    This is great news mate. Six acres is big enough for you to feel under-gunned with short rods and fish showing long imo.

    I agree. A trophy shot is a trophy shot but the bloopers really bring back the memories of a capture. Here's me getting a blistering take half way through a photo shoot 🤣🤣🤣

    I'm no expert with phone shots (I use a proper camera) but try Googling "Whistle Camera". There's several apps which allow you to take the shot by whistling hence no need for the remote. There's even one that will take the shot when it detects a smile I believe.

    Oddly I find it's more tricky when you get back. You really concentrate when you're over there but when I get back I relax a bit and start getting confused about being back on the right side lol.

    If you're confident in it, stick with it mate. Honestly, I wouldn't bother. Stick to boiled baits and your average weight over the week will normally be higher.

    If you buy their bait go with the CCM/Dynamite Elmo. European bait is rubbish.

    My best tip would be to take the exact same approach you would in the UK tackle wise mate. If you need extendables then you need extendables but other than that just treat it the same. No need to spend big on tackle for French waters imo. They're just carp so no need to go mental. Yes you will. Big fish have big appetites. I'd take 20 kg min.

    Yup! First time was awesome: Second time was really tricky:

    Dogs and fishing

    🤣Made me chuckle!

    Could be worse fella! There's some incredible carp in those waters. Good luck.

    Well you certainly made the most of it buddy! I love a nice long catch report and really enjoyed reading this. It sounds like the sesh had its ups and downs but ultimately you made your time on the bank count. Well done.

    I've seen this a few times. You cannot know until one of the known fish gets caught down in weight.

    I agree with Elmo. While I'm a Daiwa man their lower end reels don't do it for me. You're better off with Okuma or Penn at that price point. Don't even bother mate. It's cheap Indian rubbish.

    Yeah I know of loads of places that have started. Just keep an eye on the place you fish buddy. I always like to give them at least a couple of weeks rest after spawning personally.
  15. yonny
    Running out of time for the zigs imo mate. Once they've spawned it's time to get on the deck (on most waters anyway) until Dec/Jan depending on temps.

    Only reason I ordered the paper copy is the David Miller artwork on it lol! I still have the full set since he started doing the art and plan to frame the lot when they stop doing paper licenses. I reckon a full set will be worth money one day.
  17. yonny
    They already give the option of a paper license or soft copy. You no longer need to have the paper license, as long as you have your phone on you.

    Rules are rules when it comes to fisheries. You accept them or you don't fish imo. If you have no paper license you'd make sure to take your phone if the rules are you need to show the license surely? Just turn it off if you don't want calls. This makes no sense to me at all mate. If the fishery requires you have a license why not just show it to them? Awkward sod 🤣
  19. yonny
    From a commercial perspective this is all the more reason not to ask to see licenses! No one wants to turn customers away innit.

    For 50/60 yards I'd just use 50 lb braid straight through.

    I'd think that would be considered a zig. How deep is the lake? You might be forced to just try your best in the shallowest areas.

    REEL TECH based in March, Cambridge. Great service at a VERY good price. You'll find them on FB.
  23. yonny
    Why not just get them serviced? They don't make them like they used to mate.

    The beauty of having a good clear out is you can put all the pots through the dishwasher and have a massive stash of pots ready to start filling with various pop ups and glugs again......🤣

    Yes, he's still a mod as far as I know. Hardly ever see him on here now.
