  1. Not a bad Idea though, people love pizza
  2. It seems to have got worse since i bought some korda stuff rather than the Gardner leader i was using, I will have a look at the knot though πŸ‘
  3. I have ordered 3 esp ones and both the korda ones I could find see how long those ones last me πŸ˜‚
  4. 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
  5. Thanks not sure I've tried the esp or korda ones so I may give them a go πŸ‘
  6. 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 πŸ˜‚ 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 ?

    Dogs and fishing

    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 πŸ˜‚, 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
  8. Yes that is what I was thinking too something along those lines
  9. 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. J precision advanced wide gape size 4 N trap soft braid Tungsten Noodle kicker from terminal tackle uk
  10. 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 😳
  11. 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
  12. Just going to be a DIY thread don't want to make loads πŸ˜‚ It is quite simple though, I got the idea off fb
  13. Oh [censored] mine ran out on the 28th march if only I had done it sooner
  14. 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
  15. Not sure i guess you need to see what the connections are on the bivvy
  16. 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 πŸ˜‰
  17. 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 πŸ˜‚)
  18. Ridgemonkey small choppa 14mm to 16mm boilies (i have the medium somewhere in the garage) good little tool for halving baits
  19. 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.
  20. Scratch that I have had a reply 😊 Hi Elmo, Sorry for the slow reply I have been laid up with Covid. All good for September booking thanks very much, it is £25 per person per night.

  21. Apparently cyprinus have gone bust last I heard
  22. 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
  23. I do mine the same as Tom dove, which seems to be the other way to some πŸ˜‚
  24. 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 β˜”πŸ™„ 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 ☺️
  25. 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
