Grande bacon big mac meal 😋

Right guys thought I may do a little blog of my session today The car is packed and ready, just waiting baton in hand to pass it on to Mrs Putney then I can hit the road , need to stop off for milk and possibly a McDonald's on the way but its looking like I should be there for midday to see what is in store swim wise its now in the lap of the carp gods as to who is already there, hoping to have the place to myself tonight but depends on day anglers and I'm not sure if there is 1 other booked on or not, looks pretty good conditions for this new moon night out,other than a little too much wind lol, got the overwrap cos it looks like it may get cold ish overnight but I'm pretty confident and fairly well prepped and organised, got 6 pva bags loaded and ready to rock clip em up, tie em up, chuck em out maybe a couple of spods over the top, get a bite oooosh, that's the plan 😂😁 I am really excited the way you should be before a session I think 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞😁

Just watch the highlights on you tube, I just did, fury was all over him really great to see, wilder was all over the shop after he got a cut on his ear, I've always liked watching fury such a talent and great to see him back as a world champ

I still use auto focus, 😅 seems to work OK, I would like to experiment more with mine, maybe I will try some arty blanking style shots this Sunday 😁

Luckily I am Sunday night and I won't Funnily enough I keep it all in the same bag too 👍

Try an intervalometer, you won't look back I reckon, makes life so much easier tbh once you get it sorted it just does the snapping for you meaning you can just concentrate on being I front of the camera,

No worries glad to help, hopefully you will get more practice than I do 😁 Although I am hoping it's chunky carp Sunday this week 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Hey guys Sorry if I've been a bit too argumentative today, been a tough day and week really, kids half term, MIL is here all week, early starts and not enough sleep, I think I have alot of steam to blow off 😂😤🤯😬🤯😤

I'm no camera buff tbh and never had a Nikon but it should be perfect for self takes and general photos I would think, is it an 18-55 lens? That's what it seemed to come with when I googled it, that's what I have on mine, just have a play I am sure you will find you are taking decent enough shots, I got a remote for mine to begin with but holding a fish and using a remote isn't easy, just get a cheap and camera compatible intervalometer usually on amazon for about £12, I also have an amazon basics tripod, which is good for the money, and a video light (mine is a 96 led one) also off amazon and that should be enough to get you going, just try taking lots of photos to start with you only need one good one and you can always delete them with a digital 👍

I thought it may be but was just wondering if anyone had noticed this just incase 😁

One thing I found out at St Ives was bream didn't get caught as much if I only used hemp and boilies rather than a spod mix, I did catch some tench using this though 😁 Does anyone think hemp on its own isn't as attractive to bream as other particles? Or was that just coincidence?

That is good advice tbh I got mine off a lawn at work not sure if they treat that but worth considering before I get anymore

I am sure that is most people nowadays though isn't it? I don't want to argue about this😂, but that's my opinion, maybe if I tried the EV range I would never look at another brand and end up buying some TXi's but I quite like being able to turn my alarms down like bluelabel and just using the receiver at night , I would Also probably think a little differently if I already owned the dongles and receiver, I sold my fox alarms for this very reason tbh Maybe I am missing the point a little but to me I think I should be able to to buy a remote receiver for any alarm I want these days

It's mainly just the having to buy dongles, that gets me with this range tbh, they would still be decently priced at say £90-100 if you could just buy a receiver, it is just the fact you have to buy dongles, 😲 Surely the EV range is priced to be affordable to most? I would say it's a mid priced alarm anyway,

Vape and spare batteries plus juice Food That's about it the rest I can find an alternative for usually I have had to buy travel mugs from garages though I do forget those quite often

I get it from a business point of view they will make more money but personally I think a £60 alarm these days should habe the ability to connect to an alarm Its not just about the money, it's more the fact that a set of alarms that cost £60 each should be able to directly connect to a remote these days, without the need to buy £100 worth of dongles and a receiver for it,would have no problem paying extra for a receiver, but I could've got dongles 20 years ago for my old fox mmx's, but then remotes were top end stuff, now there are loads of budget brands that have remote receivers it just seems odd that one of the pioneers of the alarm seem way behind on what could be the best selling mid priced range of alarms?

Which is my point it seems a bit of a con,I don't think it has to be that expensive most cheaper alarms have remote capabilities these days, why can't Delks?

Get an intervalometer for your self takes, I just use a Canon 650d which is quite old now with a cheap intervalometer and a video light for night shots, this is the last one I caught and only I've used an intervalometer for 😁

I get that not everyone wants a receiver and even if you have one you may not use it but nowadays surely every new alarm should be directly combatible with a receiver at the very least

So it basically costs the same and you have to buy the dongles from a competitor 😣🤔 I just dont get why anyone who didn't already own the dongles, would buy them?

I am still quite flabberghasted delkim can't just make all there alarms have a direct remote receiver these days?

not tonight I'm too tired and I've just washed my hair island 😔😴😴😴😴

No he just lies back and thinks of fishing 😁

You gotta go before the next baby comes that second one is a game changer, and that will probably add another 4 or 5 years at least 👍 Funnily enough I've been trying to persuade the misses to do a French trip as a family,she doesn't seem that keen tbh but she did say would you like to do it by yourself the other day, which I may have dismissed a little too quickly in hindsight 😉
