  1. The beach is about 2mins drive from my home, I count myself as extremely fortunate mate đź‘Ť
  2. Well done fella, nice result
  3. Awesome capture mate, very well done đź‘Ť
  4. Managed a 3lb bass, not bad for the first bass trip of the season.
  5. 20 lugworm for tomorrows dawn - low tide, see if the bass have arrived yet.
  6. That’s a cracker Yonny, well done mate
  7. He wanted to catch his first pike recently, he only had one…
  8. Few hours this morning with the boy so he could try catch one before heading back to his mums and school 12lb 8oz, made him happy
  9. I prefer to think I taught him everything he knows… although I blanked… lol!
  10. this is my sons pb mirror that went 29lb - we were doing a night in a double swim, fishing identical baits, rigs, etc to a reedbed off an island. My son had 8 that night, topped by this otherwise unknown mirror. I blanked! he’s just done a new pb common of 26lb 5oz this week.
  11. Taught him well mate! (Little too well… 🙄)
  12. I’ve never seen a pizza machine in the uk!
  13. I use the esp ones with korda leadcore mate, without any issues, one thing I do after removing the lead wire section prior to splicing the loop is pinch the end of the leadcore and above the break of the lead wire and loosen the braided section up, that way it splices easier.
  14. I’ve always used the ESP ones mate, they come several in a pack and I’ve got one or two that have lasted years. The korda ones have done me well, but something so fine wire will break sooner or later I reckon
  15. My son and I had a few hours out today in the spring sunshine. I had a 6lb common, my boy had: 26lb 5oz new pb common 13lb common
  16. Every time I go fishing, my wife places her hands on my head and says a prayer to the fish gods! Lol! I insist on it now, otherwise I blank… 🙄
  17. If they’re the smaller ones mate, I want a ticket! Well done fella, cracking result!
  18. That makes sense, I put the spinner swivel through the eye so the opening of the spinner swivel is the side of the point, then shrink tube it in place, I’ve landed cats to 55lb on that set up and it didn’t shift
  19. I’ve had a few of the slimy critters on 12mm fish meal pop ups, over a kilo of premier fishmeal bottom baits. I wouldn’t target them, but they don’t half fight! This lake doesn’t have much in the way of silvers, it has a small head of carp that are rarely targeted, not sure what the cats feed on, maybe the silver population is stronger than I think, no one targets them, so how would we know? There’s no cormorants though…
