I've killed it now, I don't think i have the patients lol, I'm using the opportunity to clear out the garage and sell off some bits and bobs and do a tip run, I've taken all the good bits off it like the magnetic storm poles and taken the bag for my bivvy as its better etc, and I have a virtually unused front for it which they don't come with now so I shall try and flog that. I took my old broken bedchair out the bedchair bag and I now have a barrow bag by the end of today I am hoping to be more organised and have some toot on ebay and have done a tip run π Tip run so farβ€΅οΈ I've now got spare bedchair legs for my chair and feet to spruce up my old jrc cocoon that the kids sometimes use, it feels like a result somehow

Thanks nick I had a look on you tube at what was required and thought that looks fiddlyπ I weighed up the pros and cons, it's an old brolly that cost me Β£40 second hand, I've done a fair few nights in it, I think I've had my moneys worth. I am having a tidy up/clear out now I have fixed my cyprinus bunker that will do for now, it isn't a brolly though, and it isn't that quick to put up speed was king with a brolly π

Scrap that I've just managed to kill it 8 think, it just sort of collapsed and it appears that the metal holding the spines has snapped and given way? Anyone know if this is repairable? I do like the look of the new esp lo pro π³

-
Before you fabsil do you wash your brolly? What with please? It's time my old trusty cyprinus got some special treatment π³
-
Yes they are pants. Get an x spod, opens every time
-
Good aren't they. Get the bigger one
-
Another blank, one rod came in clumped in weed, the banker (lol) came in without a hookbait attached(yes it did have one on before) , and my 3rd rod was OK, I did get to take a photo for the bloke next door though,he seems to have it sussed and doing good angling tbh, I am beginning to take this poor run of form a little personally, I'm giving my head a wobble now.
-
Twas the Rudd that done it, it's my phone holder for when I use the blooming deeper I'm not sending that thing out blooming nearly sank last time i went out in it π³
-
I didn't think she would be tbh but she is doing OK at the moment, Couple of bleeps, now I just want a screamer, looks pretty carpy this morning though
-
Nothing yet, but did manage to get on the fish this time, I think I have a chance anyway so that's good. She hasn't been too bad I took her for a good walk round, she likes to be by my side though constantly but she's now pretty chilled, she didn't like the geese to start with but she's learnt to ignore them. It's not going too bad so far just hope she stays in her bed now.

You're lucky I am still waiting for the avid d rig spinner kickers i ordered ages ago, apparently they've been resent now, I also have to return my new attx deluxe receiver, because they sent me the non deluxe one, fooming lol
-
Well I'm packed and ready to go, and I'm taking Betty today, we're going on a doggy fishing adventure, I hope she isn't too mental and just chills a bit, just gonna have a bite to eat then we're hitting the road, hopefully she will be a good luck charm and I may end the blank run I'm onπ
-
I've cancelled my cyp membership for a bit, going through carpfixes back catalogue at the moment, then I'll probably switch back in a couple of months and catch up again π
-
Yes I saw that one, was a good video, would certainly be a challenge

four hopper bait boats
elmoputney replied to Carper_1990's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I can get in a tangle with one in the hopper π€― I don't think i could cope with two rods at once let alone 4 -
There's a good podcast I will try and remember the name of for you to listen too, it was all about the northern scene and the waters oop that way was really interesting.
-
I'm having similar thoughts tbh quite fancy some fishing in the wilderness, there is loads I would still like to catch where I am but the busyness isn't doing it for me presently, I'm hoping to go this weekend but if it annoys me I might start considering my options.
-
That is a genius idea "silica gel" I can get some tennis ball industrial sized ones of those not great for a tackle box but could put them in my bag and stuff. I'm glad it wasn't just me that struggled with those ones, I found they snapped easily. Korda one is better and you can pull it through ok
-
I broke the thinking anglers ones very easily tbh. Done a few with the korda one now and that seems good so far
-
Dunno I haven't tried them yet but my thinking is that it will just reduce those annoying wraps where it seems to slip off the stick and have to stop and go back round,but by the time you've got there you have lost your train of thought and how many you were on so you have to start again π€―
-
They look good almost crunchy, should be a winner hopefully
-
At least you got a free goody bag π I have some 12ft crosscasts 3.25lb I think they are great rods tbh, π
-
If you like hydrotuff, gt80+ is also a good alternative Ive been getting on fine with that for a while now. I've not used gthd before so can't compare it to that though, but Gardner line is usually decent I've actually bought an attx deluxe receiver today, I have the non deluxe one but I got fed up with the double beep first everytime. Scares the poop out of me. I also liked the fact I could change tones for each alarm π€ Non fishing purchases I've bought an air fryer π

A rod shot cos it's another blank. But rods came out at 8 30 and back at work now. Shame because it started feeling like there was a chance when the rain stopped but it is what it is.
