No but he does make a mean Pablo escoburger π

I know @kevtaylor likes an avid product, he might be able to help

Literally up the road from me, but I've never fished it, the exclusive lake seems to have some nice fish in though,its probably a lot quiter there now too as the A14 has moved, I always planned to join one day but its kind of become a bit famous now and they've closed the waiting list maybe one day π There is an award winning kebab van about 6 miles away π₯collection only but it is a bit good π

That looks weedy Highy, I can recommend a good weed rake if you want one π

Well so far my mobile approach has meant I've caught on all 3 of my rods π Left bream (a double i should think ) Middle tench (quite a big one) Right rudd (1lbish) So at least my spots are OK Just need a carp now and I will win the drennan Cup ππ -

Car is loaded just got that tossy work thing to do then it's straight down the A14 to the lake, I am going full barrow mode today, I am traveling pretty light for me, no chair, no toy boat, essentials only, feels like the first chance I've had where I may have a chance π€ -
This guy is pretty decent I've learnt a bit from watching his videos That being said my pair of spaniels are difficult to manage still π

I worked with a bloke who had a camper conversion one of those he used to do lots of walking and sleep in it from time to time, would be ideal -

I have a pretty big car lol grande c max, The barrow bags are removable and have a zip lid top so I am now using that to just store all the bits in and when I am at the lake it slides under the bedchair which is nice, wheels and handles off frame folds flat, not too bad for space really -
That was the only nutty one I could see, sound good though

I can pretty much guarantee they will work, to me if it says proper job it's usually a good pop up

I'm not paying Β£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 π 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 π

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 π
-
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 π I do think the black pepper oil would be a good addition to the fishmeal though π€

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) π 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 π
-
Not sure if you noticed this drawful Highy π Most of them smell really nice but I won't ever use again, I moved them about a bit anyway which was nice π
-
Got 5l of moolassesπ 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 π
-
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 π
-
I think a pop up amnesty is coming on π 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 Β£1 a pot or something π 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 π(one might be of interest to you yonny as it looks similar to trent baits freshwater shrimp )
