I have started listening to the Carp fishing podcast this week I think you guys may enjoy it if you haven't listened, in one of those they have a chat about what's changed in the scene, very Interesting listen Another couple of things I've noticed that are new FISH SPY I can't work out if I think it's a great idea or if it feels like cheating a bit ? I could definitely use one and learn from it I think, and at least you have to cast it, but for me it's like bait boat revisited ? I can see the pros and cons but ultimately it's a luxury fishing item I haven't really looked into the Sponsored lakes thing btw and don't know much about it , and I agree it is good they are putting something back to the sport, but is this more like how football has gone the Emirates rather than Highbury, king power , Etihad stadium My point being soon will we all be fishing at Nash lakes , or turbowanger lakes or korda or something similar rather than yately ,redmire , wraysbury that i grew up reading about

Probably better than it bursting into flames while you sleep on it though.

Wow just seen this, he was quite lucky to get out of it, will make me think twice and be a lot more careful in the future , I know it's not so common now but smoking in bed is very dangerous also, I had been out for a heavy weekend many moons ago and decided to have one last Fag, promply fell asleep and ruined my carpet rug and carpet when it fell out my hand still alight, luckily I woke up in time with the smoke causibg me to cough but that would've been worse in a bivvy it wasn't that pleasant in a house btw, Has anyone approached the companies with regard to making there items more flame retardant it seems mad in this day and age that chairs etc arent fire resistant

I am so glad you reminded of the hero in a half Shelly , I stupidly looked at one of his vids on YouTube it was a funny one talks a bit like Joe pascuale in it, you've probably seen it, Anyway now he keeps popping up on my you tube feed, so now I get him , 10 stupidist whatevers Cos I onced watch one of those , and lots of home decoration / plumbing, sealant removal vids in my feed

I've just worked out it's been over 10 years, you mean jim Shelley btw ? 😉 I think he was on Nash bait last I remember,

I thought I would see what's changed since I last angled, I've noticed sponsored lakes are on the up round my way there are Nash lakes and a korda embryo lake, neither really appeal I have to say lots less club waters and more syndicated waters all over the place All the videos I've watched everyone seems to use 2 poles stuck in the ground and casts out in wraps these days not feet or yards ? Bait fashion seems to be krill based or coconut ? Pop ups are still bright , goo was a thing I believe , I just bought a camo bucket will I be slaughtered for it eeek, it does seem like nothing and everything has changed since I was last fishing, but one thing I did notice was you don't get a lot with £50 in a tackle shop these days 😬
