Thanks I did use an easy splice one for a while but I bent it all out of shape and couldn't get it back lol

Thanks not sure I've tried the esp or korda ones so I may give them a go 👍

I seem to be going through more splicing needles than I catch fish at the moment. I've recently broken 4 or 5 trying to make some leaders and as the pic shows I've tried a few 😂 3 thinking anglers ones ( not good ) Avid retracta (broke easily) Fox blue( lasted a while) Other one was just another broken needle I had lying about but it makes more of a case as I have got through an awful lot lately. I don't think i am particularly ham fisted and have made leaders before. Can anyone recommend a bulletproof fine latch needle that's good for splicing and won't just break please ?

I'm thinking about taking Betty with me this week for a day trip, she is mental but loves being with me so I am hoping that is all it takes 😂, she will have to stay tied up a bit though because she has a strong prey drive and doesn't always come back lol she is like my shadow unless she gets a taste of freedom

Yes that is what I was thinking too something along those lines

Just having a play with some rigs tonight as I was bored and I wanted to try a slip D rig for wafters and that, was looking at the kickers I had in stock and thought I would try a noodle kicker, quite happy with the result tbh seems to work quite nicely on the palm test and the kicker will make it harder for the fish to deal with I think.

Just bought some new leads from MP Lead shed. Went for some lighter coloured ones like sand, clay and gravel colour because I was horrified how the silty ones I've been using stood out like a sore thumb when I saw them in the margin 😳

Yes I think that can happen I will arrange it so it can be done that way and we can hopefully add a code word to let them know it's us

Just going to be a DIY thread don't want to make loads 😂 It is quite simple though, I got the idea off fb

Oh [censored] mine ran out on the 28th march if only I had done it sooner

If you want one they are struggling to find the poles of the same quality I saw it on fb so if you want one may be worth getting one as they may have to stop making them soon

Not sure i guess you need to see what the connections are on the bivvy

And I have just swiped right on amazon for a WiFi extender, I will do a seperate thread as I intend to build my own portable range extender set up for a fraction of the cost of the deeper one 😉

I went to allthings3d and I bought 😳 A deeper mount for my actor plus A navigation light for my actor plus And 8 cord zip puller attachments for easy zipping and unzipping of stuff, (non essential but I think in a small way a bit gamechanging 😂)

Ridgemonkey small choppa 14mm to 16mm boilies (i have the medium somewhere in the garage) good little tool for halving baits

I went to France Tuesday and came back last night though the euro tunnel no major issues either way, I would say the biggest hold up is uk customs though. With the ferries though it's probably down to the fact p and o sacked all their staff during the pandemic now surprisingly they can't cope.

Apparently cyprinus have gone bust last I heard

Sorry guys having a lil holiday in euro disney, I am fine got a cuddle off baloo today. I still haven't heard anything from the guy I have emailed twice gonna try again when I get home

I do mine the same as Tom dove, which seems to be the other way to some 😂

Tbh I kind of knew who was where before I got there, and that was pretty much as good as I could've hoped for. There was 5 on last night so I kind of had the choice of 2 areas one which I could've been hemmed in but probably would have had a small chance or where I was where I thought I had a big bit of water to try and find them. You are right though, I could've and should've looked a bit more but I knew the rain was coming and it had been a long day ☔🙄 I'm still trying to make them work at the minute, I learn something each time so it's OK, I will have a chance at some point ☺️

I had a run I couldn't stop on virginia too many moons ago, I believed that was a catfish, that was also where the duck eater was

There was a 62lber caught on the lakes I fish last night, blooming massive it was, there was a report of a duck eating catfish on their too. Still plenty of boilie eating rudd so they aren't doing that well at eating them all 😂

Not a sausage for me, i did take a photo of a nice 20lber for someone though, one day they will feel sorry for me again 😂 home, unpacked, clean and fed (mcdonalds) now mutt walk then back to the old grindstone.

Thanks all, got here got in a peg I fancied, got the brolly straight up luckily as its chucked it down ever since 😂 I have 3 rods sorted clipped up and raring to go just need the rain to ease now, so I can get them out properly, no point rushing I'm having a cuppa while I wait 🙄
