which was totally dead) it just screams like I’ve had a ripping take. I’ve tried cleaning the alarm, but no joy. Any idea what the issue is? It worked fine before being stored away in its case in the shed.

To be fair, my water fishes so damn slowly through the winter that it could have been muted for months and I wouldn’t have noticed 🙄

Embarrassed confession time buddy… it was on mute… 🫣

Standard mate. Many thanks mate, I’ll check that out 👍
