I spent some time with the weed rakes yesterday, now I am not. Even sure I want to fish that lake or swim tomorrow 🤔 I think I am going to just have a good walk round and decide when I see something, I did my tigers yesterday and for some reason I felt I needed an extra bucket of pigeon Conditioner, I think I decided i hadn't gone in heavy enough or something so some swim will be getting some tomorrow 😂

I do like the fact they are so small,but I do like to *** about when fishing though so prefer an alarm that sounds, The S9'S seem to get a lot of good reviews though, everytime I get fed up changing batteries on my soniks, I get tempted to buy some as they are rechargeable and last ages apparently, I also like the fact you can change settings from your bivvy,

Brilliant, that will be nice to see it going back to the wild, well done for looking after it 👍

They take a bit of getting used to watch all the vids on you tube, I tend to go with 2.5 to 3 rod lengths shorter than the spot, you just have to cast it as if you want to hit the spot and it pults the bait all over the area,

Not sure i would usually have the overhead clearance to swing a 6m pole about, but you never know it could work a treat 😁 I have used a spoon to throw bait out on a shorter pole but I could never get it that far, I could spread it though 😁

Nice little work cupboard looking good, will look forward to seeing some creations coming from there 👍

I've just blown the budget on a £6.99 AD spoon (gone large) and a sabre net float £5.99 Total Spend £46.73 Should be quite useful though looking forward to trying it out 👍

I don't feel that great today, we tried every ale they had in stock last night and for some reason a couple of apple sourz 😁

If you want to create a spread but don't want to use the throwing stick,get a tfg airbomb, they take a little getting used to but once you do it's a good tool to use that's just a bit different to a spomb

I will use It at least once 😁 It won't be the worst thing I've ever bought I don't think 😳

Thanks Well I went to the pub with a couple of mates last night, we ended up rather tipsy, and it would appear I bought a 6m landing handle when I got home 😁

I'm just trying to work out if this is a good idea or a waste of time 😂 I've found a 6m telescopic landing net handle, and you just buy a spoon and float but pros and cons, it will cost about 40 quid all in I can see it being useful within 6m obvs and you stick it out up the bank and cast over it etc but is it just going to be a waste of time and will I end up just deciding to buy an 18m one later on 😂 You see at the moment I am doing quite a lot of close in fishing and I can see a lot of uses for it but I also see how it may not be long enough as an all rounder waste of time or good tool?

It is just before Scotland v England in the Euro’s Group game. Kane goes into the English changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum. "What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Scotland. They're [censored]e and we can't be bothered". Kane looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub." So Kane goes out to play Scotland by himself and the rest of the English team go off for a few pints. After a few jars they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "England 1 - Scotland 0 (Kane 10minutes)". He is beating Scotland all by himself! Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on. "Result from the Stadium "England 1 (Kane 10 minutes) - Scotland 1"(Angus McShagnasty 89 minutes)". They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against Scotland!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down." "Don't be daft, you got a draw against Scotland , all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end" "No, No, I have, I've let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes"

Thanks that's a good idea I might try that thanks 👍

They all seem to have a long waiting list at the moment, I've recently put my name down on one that has a 3 year wait minimum, If nothing else it my be worth getting your name down for the future, I was planning to make this year my last on the syndicate I am on, but I won't be giving up my ticket until something else comes up,

I tend to base boilie size on nuisance species present, but I will happily use 12mm baits as freebies and fish bigger hookbaits, or smaller hookbaits and bigger freebies, My main adversaries at present are rudd so small pellets, particle, and crumb just get destroyed by them, I am mainly feeding 17mm pellets and whatever boilies I get out the freezer quite like using 1 size of freebie as it's less faff, but a mix of sizes isn't a bad thing, I tend to have a selection of 12/15/18mm in the freezer and generally will use any of them quite happily, If I think I might be fishing at range (6 wraps +) then i may need the 18mmers to hit the target, big pultin isn't for everyone 😂🎯

Is it Neen or Nen there's only one way to find out 😂

I gave up for 15 years, now look what's happened 😂😂😂 More addicted than ever I think 😳

I first heard Nen when I went to Stanick lakes (with a silent W🤔) on a carp.com social many years ago, I always called it Neen but now I am multilingual and can fit in with both cultures 😂

Good to see you getting the urge to get out again., hope you catch some whackers

How do Peterborough peeps pronounce it? Neen or Nen?

Good debut for the tent Highy, hope the bar was busy and you made enough for some more sonik bits 😉

I'm on afternoons next week so I may join you, I find it tough to watch England without having a beer

All round to Highy's for a free bar and footy then, 🍻🍻🍻🍻 Have a good day, hope its a positive start for the gland 👍

I've been having a slightly lean spell lately, I have changed baits about 10 times in my head including looking into all the required equipment to make my own, like a boilie roller set up, basemixes, ingredients and all sorts 😁 Then the other day I went to have a look round and do a bit of hole filling, I had a bucket of pellets with me and ended up feeding quite a few big carp at about 5 yards out,and they were chomping, then I remembered its not the bait, that works in the right spot, my rigs do work usually it's always about the location, and putting it all in the right place at the right time 😳
