I've got some aniseed ones for when I use pigeon food 😂

I'm not paying £15 a kilo for it, so it's probably not an out and out milk protien but it has lots of other goodies in and they do seem to love it, had some really quick bites using it so that will do me, I think I've got to the point now where it is about location being the most important factor and in the right place the baits will work well enough but some prebaiting won't do any harm 👍 Postman pat came this morning, have to say they both smell like winners, proper jobs always seem to come with confidence boosters in them, tangee peach smell lovely,, KLS just smell like carp catchers not dissimilar to both the baits I am using this year and both slightly odd colours, I don't regret adding these to the collection 😂

How much did you pay for your EVO if you don't mind me asking? , I have a set of 3 with spare spools which I am considering selling at the moment,and just wondering what I should ask for them?

I would usually be always diawa but since BB turned me to the dark side, I'm in love with my okuma 8k reels they are amazing so smooth, so precise I honestly can't fault them at all much better than my shimano aerlex spod reel,and my old diawas only slight neg is they are a little weighty but they spend most of the time on the rests so it doesn't really matter 😂

I am using a mix of two baits this year one a milk protien that has a subtle fruit flavour, and loads of goodies in it, and a fishmeal that has no flavour but smells a bit like cat food or something, I used them both for a year each and both did me proud, so my thinking this year I will catch twice as much 😂 I do think the black pepper oil would be a good addition to the fishmeal though 🤔

She doesn't look in the bait fridge cos it smells, the freezer seldom goes under 10kg of bait too and then there is 2 bins full of pellet and particles) 😂 It's not as hard as you think, some you just have confidence in most you just don't lol Match the hatch pop up and wafters usually, A couple of tubs of proper jobs always black pepper + and one other like banana or something, and my pink goo specials I have a tub of steamies TNT 18mm wafters that I have extreme confidence in, for some reason they seem to catch really well over beds of bait (subtle but different enough to stand out) Occasionally I change some about and take a different one but they are my usual suspects 😂

Not sure if you noticed this drawful Highy 😂 Most of them smell really nice but I won't ever use again, I moved them about a bit anyway which was nice 😂

Got 5l of moolasses😂 I ve moved them all around a bit couldn't bring myself to throw any yet, I remembered how nice it is to just go and have a sniff sometimes 😂

Yes those ones, they sound good, i went for washed out pink, and white tangee peach 13mm I think it's time to have a clear out 😂

I think a pop up amnesty is coming on 😂 I am having a clear out this week and we are hoping to do a car boot sale this weekend, maybe I will have a bucket full a £1 a pot or something 😂 I have just bought a couple of pots of proper jobs they have a couple of new flavours that sound immense that I couldn't resist 😂(one might be of interest to you yonny as it looks similar to trent baits freshwater shrimp )

Hi guys I got reminded from and old photo that it's been 2 years since I bought some proper job pop ups which i would probably still use, but it made me think I also have pop ups that are much older than that which I might also still use, surely they are going to denature a bit over time? So I just wondered how long you would use them for and still be confident they are working for you? And also should I have a hookbait clear out and just use the fresh ones?

Do you get the Prince song stuck In your head when you use the spare spools? I only want to see you fishing with that purple line Purple line, purple liiiiine Just incase you are a bit younger than me 😂

My okuma spools take abiut a million yards of line so I went for a backing line, I worked it out so I should get enough for 3 reels from a spool of hydrotuff, I will just take it off to the backing and replace next time

I was thinking underlit tbh, i do quite fancy them in pink 😂 but if I get green then they match the bobbins I haven't lost yet

Good luck, nice reels 😎 How do you get on with the atts? I'm getting fed up with battery life on my soniks and heard they are good for batteries? I am seriously toying with idea presently

That's a sensible idea would keep the line nice and tight and manageable to put back on

Just light them with a match

You could have a go at making one of these,

Reunited and it feels so good

Same I've got 25kg of 8mm Aller aqua pellets, I think I am going to start shovelling them soon 🤔

I fired in the last of my old bait today, hopefully something will eat it 😂 My bait boat was getting clogged up by micropellets by the way, would be fine with bigger baits like boilies and proper pellets, still think I might sell it though, I think ii enjoyed fishing more pre bait boat

The right one for the situation they face 😬 My 3 would be PVA bag supple rig stiff boom Ronnie, Some kind of wafter rig (been favouring a noodle lately) but it could be a d rig or whatever I thought suited, In all honesty I have started to care a lot less about rigs and more about the situation as I have tinkered enough to think most will work if they are in the right place and suited to what you need main thing for me is it must reset, I got tired of bringing in rigs that are tangled

They look good Highy 👍

Misty morning has arrived, was Definately a chilly one, and needless to say, its been a quiet night 😂

That's it mate just means you have to work that bit harder, just need to find some new angles and areas to work that get largely ignored, can't wait for the weed to come back to be honest, from someone that had never fished in heavy weed a few years ago, I love it now 😂
