  1. We Finished 4th out of 7 with 14lb odd so not bad we just fished 1 whip between us and took shifts, my shift Was pretty much 5 hours whether I had the pole or not because I did all the slimy stuff, the lakes a lot emptier tonight so I've done some class swim poaching rather than move I went next door cast my marker and I am Fishing one rod across the next swim 🤣good angling or lazy I even used the boat 😲 got my middle rod out a bit further than last night and my other rod down the side on a nice clear spot just off some pads come on the near full moon carpies, The lake is about 140lb lighter of rudd now, still blooming loads though 😂 I forgot to say the kids were really keen to stay a 2nd night so we did 😂
  2. Yep they are still messing about and it's 11pm, I'm fishing all 3 rods in the margin can see a blank on the cards lol Apart from the Rudd match maybe should catch some of them. 😂
  3. Both kids have decided they want to come night fishing before the Rudd match tomorrow, 2 kids 1 dog, this will be interesting for sure 😂
  4. If you can pm me with your phone number when you can I will send you the payment details over 👍
  5. Yeah it's about the same as the length of my rods (good enough) 😂
  6. Does anyone else want the details to pay for the social please pm me if you do ? Edit I need ya phone number to send the details across
  7. Solid bag? They might not be able to resist one of those bad boys.
  8. Not using wraps is just fishing with the handbrake on in my opinion. Make life so much easier tbh and one of the greatest inventions in modern carp fishing. And only having to count into double digits makes life so much easier it's a no brainer. Although recently I have also started using a marker set up again. So now I can find a spot with a marker. Wrap it up the next stage is a leading rod so I can interrogate the spot I've just found around the marker. I think deepers can be great to a point but I've gone off mine recently though and just stopped using it. I think the rudd play havoc with it and give you false readings that look like weed, I also found it made me want to spend ages trying to find the perfect spot, whereas most of the time they don't exist and bait can quickly make an OK spot better that's where the rudd are quite handy 😂 To me a wrap is 12ft btw all the sticks I've owned come with a 12ft cord Someone asked me to do a review on these when I got them, Best £12 you will spend on wrap sticks tbh, they are thin and go in most grounds well and they are solid work a treat. Only down side they are quite short but that doesn't bother me really as i rarely need to go more then 21 wraps
  9. I remember seeing a "proper carper" with a set years ago and ever since I've always wanted some, I might just get another and a couple of littler rods and have a mobile set up. Or I may just use it as a 2nd spod rod reel dunno yet 🤔
  10. I just had a rush of blood to the head and bought a daiwa Emblem S 5000T off ebay, £45 I've always wanted a set of these, didn't really need it though and not quite sure what I will use it for 😳
  11. I've just sent my payment over so it's official we are going 👍
  12. Rob has been in touch if you can PM me your phone numbers I will send you over the bank details to pay with
  13. I would have felt the thing I walked straight into if I had hair still 😂
  14. A baldy bang on the head today walked into an oven door handle just as I was packing up at work.
  15. Got the look, could have the build but nah not my type of thing really, I have thought about going to St John's occasionally as a volunteer but never quite found the time.
  16. My mate knows him and just said he is a decent bloke but is usually a little slow responding if at all, I will keep trying I'm still hopeful it's OK 👍
  17. He hasn't called back yet, I've just messaged the guy that runs the lake I fish as he probably knows him as its next door and I'm pretty sure they have done work together on the track and stuff, hopefully if we can join the dots and we can get an answer one way or another.
  18. Mine is so short now you can't see the grey
  19. I will keep chasing this week and hope i can get an answer one way or the other
  20. I haven't bought much really. 3 matrix hockey sticks (ebay bargain) and some mcf bike chain indicator chains to go with them. And a new head shaver I am now super bald 😂
  21. Yep, hoping he calls back soon tbh I want this monkey off my back now
