That's me sold on it 4 runs in 2 hours 3 landed one fell off at the net, all after epic battles though, and in far from ideal conditions,biggest a scraper double but it's nice to have some runs and get to test my ideas out, a much welcomed confidence boost

I've just read this as yesterday I decided to bait up a bit on the little club water, I also decided that due to only being able to nick a couple of hours here are there using washed out baits would be a great edge for me, So I took home a bucket of lake water and added some frozen dumbbells to it then I added some spod syrup and robin red oil the result a fantastically attractive but washed out looking soft bait,I think this can only help with short session angling tbh As I reckon the carp will be getting loads of leftovers and living off those mainly as it's a days only mixed lake so I believe leftovers will be there main food source,

I've had a bit of base mix kicking around I've added it to spod mixes and stuff to create a cloud effect and added a dusting to boilies and pellets etc , i think used this way it should be ok not sure if it would just compact into a blob though without anything else in the bag, give it a try might work a treat and create a lovely bit of attraction without giving much content other than the hookbait

Hair rigged Kebab meat

Deep pan Pizzas cut up into floater size chunks might work,use a dominoes for the oil slick it would create

A kid I knew at school did that and we saw him bagging up on chub in the town centre river I remember being quite stunned at how effective it was

This video has some useful tips and equipment for scaling up

Just incase you didn't find it this is the video, this may help you to work smarter

Have you ever seen the carpcatchers bait making video on you tube that may have a tip or two to help you speed it up a little? He has a production line going on In his kitchen, What set up are you using, I guess next level is pneumatic gun and one of these looks a lot quicker even with the manual version there is a video on the page of it working https://www.boilieroller.co.uk/bait-making-equipment Have a look at caulking guns BTW you can get pneumatic ones of those and they may be cheaper and just as useful

I think it will do the job but I used mole grips the other day and they seemed to work well enough

Thanks chillfactor have bought some to try, looking at them I think that may be just the ticket, I did try a running rig buffer but it doesn't quite cover the quick link and that's not good enough, hopefully these should work a treat cheers

Will have a look at those thanks, I have done pilates in the past and it is good for core strength, so I will try some of those exercises when it's a little better

Going for physio next week, hopefully that will get me back on track a bit, maybe after that I will get on with the exercises, until then it's gin and painkillers for me 😁

Quick question about the avid leader if I may, I've just bought some leads without swivels on, if I tie one on the the end of the leader I wouldn't have a swivel is that going to cause twisting on cast? I have tied on a quick link but don't really like that either Happy with the rest of it bank tackle sinkers with Tungsten beads seem good they shouldn't move without a bit of force, and the fluoro leader looks like a winner, but just not dead happy with the lead end? What's the solution please?

A back massaging bedchair, I've just done my back in again I was set to return to work tomorrow littlun decided to jump at me today and its gone again, I'm getting so bored of it now it gets better then goes again when you least expect it, either that or I need a ghillie, not fishing is killing me, 😭

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

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

So where does a roving session angler fit Into this equation? 🤔 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??

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

Would the tfg air bomb hit 120+yards?

Not as wrong though

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"

Thanks Dicky just had to find a courier for some rods UPS Were cheapest £15.95

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

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
