I think the esp ones are pretty good value, just make sure you get the right size for your rod butt type though, but then they fit quite nicely and grip the rod well

I've got a similar spawning dilemma tbh, they have spawned last week on the main lake I want to fish, they haven't closed it so technically I could fish it next week but should I? Or fish one of the other ones that hasnt started yet? I'm probably looking at Wednesday this week I think so it will be about a week since they spawned 🙄 I could treat it as a recon Session and fish a new swim to find features or maybe go and try and fish the lake I fished last week and try and fish a swim where I can fish at a longer range and try out the plastic baits for a session I dunno what to do 🤔

I thought so too, I won't using a lot each time, 👍

Cheers all I went and had a look at monster particles as they have a 50%off sale this weekend, use code bank 50 although it didn't work for tigers However If you look in the clearance section you can get 10kg delivered for £25, I thought that will do, will just freeze them in smaller bags and take one out at a time

I've been looking at adding a few of these to my particles Dynamite bait Munch bait etc Bait tech growers Are these pre prepared ones any good or should I get some from elsewhere?

I got some comments on that photo from some of the school mums on fb saying I look like I am holding my first born 😂 Mrs P laughed when I said that to her just now, I took that as I always do 😏 I've been called a lot worse so I will take ross Kemp 😊 welcome to elmo's deadliest gangs, These may look like an ordinary chess club, but they are selling pawn to knights kings and bishops, I've infiltrated them to see what is really going on

I don't understand why you would spend loads of money on a net tbh, it's never made sense to me that one, I spent 30 odd quid on a Sonik one and thought I was being Flash 😁

Just ordered 20kg bucktons pigeon Conditioner £18.79 delivered thought that will do for starters, 👍

I am with you on the conditioning aspect they seem to have extras that contain more oils like linseed, hempseed etc, I guess the extra £4 might be worth spending for the posh stuff then 😂

Would you guys all say that pigeon Conditioner? Is a better seed mix than other pigeon mixes without aniseed etc? Does the aniseed make it better in your opinions? And what are the must have Ingredients in your seed mix? Naturally I dont mind adding my own additives to make it more appealing such as liquids etc and flavour enhancers like chilli or garlic I've been looking and I've found some different ones, one has mainly larger items see below for Ingredients Ingredients: French Roundberry Maize, Maple Peas, Blue Peas, Tares, Red Dari, Tic Beans Which would mean less airbombing and larger easier to find morsels for the carps 😁 This mix comes in at 13.99 for 20kgs plus postage so pretty wallet friendly

That sent Me on a bit of whirlwind googling that I discovered lots of different pigeon mixes that may be worth a try 👍

I was being a shade feceacius don't worry 😏 Will soon be blanking again 😘

They were all a nice shade in there there is another lake on there, where they are a lot darker, wouldn't mind some of those in the album

Having this chair and level rods turned me into a hauling machine 😁😁😁😁

Some if the highlights of my recent session the not an upper double 20lb 2oz this was no 10 looking at that paddle I am not surprised it went like a train

Having now used my tracker levelite transformer chair, I can safely say it's a great bit of kit, it's light makes such a difference to sitting on a bedchair tbh, I didn't realise how much it would help but just being able to sit comfortably in the bivvy made a real difference, it would've been far too hot outside all day and it doesn't really effect the lay out of your bivvy, and you just have the extra comfort required, to get up and down easily, which at my age has started to become a factor 😁

The reason I went with stur fry oil though was that it was a mix of oils I am Stück in a queue on Morrisons to find out what they are 😢 Sunflower oil, sesame oil, ginger and garlic extract, just add some chilli oil or flakes tasty treats

I think garlic is a good oil too I've used that before, chilli and garlic mixed would also be good 🌶️😂 Who doesn't love chilli and garlic based meals 🤔

I used similar seeds tbis week, I added some chilli flakes, himilayan salt and a good glug of Stinger oil (you could get an oil from bm too have a look at the supermarket sweep thread for which oils you want,) I've used a stir fry oil before because that seemed to have a good blend I just soaked mine in a cool box for 36 hours and they went all gloopy and nice

Well I am now home had to stop and get some bread and milk, thought it best to also get Mrs Putney some flowers as fish no 10 made an appearance, just as I had started packing away, I had just turned my reciever off didn't realise one of my alarms was silent, luckily I heard the bang as it pulled out the clip and the bobbin hit the rod, fish 10 was the common to prove me wrong, battled all the way in and really tried to get himself free spent ages going through every pad stem and even round and round some rushes, clever one that one, it knew how to get free, must have beaten someone before as when I got it in and unhooked it I thought thats odd my rig isn't attached turns out he already had a hook plus mine, 2 hooks removed another mid double common but another pretty one pics to follow later on, All in all that was a mega session alright, don't think I will fish that lake again though, it was fun once but its exhausting, I don't feel I got enough time to relax 😁 But I tried a few different hookbaits a few different rigs and my conclusions are, you can catch them on any rig if they are preoccupied with feeding as long as it presents correctly not a concern, d rig kicker rigs tended to get the best hook hold though but 10 fish hooked, 10 landed so no major concern, I even used the same wafter and rig for 2 fish couldn't get the Hat trick on it though 😁

Number 9 has visited the bank, a mod double common 🤣 but a pretty one so I took some snaps

I'm on 8 now another mid double common in the night left that rod in, no pic, got woken up by a screamer, that fish really didn't want to come in, then it probably ran 40 yards into the pads to my left, all the time staying deep, had a stalemate with it for a while and eventually it swam out and proceeded to not want me to land it, I actually thought it was a bigger one when it was on but I thought no way when I saw it, a lovely mid double MIRROR 😍 I always thought commons fight hardest but this one wow angry little so and so, I've airbombed the rest of the dirty munga out and put 3 fresh bags out to see if I can't hit double figures whilst packing up 🤣

Preview of Jonny 5 all 20lb 2oz of him those 2 ounces have got rid of a big old weight around my neck I was starting to think I could only catch mid to high doubles 😩

Luckily they habe stopped for now 😁

This one was no 6, about mid double but went just while I was just settling the line on my other rod, it's been mental today, I need a cider and no more runs for a bit 😁
