Sounds to me like he is a right prick, how long have you got left on your ticket? I had an issue with a previous syndicate owner, totally ruins your fishing tbh, a place you used to be able to relax just becomes a place you don't want to be at anymore, which is a shame, don't do anything rash yet, try and stay calm and wait though he probably wants you to react, Hope you catch the biggun tonight 👍

Is that a fb thing carp bell, try not to let it bother you too much though most of the time it isn't worth it I get called all sorts on there for my political beliefs they won't stop me trying though 😁
-
I won these from the korda comp on fb recently, and as soon as I read about them I thought I had just the right pop up for those 😂 The moonshine flavour smells just like whisky, and the pop ups I've chosen to glug are proper job spice blend, so spiced whisky, got to be worth a go I think, maybe a good single for winter Of the previous ones my go to combo has been PJPU washed out pink BP+ with pink almond supreme, seems to be quite effective so far, wasn't too impressed with the cultured ones I found the coating just fell off them 😁
-
I'm still trying to channel my inner jim shelley everytime I watch or listen to him I learn something useful 😯 Nigel sharp, Joe Morgan, Adam penning still catch plenty too, and even though what he does isn't really for me usually, Tom Maker regularly pops up with huge hits of fish and Kev Hewitt, like you say so many and you can learn from them all these days, it makes for a much more even playing field in some ways,
-
Usually something different tbh, might be a similar colour sometimes, but generally I want my hookbait to stand out in some way, washed out pink BP+ proper jobs with almond goo have been the ones that seem to work lately 👍
-
Good luck hope you enjoy it 👍
-
Very much so they are very bitey at the minute, you tube is pretty good for dog training vids already got them to sit for treats but we do need to divide and conquer this week 😁
-
We've looked into that and we are taking all the steps to avoid it like trying to separate them, train them separately etc,let them be there own dogs but they still seem to like a ruck and even though we have 2 crates, so far nearly every nap they have been together in one its not going to be easy but we will do our best 😁 We will continue to try though they are quickly taking over, I had a nap in the sofa so I'm doing better now 😔 they are cute and fun though
-
I think all anglers can answer that question if they are honest with themselves, Some people like a social and still manage to catch from the going swims, people like me who just want to be at the water fishing and looking don't always get the rewards,I like to think it balances out,but it doesn't always, I don't worry what others are catching too often, but more what I catch, but it's each to there own if you want or need to feel like you are top rod you need to sacrifice all the other stuff, I just do what I can prebait, walk round and fish the odd night when I can, the only thing I am keen to do better this year is find the fish before I set up, if I catch one that's all that matters, there is one guy who has been smashing it this year though, he has worked blooming hard walking round, fishing days when it was all he could do and a couple of work nights, but he capitalised on the situation, hopefully I will get a similar window at some point, but good luck to him he's earnt it 👍

If it helps I just looked at the clock and said is it only quarter past 9 I only had 3 beers but the puppies kept me up late settling in and then they woke up at 5am, 😬
-
We haven't conceded a goal yet if that carries on we can't lose 😬😬😁
-
I saw that too, seems a big decision he's made but I'm sure he will make it work, he has taken Pete Castle with him also, I listened to his korda podcast the other week, very interesting bloke, Monster carp was brilliant, great episode, some of those fish were mega,

I've found a fox inline with a fox long tadpole insert can make a good shocker type rig, the lead detaches from the tadpole quite often on pick up but only after its done its job
-
They did mine right in my shoulder, still hurts 2 days later I swear it went straight into bone or something,
-
Not going won't make it any better though bud, get out while you can good luck 👍
-
Just go for it, you might get lucky this time 👍
-
I dont think it usually needs yanking through tbh, I have developed a sort of technique where I almost shake it back through the splice hole I never wet mine either, Aren't you meant to splice the leadcore with the leadcore from that section removed? Much the same as a lead free leader
-
The fox blue splicing needle is good, What leadcore are you using? And are you removing some of the leadcore, I don't use leadcore as it's banned most places I fish, but I use Gardner camflex unleaded, it splices like a dream 👍
-
No, well excited, they will be great fun, it's gonna be even more of a madhouse 😂
-
Well funny story tbh, we went to look at some this morning, me and daughter 2 liked a boy pup and mummy and d1 liked a girl pup, so we are now getting 2 😂😂😂😬😬😬😬 kc registered so should be all good hopefully, pick them up next week
-
Well it would appear extra nights on the bank cost 😬 We are going to look at some cocker pups today, went yesterday, but we all liked the ***** that had been reserved, going to look at some more this morning, looks like we are getting one soon, 😂

Something I recently learnt from something I've watched or seen is when using a sausage gun to make sausages, it is better to make the sausages a couple of mm smaller than the table size this apparently makes them roll better as sometimes they swell a little,

Fluorocarbon breaking strain
elmoputney replied to Gilesc's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
Praise the tackle box line test guide, hallelujah, Only once have I bought a line without checking it first fox exocet spod braid and we all know what I think of that 😂 I have to say I tried fluoro and went back to mono, just find I have no issues, I tend to stick with Gardner hydrotuff, it's so tough it actually got sent to prison, but it broke out by cutting through the bars with its superb abrasion resistance 👍👌
