    I barely used my light last night. If at all tbh just attracts mosquitos and other flying pests,

    After spending the night deciding I either needed to hurry into my waders probably fall over and lose the fish, or just sleep in my pants and wear my plastic jesus sandels to go into the flooded swim, I opted for the latter btw as trying to get in my waders in a hurry seems impossible 😂 I keep seeing wadeez on my fb feed has anyone tried them? Do they work it would be good to be able to slip into my waders easily https://wadeez.co.uk/

    It does happen to us all, the 31lber I caught recently ripped off while I had just retrieved a rig from a tree minus half the hooklink I had to chuck the rod in the bush, to make it worse I had already lost a rig in the same tree that was a recast my plan was to hit it short and clip up 😂 It was this one just incase you didn't see the catch report.

    I had the sonik sk set, hated the light everytime I got a run in the night it would go off as I woke up it would dazzle me and I wouldn't be able to acclimatise to the dark, gimmick if you ask me. Just have a head torch and a light for when you need one.

    Thanks, I just watched this vid Kev, there may or may not be a handy tip in it for you, I quite like what he did with the silicone 👍 r

    That sounds a little more than a multi rig Kev, got me Intrigued, I've tied some chods like that before and I did like the way they sat, I might have a play with that when I get some spare time, what sort of knot are you using to connect the coated braid to the mouth trap?
  7. elmoputney
    I still say you are missing out 😂 I like a wide gape for a Ronnie or a jprecision long gape kranks are also good, imo has to be an Inturned eye for me though, Multi rigs I would probably use a chod type hook

    Yes mate very disappointing, I can't believe it hasn't been backed up at all. Spent ages reading and writing those over the years.was always nice to see who had caught something,was even better when you had caught one and were really excited to do a little write up, was always one of the first things I did when I got home, feels like such a waste of time now.
  9. elmoputney
    Surely it would be backed up somewhere?

    So have all the catch reports from all time been deleted? Sad day people put a lot of effort into those catch reports.

    I'm sure I can find a stroke to pull somehow. They are banned on a couple of the lakes I fish so I couldn't use one anyway but if the need came and I felt it beneficial I would definately use one, not cheating just making use of a tool, good angling I say

    When I used my boat I always knew the "wraps" (12ft) to the spots, so if the Oxford vs Cambridge boat race did happen to pass through or boats suddenly got banned, I could always cast to the spots. And you still feel for a drop with the boat so you know what substrate feels like, only you also get a much more accurate baiting spread at the same time. Bit of a win win really.

    I've binned off all my tech this year, sold the boat, my deeper stopped working so I'm more or less a traditional angler these days, next up split canes and a pipe 😬

    Is it this muesli mix? https://www.skinners.co.uk/product/muesli-mix/?_gl=1*tyh59t*_up*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxqayBhDFARIsAANWRnSEUhHZN4M5OrSBOyxzjo2DtpzVAia-DNEMXNltS1xopqKp6OjxU0waAiQ0EALw_wcB The orange one is now a biscuit I think.

    https://millbryhill.co.uk/products/mmf-micronized-mixed-flakes Something like this would make a good base.
  19. elmoputney
    This is the original ingredients, I would have a look and see what ingredients you can find from this list and make your own, you could maybe add some groundbait or whatever to help it bind if required. And just add some other goodies too to make it unique.

    Do zig caught fish get altitude sickness or the bends? Maybe he needs to change his hook for a snorkel 😂
  21. elmoputney
    If it ain't broke 😂
  22. elmoputney
    Pop up on a spinner rig with a lead clip, pretty much 90% of my fishing tbh 😂
  23. elmoputney
    Will be good to see you back out, you can always come to one of our nice socials, hope you find some more time soon 👍
  24. elmoputney
    It really depends what's in front of me, usually strong line, and look for where they are feeding, I've found some great clearer spots by locating bubblers, I've also then prebaited some of those spots with good results. I now try and let the fish guide me, raking can work a treat too, but try to be discreet with it other wise you are doing hard work for others to reap the rewards.

    I think you mean when 😏
