    Anyway, still awaiting any more info on them, if you know where this video clip can be seen I would like a nose at them but I don't do face ache

    Have you emailed Gardner themselves that might be a good idea. They will know more than us.

    AVID Revolve Bivvy Table ordered, looks decent for under £30, wanted one with adjustable legs but not wanting to pay silly money and this is metal not plastic so should last.

     

    I like the look of this avid revolving table, Kev you really are the poshest angler I know.

    5 x 3oz leads, pack of size 6 ESP claw hammer barbless hooks, pack of small fox shrink tube, pack of ESP streamliner sleeves, pack of ESP splicing needles, 3kg prepared hemp 

    I like the claw hammers, I mainly use trig hammer XT at the moment though but they are a good n sharp wide gape style hook.

    Just an update on this post....

    Last week one of my old ATTs started to play up after many years of trouble free service, bit of a bodge job to get battery chamber working again but now doesn't seal properly! 😕

    Anyway, out of curiosity last week I emailed Gardner via the web site about any release date for the new alarms, no response - probably not surprised tbh.

    Actually wondering if they will ever appear?

    You can get new seals and parts for them have a look on ebay.

    Gonna have to get on this, just gotta do it quietly.  was thinking of taking the rake out on the baiting pole for stealth if it will take the weight.  When I saw my spots last week in good light I realised anyone would have found them on the right day, so no doubt I'm fishing the usual spots, not finding anything new at all - doh!

    Tbh most people just  think you are an idiot for making that much disturbance, if you can do it without being spotted it does help though. But most people tend to be doing their own thing and slaves to other swims, so you can get away with it to some degree. Pellets are good for spot clearing as they tend to suck up the smelly silt once you have raked and make your spot smell like it's been shake n vac'd, it's all you have to do.........

    This is different to a mallet imo. Raking means so much more than clearing a spot. The naturals you release during raking serve as the ultimate attractant imo. They carp are bound to come back in.

    I've raked perfectly clear presentable silt spots and you see fish coming in no time at all. They absolutely love it.

    Fortunately most people cannot be bothered to rake these days, preferring to look for existing spots or moaning about the weed, last time I fished I raked a margin spot and the next morning it had regular visitors, the only reason I didn't catch was I reeled it in with a big rudd that had impaled itself on the size 4, I went and cleared a couple of spots this week with a view to fishing this weekend, hopefully the bait and freshly cleared spots will have the fish visiting regularly cleaning them up for me. If I still can't get a drop I know they haven't, I baited a hole in the weed somewhere else also so I have options.

    A lot of swims on dinton were rock hard, topped up with road plainings. I often smacked the pegs in with a mallet to the sometime amusement and sometimes anger of fellow fishermen.

    On one occasion I set up opposite two mates who decided to hurl abuse at me and call me a "noddy" across the lake for ruining their fishing,  my reply was simple "how many 40's you had?". The reply was, silence 🤣. Unless you're fishing right in the edge i personally believe it has no affect, though especially so on a lake like dinton where dogs are jumping in all the time, kids throwing stones etc, the carp ain't bothered by it. 

    Bang a peg in, it might bring the fish in. 🤣

    I must admit last time I fished I really went to town with the weed rake and still caught the same night. That should probably scare them more than a quick bang with a mallet. It's not like you have to bang them all in usually.

    Bought a set of the Jag ones, it is your fault Elmo but they look great and the cross bar slides out so no more dog cable getting caught around them every 5 mins so worth it for that alone 👍

    Not my fault. 😂

    Would one work as a excavator for bivvy pegs?

    Ive seen campers use these pegs and use an impact driver to put them in. They don't budge i know that, but carrying a drill is a pain if you're fishing.

    Might be a bit too formula one pit crew for fishing lol. I could go with a ratchet though. You might only need to do one or two. I would have been tempted to mallet the other day if I had one the ground was that tough.
