    Nice hat Smufter and well done on the catchπŸ‘ πŸ˜‘
  3. I thought it was well shot, showed some good potential, you caught some nice fish and showed how you did it , and there was a little banter, Negatives Music was very similar to other videos, and maybe a few similarities to other vids More banter is a good thing, I guess that comes with experience, but more importantly just show that you are enjoying or not enjoying it, just be yourself, great first effort though I would definitely watch more
  4. That is kind my point tbh each lake is different, each angler is different, it seems silly to try and make classifications of what is or isn't stalking
  5. So where does a roving session angler fit Into this equation? πŸ€” And what about an opportunistic angler? He simply seeks opportunity wherever it may be I think just do what you think will give you a chance on the day and call it carp fishing too many things in life need a pigeon hole these days, also what if you cast 100+yards at a showing fish? Surely that's stalking as you've cast to the area you saw a fish??
  6. I did a bit of research Into that, unless your boilies are all the correct size it would end up knackering the barrel pretty quick and also the noise would irritate people What I am thinking is a pva bag that has some water stored somebow that when it reaches near the spot releases and explodes the bag mid air, haven't got a clue how to make that happen though
  7. Feel free to ask any questions you may need answering, although using the search function may find the answers you need also welcome to the forum Colin
  8. Or angling? I think stalking is generally frowned upon in other circles anyway, A non angler would look a bit worried if you said I am a stalker and I am off to stalk my prey I think if you catch one from the margin, you should have to say "I winkled one out from an overhanging BUSH"
  9. Thanks Dicky just had to find a courier for some rods UPS Were cheapest Β£15.95
  10. An item I would like to see invented a bivvy light and headtorch, that repelled mosquitos so when it was on they wouldnt all attack the light or worse me
  11. Where does it say you can't take a chair and be stalking? I think you also assume that these would be used all day when they might just be used for a quick downpour or stopping for a spot of lunch, you know maybe the stalker In question might still wade through 10ft of brambles most of the day in hardcore pursuit of the carp but may just take the opportunity for a sit down in his lightweight chair if he got the chance
  12. Angling means different things to different people, I don't think it's stupid wanting more lightweight things like a brolly for when it rains that is small and light that you can set up to stay dry that you don't need a quiver to carry or hold all day , and when you get older you don't want to be crawling on your knees all day or sitting on a damp Bank for a while you just want a little comfort, mainly because you want to enjoy your fishing not go home with a bad back,or aching knees or whatever. I just think you can't always be that hardcore if it stops your enjoyment in fishing, Each to there own I say
  13. I was once Messing around with a putter on a driving range, that made the golf balls fly, one swing I snapped the head of the putter, that went about twice as far as the ball, πŸ˜€ That just reminded me of that so I thought I would share it, It would be quite handy having a driving range to practice casting on though
  14. https://www.amazon.co.uk/imuto-Portable-Charger-20000mAh-External-X4-Black/dp/B017U9ANJQ That's the one I got, it does say that it would only charge an ipad air 1.2times though so may not be ideal for tablets, but it's fine for my phone, it is a little old now so there may be newer better ones out there
  15. I would get a powerbank off amazon my one does 5 phone full charges off one full charge, so unless you need a lot more than that I wouldn't worry too much they look bulky, powerbank fits Into your bag
  16. I wouldn't like to see that either, for me he is a great professional, someone you would want your kids to look up too, but if he goes to utd it would be a terrible shame,
  17. Obviously I was biased but when you are spurs fan and a player does this for you right at the end of the game, he was a Match winner that day and all from skills he must have practised again again and again I was in the corner where they celebrated and white Hart Lane erupted that night magical times
  18. Sadly I don't know, I guess it's just like how carp fishing has gone, it's not the same niche market it once was many moons ago, I guess we just have to accept changes and embrace it, you can't look back and say it was better in my day, you just have to go forward and find what makes you happy in your angling, either that or just walk away I guess I've just lost Interest in Football because I can't justify the cost of going or the cost of sky sports when sadly I doubt I will get time to watch it, kids won over football
  19. Having been lucky enough to watch Bale a few times in his spurs days, he is an exceptional footballer, he worked really hard every game, he isn't just an average player he has exceptional skill, you don't just get that from kicking a ball about, it took lots of hard work how many kids do you know that get trials or play for certain teams and expect to make it big, quite a few but not many of them ever hit the big time, you have to be the cream that rises time and again, should he be earning that much probably not, but that's the game, he has worked hard so I can't knock him, I can knock the game and what it has become though, the media has turned it into a circus and I've lost my passion for the game but it isn't the players fault its all the leeches that feed off there talent,

    I've used the semi stiff before and also really like it, never the soft though what's that like?
  21. I totally agree will make my life easier too, its a solid bit of kit I was just telling it like it is really, it's a budget barrow with a few imperfections but that's why it's at the price it is, I still think there will be more expensive barrows that aren't anywhere near as useful, I am quite a practical person anyway so I can try and improve any issues I come across
  22. I've been using 4 quite a bit lately when I can get away with it but I think as sensitive as possible is best, on setting 4 I have had 2 beeps that have turned Into bream(could've been a tricky carp ) whereas on 1 it wouldn't have even sounded, i do like the alarms though, I think they are great little things tbh
