  1. I think that is the tough one lsnt it, I find I've spent the week building up to a session planning and prepping and thinking, then by the time you get there you are knackered as something won't be how you imagine it in the build up, then it all feels a bit of a waste of all that energy, for me I think the key is to try to plan less and be better prepared for more situations I am also going to keep a log this year so I can remember more and make the same mistakes less πŸ€”πŸ˜³πŸ˜³πŸ˜³πŸ˜³πŸ˜³πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜
  2. I doubt I am the only one that has already started planning for the year ahead? Next couple of Months head down trying to work hard and save up a bit of spare dosh, get new syndicate ticket and a few odds and sods 😏 then about march crack on for the year with a new challenge and a fresh start, this year has been a real steep learning curve for me, the highs and lows were good lessons to learn, I learnt I haven't got time for a real serious tough challenge and want to go fishing thinking I have a chance, I know I will mainly only be doing overnighters that seems the way for me, I want to go to catch fish not just one particular fish, so will be planning and baiting accordingly, working it out as I go, I am happy with my bait choice now you will be pleased to know so no more dicking about with that 😁 Targets 30lb +carp, and some nice shots and hopefully a good few for the photo album, but really I just want to enjoy it, to be able to relax and do it my way, take in the atmosphere, and be at peace with my surroundings ✌️😁 Lose some timber (mainly for happiness and mental wellbeing, not cos I feel Inadequate without a 6 pack ) 😁 Take the girls more, and try to maintain a healthy work/family/fishing balance Also I want to become more accurate at longer ranges, and also better at the other stuff and not worrying about rigs and bait I am pretty sure they work now it's more location, tactics, accuracy and opportunity, What are you guys planning for the new year?
  3. Offer accepted Β£95 plus postage for 3 happy days
  4. I read what I could about them and they seem to be able to chuck a lead out, they haven't met me yet though πŸ˜‚
  5. I'm looking at some wychwood C101 rods at the minute anyone used these? I've put in a reasonable offer just waiting to see what he thinks to it
  6. I just wondered how instant they worked they are lovely looking alarms and I might get some one day, but I tend to use my alarms at volume unless I am sleeping as they may not wake me but the receiver on the soniks works sort of like an echo of the buzzers which slightly irritates me 😁
  7. Everything is tougher in the cube Water wipes are good for cleaning stuff I clean my glasses, fishing rods, frying pan allsorts with them they might work, Google might have a good cleaning solution for the material you are trying to clean? General alarm with receiver question? Do all alarms with receivers have a slight delay to the receiver? My soniks seem to as did my old fox sounder box as it travelled up the wire 😁 but as these are silent do they still transmit slightly slower than the line movement like if I had my alarm volume down ?
  8. They look like Cork but it does make you wonder 😊 One thing I do know is that I can't stop looking at them 😍😍😍
  9. I like the look of those they are bit nice and about in budget I would like to be within £200 for 3 😁 but would rather spend less if I can
  10. Hi guys I've decided to sell my 10ft rods in order to get some 12 footers for next year I want to be able to chuck some baits out for my next project, bigger water bigger rods, Now I think I want a 3.25lb tc as I think this should be about right to chuck a bag or 4oz lead pretty far, but will it still work as an all rounder as sometimes I may fish close in too I'm looking at 2nd hand but not seeing loads at the moment but if I was to go new My options are Sonik vaders Diawa G50 Chub rs plus Now I wouldn't mind the soniks again but may wait for the new version to be readily available and I will have a look if there are any sales but has anyone got any thoughts or other rods I should look at I may have gone off Cork in favour of shrink wrap as it cleans better 😁 Also if anyone spots any good deals let me know please 😁
  11. Im not selling them on here but I just thought someone may know about them all I could find were they go for about 25 on ebay and a high modulus blank
  12. Hi guys I have been selling some bits for the FIL recently and have a pair of these in 2 3/4lb tc but I think i quite like them anyone ever had these or know anything about them, I always thought RT was cheap but these look alright, I am selling some carp porn (old bite alarms) too but not sure I am allowed add any pics as I am selling them amd don't want to get in trouble for selling on here
  13. All this talk of cupper sooups reminded me of these 😁 If you have time watch more slade ones great sketches
  14. UltraFire LED Torch Tactical Flashlight https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0721Y5SVP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XWO7Db7MK1CTM I got one of these recently after seeing the tufty torch, I have to say it does work on the coots with the red lamp, quite good fun scaring the ducks away πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ¦†πŸ¦†πŸ¦†πŸ¦†πŸ¦’πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ˜†πŸ˜€πŸ˜
  15. Nope already planning a McDonald's on the way home πŸ™„
  16. Me too I've just gone for first tea break at work to find I've left my dinner at home 😁😭
  17. I got one of these and tried it out this weekend, I heated my curry up and treat will look forward to making some great bankside cuisine with itπŸ˜‹
  18. Good I think you should wait 😁 It keeps the christmas spirit alive and gives you some Christmas magic 3ven if you know what it is πŸ˜πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸ€ΆπŸ€ΆπŸ€ΆπŸ€ΆπŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ…
  19. The bag material on the ngt is thick and very robust mines been through the wars and is still standing any zip I can break I will i haven't broke an ngt one yet 🀐
  20. I once put a bream in it and the smell won't go away otherwise its OK 😁 I have found sometimes the sides can be leapt by an angry carp if its not pegged down but it stays tight if it is
  21. I just looked at the YouTube can't believe you don't get a groundsheet or any extras with it for that much
  22. The angle on the eye of the esp ones looks a little less extreme Than the bank tackle ones which I think will compensate for the curve and make them sit well on a ronnie rig, that being said I am quite happy with the presentation of the bank tackle one as its a straight shank, they will probably both sit about the same in the end 😁
  23. Yeah I do like the look of those ones but haven't got any in stock and I have a good few bank longshanks 😁 They sharpen up quite nicely though and I've got faith in the pattern which helps, I've used them for wafters and snowman rigs and Multi rigs too and every fish I've hooked has been nailed so far,
  24. I've been. Meaning to try a longshank for my Ronaldinho rig, I have to say I like the results
  25. They have recently reduced the abv on the bottles of westons I think not quite as mind blowing these days, you used to really know when you had more than a couple great stuff 😁
