I seem to recall Frank Warwick talking about this, he was lobbing singles much further than anyone else could and Pretending to be baiting up with normal boilies so no one sussed it

It was probably the couriers my handles came in a long rod tube and someone had been peeking in that to see if it was worth nicking, the end had been pulled out of it, what a world when you can't even trust the postal services, Don't ever use UPS, I found out the hard way they are proper crooked, oh and if you do don't use PayPal as they can overcharge you and just take money from you, they charged me an extra £40 for a bike they claimed was 6cm oversize, but would never show me the proof, just made it impossible to progress my claim 😭

That also reminds me lol, I actually switched from Inlines to leadclips as I wondered if having a 3oz inline flapping about in front of the fish wasn't helping during the battle,

Is that a continental breakfast? 😁

I had a similar run of losses this year I deduced there wasn't enough separation between the hook and the hook bait, and I wasn't hooking them far enough back in the mouth,

Don't you mean Welsh rare bit? Surely a Welsh person should think of that first 👀🙄👀🤔

Yeah I know about the evils of bread, but I still love a nice fresh one with some butter and cheese simply perfect 😁

I heard carp can get addicted to wheat in bait, which makes sense as I flipping love bread 😁

Bit like joining a religious cult taking up golf, start off hitting a ball round then end up being a member of the church of scientology and the KKK 😬🙄

That's a bit extreme, you would need a new thermos flask with a cup and saucer for that hobby 😁

I'm about the same, I started off the year losing nearly 2 stone then put it all back on and some since, and I think I am right up there with a new PB, this has got to be my no1 goal this year, maybe we could start a fishermans fat club thread where we are all accountable 😁

It's one of the best things to eat though I do love a bacon sarnie and a cuppa 🥓😍 Funnily enough I've made a beef saag to take to work with me today, I was even a good boy and made some for the misses 😂

I am also Maybe a bit too much lol, I almost preferred it when I could hate them with impunity now I think they could be a really useful tool, i might just stick to my guns though lots of people are using them on my lake, I did well enough last year and I think it's always good to be a bit different, throwing stick, airbomb,spomb, catapult they are my baiting tools, and my weapon will be heavy baiting this year 🤔🙄😬

If I could be bothered to make my own that's probably how I would do it to 😂

Even though its been a tough old year, I feel pretty positive still overall as I say to my kids you just need to put your Icando pants on and make it happen 😏

Good luck Need to aim big 😂 I decided I don't want to stay to stay on this lake forever, 1 more season is all I want to do, a 30 has always been the challenge, there is a few in there so by going through the numbers hopefully I can get one on the bank and catch plenty more on the way 😂😉

My 3 goals for next year 30lb + carp and to catch more than 13 from the big lake, both are gonna happen 😜😂😁😍👍 And the big one got to lose weight and be healthier, I've been feeling a bit ill lately I have a phone chat with the docs today about my blood test results, I think that's a sign things need to change currently 21st need to be about 4st lighter I reckon, I'm getting old now and need to start looking after myself properly 😩

I don't wish to be rude but surely you need to know how to make decent pop ups before you start a specialist commercial hook bait business, To make them perfectly round they probably use a boilie rolling machine, and to make them smell nice they probably boost the flavours once they are boiled with a booster liquid, or roll them and boil them unflavoured and add the flavours afterwards

I only had a look at shallow once but caught it on a good day, its a lovely looking water isn't it, lagoon always seemed busy when I was on there, I think if I was to rejoin I would try meadow I think, I would be totally out my depth but that's kind of the appeal 😂

Probably best to avoid it, wouldn't be much fun having an allergic reaction like that tbh,

How's it been going on St Ives? I always like Joe Morgans content tbh, seems a real decent bloke of all the new subscriptions I would probably prefer his to all the others

7. 99 a month, its good if you haven't subscribed before as there are loads of old episodes to wade through 👍

Well don't do it before the Christmas giveaway 😏 I'm watching through all the episodes still so I'm still enjoying it, I haven't watched any of the short films yet but I think I will have seen a lot from the episodes

Just speaking as I find it's a great series of films, 👍

Not sure if anyone subscribes to cypography, but I have been really enjoying the Hunter with Jim Shelley, so much can be learnt watching him in action, I haven't watched them all yet but I'm getting there 😁
