I had to read that twice I thought , what an ass lol

Jack and Jill are very busy by all accounts

Good to see Millscum got beat .... Keeps em down 'there' with the Blunts

Will it suspend with a sinking bait though Neal ?

How big is your controller float ? If it's a smaller sized one you could try a Giz ? A boilie fished a few inches below the surface ? A zig just below the surface would probably be far more effective though as would plain old straightforward float fishing . A controller float is obviously designed for floater fishing so if you want to try it out that badly then you really need to find a lake that allows it

Apology accepted sir

T-6 Raptors ? Or the Muggas are not a million miles away and probably sharp

I don't mind , or care for that matter , what people's views are on any topic . It's a free (within reason) forum for people to air their opinions full stop. I object to being brought into it purely because it was Jon's post that Philip took a dislike to . It probably would have been the same were it 'liking' a post of yours or several other forum members i could mention but won't . Other forum members would have 'got away with it'. It was uncalled for and I'm disappointed though not in the least surprised that the post is still there , unedited . Despite my actually physically requested it be.

I can categorically confirm that a Wafter is a pop up that didn't get enough cork dust added to the mix. I know , I've made enough of 'em

I've left it a week to respond to this in the hope that somebody on here with some clout would delete the last paragraph . I'm sure you know already anyway but , for the benefit of everybody else , I reported your post to admin because I thought , and still do think that that last paragraph is bang out of order . Whether I considered the initial Cyborx post to be mildly amusing by way of tongue in cheek is neither here nor there to anybody else and if there had been a 'found the post to be mildly amusing' button then I would have mildly amused it .... In its absence the like button was the nearest option . I reported it , as I say , in the hope that admin/mods would remove the uncalled for snide comment but a week on its become obvious that THAT isn't going to happen and I'm not surprised about THAT either which would have saved me the trouble of posting In an argument I had no intention of getting involved in . Sad . Very sad.

As you can imagine Dan I am a total novice so have a lot of reading ahead of me in the next coupla days. I understand that a proper mixture of appropriate Plantage in the pond keeps the oxygen up and therefore keeping nitrogen at a safe level . Does that sound right ?

I'll take that on board Jon . I believe the pond she's buying has "all the bits" included so I'm just hoping that includes the ph thingy too

Glad to hear it Mark . I'm told a couple of small Tench in the pond will keep the bottom free of any rotting food , any truth in that cos I believe my dear old dad did that years ago . Just didn't put it as politely as that

Mmmm I can imagine . I need to do some reading up on this Ph balance lark . Chemistry was never my strong point as you can tell from my bait thread contributions

Well she'll do it Jon whether I agree or not anyway but I'm the one that'll end up looking after it .

How are your fish Mark ? We are putting a pond into our back yard and I'm obviously looking st getting a few Carpy creatures ... Any advice for me ?

Anything produced by Trakker needs to be good at the price they charge for it .

I concur , cheap as chips low diameter sinks well if required , can't go wrong

I TOLD you not to start .....

I think that's it . I know the thread has deviated off topic (for a change:)) but I wonder what everyone else thinks ?

Huh fat chance ....

Well I sometimes had the bottom bead 2ft from the lead and the top bead well way from that so maybe that's the difference with a naked Choddy set up . Do most people using heli set ups have the beads close together so the hook length actually can't move along the line/leader ?

Always good to hear of an angler so open minded when it comes to different situations Adam but do you not agree that a Chod has to be fished slack and is a helicopter set up ?

Strangely enough we had a few young chickens that mostly turned out to be roosters so we had to get rid of em ( an old pigeon fancier friend of my dads did the deed for me ) but not before SOMETHING had got into the cage and ripped the guts out of one of them . Yuk . Even stranger , I have no interest in birds or animals of any kind except those with fins . I just get lumbered with all the jobs that involve getting out of bed early
