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 on🙏

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 🙄

Yes I saw that one, was a good video, would certainly be a challenge

I can get in a tangle with one in the hopper 🤯 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 🤯

They look good almost crunchy, should be a winner hopefully

At least you got a free goody bag 😂 I have some 12ft crosscasts 3.25lb I think they are great rods tbh, 👍

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 🤔 Non fishing purchases I've bought an air fryer 😂

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.

Dinkle incoming, he only went through one rod today that's progress.

My view from the scratcher, it's pretty rainy, been solid for the last couple of hours, should be a gap at 8am when I will start the pack down ready to go back to work. I was pretty efficient last night rods all out nicely by midnight all got a donk. Asleep by 1, now I am just hoping I find a carp stupid enough to spring the traps. Left rod is the fix boilies whole and chops with squid 2t pop up, Middle is a solid bag with tigers and a few boilies the right hand rod is reaper nut mix whole nd chops and match the hatch pop up. I'm giving them options and so far they re turning there noses up at all of em 😂

Good luck

I am working til 10pm if it helps and will start work tomorrow at 10am just a v quick overnighter but I won't catch em at home. It's pretty busy again so I've just heard but I did bait a spot last week that is free so it may be a slot in and hope Job tonight,🙄

Well my car is loaded just got to do the shopping and you work thing now. Bit tempted by a sneaky half day not gonna lie

Great bit o kit, looks perfect for getting about quick, good luck.

The French are certainly better at opposing poor goverment decisions though, the goverment and their task force lobby groups here make us all just argue against each other to maintain the status quo. It seems to be working for them because they literally get away with murder. Corbyn got too close and rattled them though they still love to smear him and the left everyday, If I am ever in the position to seriously consider it I would do the research and find what needs to be done.it would be more a catalyst than a deterrent, But it also depends if I have any human rights left by then 🙄

Ha ha you saw that then jeez never felt more ashamed we are becoming a fascist backward hole of a country, the pub in question has been removed from the good pub guide turns out the landlord was connected to racist group Britain first. Would be nice, I believe brexit has made it harder for us to become ex pats now though. The lake owner last year saying he bought just at the right time before the rules completely changed and it would be much harder for him now.

Time for a little update lol,. Basically since last year I've been blanking my ass off. Been tough to get in the "going swims" so I've decided I am just gonna do my own thing this year, nothing revolutionary, I'm going to just use boilies again and try and Trickle them in whenever I can in various quiet areas, I've been faffing with particles and other bits and bobs for too long. My plan is literally going to be a mix of whole and halved boilies, if I am using the boat Im going to drop a few whole baits but mainly chops so they spread a bit further and hopefully they will flutter down and settle over any weed or anything rather than just sinking into it, then spread some wider around the area to get them moving between mouthfuls, then 3 well placed Ronnie's on heli safes should be pretty robust wherever they fall and I will catch one maybe 😂 simple but I have confidence in it. That's the plan I'm doing a late night after work tomorrow and I am going to try to visit on the way to work to see who's where and try and Trickle a bit in if I can but only if I get my chores done and the car loaded in time 🙄 Wish me luck,
