  1. I still say you are missing out πŸ˜‚ 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
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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 😬
  5. 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.
  6. 3 packs of J precision lg's size 5 barbed and a barbless. Korda mini crimp tool and small krimps. Cc Moore milk n nut crush pva bag mix. And a hooky x spod off ebay πŸ™„
  7. Change only for so far πŸ‘welcome back matey.
  8. https://millbryhill.co.uk/products/mmf-micronized-mixed-flakes Something like this would make a good base.
  9. 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.
  10. Do zig caught fish get altitude sickness or the bends? Maybe he needs to change his hook for a snorkel πŸ˜‚
  11. If it ain't broke πŸ˜‚
  12. Pop up on a spinner rig with a lead clip, pretty much 90% of my fishing tbh πŸ˜‚
  13. 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 πŸ‘
  14. 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.
  15. I think you mean when 😏
  16. Everytime I get to go is special 😏
  17. Innovate baits for me these days the Reaper Nut Mix Is my go to I tried a last ditch zig today not sure i had the depth right because I guessed πŸ˜‚ but a few fish acting weird around it and circled it or crashed out near it. Something I should maybe giving some more time too whilst it's warm because nothing was coming off the deck this afternoon
  18. They are that buoyant even chuck Norris can't push them to the bottom of the lake.
  19. Hope not I haven't got a lifetime supply yet πŸ˜‚
  20. I've heavily glugged proper jobs and they still stay proud, I did hear they were a certain favourite of the top goo anglers.
  21. I've had a little spend up this weekend 2 9ft sonik extractors, cult tackle rod bag, Gardner unhooking sling, korda boom and boom tubes, some korda pouches for lighter and better organisation, collapsible bucket, few other odds and sods but I now have some rods for my gold emblems and will have a nip out for an hour or two mobile set up for some fun fishing
  22. Can you get the liquid flavours or bait sprays, if so maybe you could buy some unflavoured PJPU'S and spray them yourself, best of both worlds then πŸ‘
  23. a mad rush after work /school for me and the daughter, made it for a night out on the bank last night, just about set up before dark.Forgot loo roll, cutlery and her little rod, Lovely looking swim, blanked like a good un till 10am then moved here for a bit blanked till lunch time,put rods out back in the other swim, had hot dogs, packed away everything then back to this swim where we tried hard, cast to showing fish and did everything we could,we blanked all the way home too.n Nothing to show for it but a nice time was had,
  24. I'm not saying all solar stuff is bad btw but this bed was poor, it has been discontinued now, it was based on the same design as the sp tech bed but probably using a cheaper metal frame, had it not bent It would have been a comfy bed.
