I think you'll like it mate. I'm gonna use mine for fishing later in the week as my club are now allowing boats on one of the lakes.

Tried it out earlier, it's a tidy little boat. So easy to use and control and glides across the lake and turns on a sixpence. Doubt if you'd got more than a kilo combined in both hoppers but that's plenty for me. Not sure what it would be like in very windy conditions as its so light.

It was 8 months old, paid 140 with a nice padded bag. I like the headlight position, it's raised so should give good visual at night and it's so small and light. The proof will be tomorrow when I try it out on water.

Mate have a look at the six pack revolution. 2 of my friends have done it it this year. Their results have been amazing.

I bought one of these second hand last night. Gonna have a play about with it tomorrow after work. I'll let you know how I find it.

It all depends what your target is mate. I've had some nice size roach and rudd on smaller pieces of prawn and smaller hooks but if I'm trying to target the bigger perch then it is big baits and size 4s all the way.

I use a size 4 when fishing with prawns mate. You could go smaller and use a smaller piece of prawn but I will generally use a whole one.

I just use a 10ft match rod. 8lb mainline and a 4-6lb hook link mate.

I'd say live bait too but most places ban it and a lot of anglers don't like doing it so I don't really mention it. Plus when using prawns I've had carp to 20 plus and some nice tench so it makes it great fun on the float rod.

Or prawns.

I don't weigh a lot of fish. Unless its a special looking one or if its one of the bigger residents I don't really bother.

Nah. Tried that one, ended up with an earache.

Well I'm on the beer tonight so I'll see how I feel in the morning.

I had the same last Thursday. Woke up at 3am and my throat was on fire. Immediately went into panic mode. Took some paracetamol and went back to sleep, when I woke a few hours later the sore throat was gone but had a proper headache and earache. Been on antibiotics since last Friday but still got the headache and earache.

Just had a phone call from my mate who I fish the secret lake with. There has been a bloke fishing down there for 4 days. Not hiding like we do, blatantly set up so anyone can see him. He's just been moved on by the police.

Green, brown black etc, I've got no problem using any dark colours. Never noticed any difference myself. I'm more worried about what the carp feel rather than see.

Stay away from the k9 mate. Had them for a couple of years and all the dials kept falling off. The s9 look a lot better to be fair and are cheaper than the k9 too.

I'm gonna just watch fishing videos till I fall asleep tonight and see if that does the trick. Have a good night guys.

I'll be honest my anxiety has been through the roof the last couple of days. Didn't make it any better when I found out one of my mates has it today. Went proper panicky for about half an hour with really bad chest pains. Hate feeling like this, think I need to start doing something to take my mind off things but it's hard to occupy the brain when you are stuck indoors all day.

Surely you should be on the vulnerable list due to your previous health condition mate. Take care mate.

I'm a seasonal asthmatic so don't know how this might affect me but I'm also a smoker but will be doing my best to give up over the coming days. I must admit I wasn't that worried about it until my mate told me what his wife had told him. Scary times ahead. Stay safe mate.

Sorry mate. Was quoting you to agree about what you said about world leaders doing this for a reason, not having a dig. 😊

They are doing it cause this isn't a flu virus. There's no way we would be shutting down. My friends wife works at guys hospital in London. The numbers of critical and dying are much worse than being published, they are trying not to panic people. She said they have over 300 in a critical condition just in that one hospital and that most patients can't even lie on there backs as they can't breathe when they do. Stay safe and stay indoors.

They are saying that you have to buy a 48 hour ticket in case anybody becomes ill in that time. Once the 48 hours is complete if you are well and there is room you can buy another ticket upto 48 hours. To be fair it's a good idea.
