I caught this one while it was absolutely chucking it down about this time last year, the downpour made me think I had no chance and was going to be on the end of a two night blank. Luckily this one ignored the script and I was happy to get a soaking. Packing up in the rain wasn't much fun though. But you won't catch em at home.

Very smart, I did notice the fish outside at the garden centre had slowed down a bit the other day, weren't so bothered about the pellets floating on the top. Hopefully won't be long till it's British record time 😎

I use the fox tadpole set up with solid bags and leaders, because you remove the original insert on the fox lead, they have a decent sized hole that easily comes off the tadpole insert which is kind of designed to be like a shock system if that makes sense 😂

Not really, sometimes get the odd bit of weed on the knot but nothing you wouldn't probably get otherwise.

Yeah I always use loop to loop, never had an issue.

It would appear we have been blessed with a spam javelin.

Yeah weed, pretty much stops it on the lake I fish.

Cant wait thanks. After last year's success, I fancy making it my winter go to this year.

I'm getting keen to get the flips flops out again.

I agree with the others, you might as well have a bash at those whackers, you've got the ticket and you may as well, you might find you enjoy it when you catch another one. That being said I couldn't be bothered to go tonight, I was so tired last night I couldn't be harrised to sort my kit out just to rush before dark, so I didn't 😂 You might find the banks are a bit quieter now and that might help you to enjoy it. Rather than comparing it to the other place look at the challenge you are faced with and think how best to catch them whackers.

No I'm not either, I am doing an overnighter Friday that's probably it for the month 😂 Well done Kev some absolute crackers and sounds like you got it sussed. Good observation on the spots too. It made me think how often I expected to catch more but hadn't. Not something I would usually even consider tbh 👍

Once it clears though you will be able to wakeboard behind the catfish though 😂

You should try would be fun getting dragged up the towpath for miles 😂

Use big pellets,you can get some nice 17mm Aller aqua bream chokers 😂

That's what I thought too, you could buy a sack of pellets for that.
