Maybe I need to apply more and earlier on, I think maybe I just need a thermacell backpacker I know the citronella candles seemed to help when I used them too, I used to leave one outside the bivvy seemed to work OK, Maybe am early. Defence would be better than last minute on the skin

Me is there more than one then ?

Hey guys I was asked to give my findings on Avon skin So soft, have used it twice now and I don't think it works that well for me, which is a shame because its a nice product to use doesn't leave your skin oily and, smells nice and keeps your skin so soft 😍, but even with a mozzie mesh front on this time I've still been had quite a bit, I know it works well for some but unfortunately not for me, I think the next thing for me to try is the thermacell backpacker, I will keep try skin so soft as I still have 2.5 bottles but it may be time to call in the big guns as mozzies love my blood 🙄😭

No me either I used to love it years ago haven't done it for ages, I keep meaning to buy a floater line but always forget 😁 good luck

We shall see there are lots of nice ones to go for still in there, just nice to be catching, I still think a 20 is a big fish I just want to try and be consistent now and keep catching hopefully get a 30 whilst I'm at it, 😁 Thanks, I am quite happy today 😁 hopefully your turn will Come soon 👍

I'm blown away by the mirror, still seems like one someone else normally would be holding 😂

Well this was my PB for 8 hours or so but then this one arrived I really struggled through last year but kept learning and learning, but now all those struggles have been worth it Happy Days

I'd been sitting deliriously with only one rod out due to another tench, so I set another one up recast it, let the line settle, then the bobbin went right up to the butt lifted it up didn't feel anything Initially then boom thought it was a tench but as it got closer I thought that's no tench, it hit the surface and came off, a little jack pike had a hold of the leader, I am now back down to one rod and trying to get motivated to pack up 😂

If you are hitting the clip too hard have a look at the airbomb it's kind of got a shock absorber I've used mine a couple of tines now starting to get the hang of it now 👍 I have a wychwood dispatch S1 spod rod that's pretty decent, I think cheap reels for spodding are a bit of a waste of time the sonik one isn't up to it imo , when you get into spodding it's worth remembering this is the rod and reel you will use most and will take the biggest amount of punishment, if you buy cheap you will need to replace it Might be worth looking at second hand to see what's out there

I am flabbergasted right now, is there a cloud higher than 9 cos I am on it, that's a proper carp woop Someone told me Yesterday PVA bags are only good in winter 😂

I've only gone and beaten my pb again and I thought it was another tench s😂 28lb 4oz of knarly old mirror in the sack, I didn't see that coming 😁

Latest news 3rd tench burnt my sausages

Nothing else in the night, very tenchy this morning tbough had 2 since sunrise, All 3 fish have been Shortly after casting out a fresh bag, I noticed this last week too, it definitely seems to pay regularly rechucking them

New pb 27lb 3oz woop will do proper pics when I am home 3oz bigger and from 2 pegs Down from my old pb 😂 Buzzing now

Looking like the best 7 quid I've spent, too many mozzie idiots around tonight, it's been another day of go slow elmo tbh, I've seen a couple of backs over my baited spot,and some bubbles very weedy so I've cleared it a bit with a grippa lead, few liners have a feeling I may catch a bream tonight lots of twitchy line bites so far, I've had a moorhen all over me today has been in the bivvy and all sorts, Time for a cider and dinner I think

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 😂
