You need an intervalometer buddy. Best 12 quid you'll ever spend.

I'm getting the same error.

I agree Rob. Early spring was a nightmare, those cold easterlies kept killing it. But after that mega hot period allowed the water to warm up properly the easterlies have done us a favour imo. Lovely warm days with changeable fronts coming in intermittently has meant if I've been able to get on them they've been very catchable.

I forgot that was the thought of the day thread!! Sorry lol

That's what I thought lol

I know the chap that landed that 100 lb cat from Bluebell Swan on a zig (10 lb hook link). Mental.

That is ridiculous mate, it would certainly offend me too.

Might explain it?

Yes you can buddy..... it's a tough decision and a relatively big one at that. You don't buy new reels every day of the week eh.... All great reels. They're ugly, heavy, noisy..... but they last forever. My mate got a set of the C14's. When he got back off his first session with them the bail arm on one had bent in the rod bag. He hadn't dropped the bag or anything. Typical Shimmy imo.... amazing out of the box, don't stay that way. Daiwa in comparison aint great out of the box, but they stay in that same shape for years, and years, and years, and...... The only shimmy I'd get is either the old Long Cast (which I had until even they died after about 6/7 years) or the Tech Mags but they're ££££££££££££........................ The newer lightweight reels from both shimmy and Daiwa are light because they're made from plastic.

Old skool flavour 😊

Nah, silver buddy.

I did replace them buddy with SS3000'S. The three are down to 1.5 tonnes now😜

I'd keep the BR's for when the c14's fail after a couple of seasons😲

Only the tubing version. The standard version is fine.

I'm the same B.C., always carries a spare set in my car since I left mine at home once a couple of years ago. Honestly, I'd rather go fishing without bait (loose-feed anyway) than without my sunnies. They play a massive part in my fishing.

I agree mate. There should be some kind of ruling in place that anglers are made aware of such issues imo.

Mint.

A cat would be hard enough to land on a 12 ft zig without branches mate lol....

I lived in Frisby for 2 years and walked round the main lake almost every night looking for the bigger fish that were said to be in there. Never saw anything bigger than a mid 20 common (the one with the little orange birth mark that's still in there I believe). There was a stocking a few years ago but they seemed to go nowhere for some reason, not good growers. The lake itself looks perfect for carp, it has everything, but for some reason it's never produced anything of note. Get your net dried out properly @B.C. as they had confirmed KHV either last year or the year before mate.

Get down TK Maxx, if you're lucky you'll pick up some top-of-the-line walking boots (Berghaus, Merrell etc) for 20 or 30 quid. Failing that get down Sports Direct and pick up a pair of Karrimor's (or sometimes they have Solomon's in which are really good boots). No need to spend big on boots imo.

I found over 24 hrs the rig ring will lie flat on the deck where they're suspended when you first whack them out. But I'm really particular about my buoyancy (too particular probably). Those Hell's absolutely stink don't they!!

Banging recipe (especially the Hell's with all that butyric) but I found the buoyancy was absolutely rubbish mate!

LOL! Not this time mate I've used them myself as well as his GTX cork balls. Real good hook baits buddy, particularly in spring. Matt is also very helpful when it comes to sourcing special or rarer flavours/additives!

They are decent Rob.

Free Spirit, miles better than Greys imo.
