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 🙄

No nothing yet will chase him up tomorrow, he hasn't replied to my email yet

33 minutes till I'm lake bound. Doing a cheeky apres work one, I've been flat out all day to make this happen and after a run of bad luck recently I hope I'm lucky. I feel quite hopeful tonight dunno why come on the carps.

If only I got a bad back from fishing it's usually something pathetic. Picking up a hair brush off the TV stand (irony alert ) Bending slightly or maybe a little stretch at the wrong time. It wouldn't be so bad of it was action man injuries lol

I can message with the final numbers So that's 5 for 3 nights And 2 for two I will message him now and see what he says

I seem to be going through a constant battle with something at the moment ,I've had cold after cold which always seem to turn into a chest infection ,my back has gone about 3 times since Christmas ,this getting old business sucks ,I didn't sign up for this

You could save 8% fuel though 😀 It is quite a trek though for you ,that's almost going to France distance

I've had some shockers too, the Mercedes b class was the worst 4 grand to buy and about 5 grand in bills , my 50 quid dihatsu charade was better than that and I burnt the clutch out on that 😀grande c max is going well so far touch wood

That's a shame mate, maybe next time

That's fine there will be 3 for 3 nights and 2 for 2 , just need to get the rest confirmed now tbh, I saw a nice near 30lb common on the FB page wouldn't mind that one 🙏

I'm looking for a new net does anyone know if the sonik Vader net or cx net has a standard 3/8 handle thread for the block or is it one of those stuck on spreader blocks?

I am looking forward to it already, I did think maybe one night I could nip out and pick up a Turkish meat feast for everyone from the best kebab van in the world 5kg platter 😍

Sounds like a done deal, you deserve it and a PB if its your birthday 🎉

We need final confirmation of numbers We have 5 definate I can see Elmo Chillfactor Commonly Dale Kev Anyone else? @Highy????

We are pencilled in for the 22nd and 23rd And I've also asked about Sunday for the two that wanted to stay on, so we just need to confirm numbers then he will send me a confirmation?

Yep will do, i think hopefully we will all get a chance of a bite, if its anything like the lakes over the road they can be found anywhere and everywhere usually at that time of year

Did anyone notice there was a swim on an island 🏝️ Draw sounds like a good idea I have emailed again incase it went into his spam folder, will let you know as soon as I hear anything

I'd slip it back without weighing it, if I thought a bucket was coming,

My plans for the year still catch a 30lber but also a few of the A team I wouldn't mind catching (the sheriff, the mole, the scar common, and the box common) main target is to be secret squirrel, quick work overnighters with some regularity and stealth, under your hat know what I mean, with some heavy pre baiting in the dark when the time is right 🙄🙄

I got a hose in the garden will that do 🚿

Now I feel bad 20 mins if there is traffic 😂
