  1. He's got a point Highy I caught 10 fish in 24 hours last year, I was done in, not something I am too keen to repeat tbh 😂
  2. Has anyone tried adding tarka dhal to there spod mix? It's like a tikka but a little otter 😁😁😁😁😁 You can get kala chana in tins has anyone tried those? They are already spiced, I've made curries with them but never even thought of using them for bait until now 😳
  3. I wouldn't sell all your stuff before you have a go, You might enjoy it more but you may not and then you are back to square one, For me I think the important part is venue choice with carp fishing, if you don't enjoy fishing it or it has idiots on it, and it doesn't grab you then it isn't the right lake for you, sadly there do seem to be more idiots lately though, Give it a go but baby steps first 😏
  4. It must be invisible from drones or something 😂
  5. Price is rediculous tbh, mind you it seems that's the way it is going lately, they all seem to be getting blooming expensive, I'm quite glad I don't need a bivvy at the moment 😁
  6. I didn't see you had already put that link up 😂
  7. You will need a lot of brownie points for this one Highy 😳 https://johnsonrosstackle.co.uk/trakker-aquatexx-ev/23622-trakker-tempest-x-100-dpm-system-aquatexx-ev.html
  8. That is pretty amazing, love the Mozzie front, I need a quick exit Mozzie front now I'm getting older 😂
  9. Good luck with that BB, hope you enjoy it 👍
  10. The plan hasn't worked yet lol, just the rods left to pack up now, i am a little surprised nothing is happening yet with the carp,I've been prepping this spot for a few weeks now and it always looks bang on but I'm never convinced they are turning up, will keep going but might start a plan B 😂
  11. Well the night time passed uneventfully, thus far the morning has also passed uneventfully, I just dropped a scoops worth of my mix in the margins and apart from the few whole boilies the rudd pretty much destroyed it in 5 minutes do we think those pesky little monkeys will be doing the same in about 10ft of water out in the pond ? I kind of think they might be, I've done about 8 airbombs on each spot which mean there is probably only 30 whole boilies left on each spot, and as I'm fishing Chods the tench and bream may had those without me even noticing, I'm starting to think crumb might be a waste of time on here, I will have a little top up in a bit, but im sure the bloke fishing over the other side. Must think I am overbaiting noddy 😂 I do often think all other anglers just think I am a noddy anyway lol I usually agree but you have to try 😂
  12. It's lunch I've not even driven a truck yet not looking good 😭
  13. The trainer used to work here and does like a chat 😂 we shall see
  14. Just got fork lift refresher training to get through today,I won't be focusing on flt safety, car is loaded straight there after work, I have got a stomach bug type thing though,feel a bit dodge today, I'm hoping that passes before hometime fishing seems more important today 😂
  15. You will never manage to snap that one 👍
  16. The blurb makes it sound like one of the greatest horse racing systems you will ever buy, quite frankly they are usually a load of rubbish and not worth the paper the they aren't written on, best way is usually to learn things yourself without paying over the top for the promises of wealth, or in this case 40lb carp Haiths website has loads of recipes and ideas by Ken Townley, get stuck into that 👍
  17. I think you just need to ask lots of questions and see where you can find, you could go and ask around the local tackle shops they may be able to help you
  18. I've never fished it but apparently it is quite well stocked these days and has some nice ones In 👍
  19. Llalbagh 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅 I'm not far from you in Pappers 👍 I will have a think Charlie's syndicate? Chawston Gingerbread lake Biggleswade ticket Wyboston on the Luton ticket Milton Country Park lakes Waterbeach Cawcutts Tbh there is a lot but its finding something not full at the minute, I know my syndicate is full already sadly
  20. Most round that way seem to be a little more expensive tbh, that I can think of Club lakes you may get more choice, Have a look at the carp catcher site,or on his YouTube, he fishes all round cambs and has fished a lot of places round there
  21. I've only used 15lb and I've never managed to break it yet, it's a decent line tbh, tough, reliable, sinks well, doesn't stretch loads and will last a long time, I change mine yearly, occasionally strip a couple of rod lengths off, but unless you really need to cast to the moon its perfect
  22. The 20lb hydrotuff is called Chuck Norris 😁
  23. 15lb Gardner hydrotuff is about the equivalent of most 18lb lines, its bulletproof, I recently tried another line after 1 trip I missed it and it is back on my new reels, unless you are casting miles hydrotuff is a great line Any Gardner line is better than any fox line, and that is a true fact 😂, 👍
  24. I think I am pretty settled on the idea of going all in tbh, it's very weedy all over the place and I think from having used one last time (with camflex) that it was the only rig I was confident was in play, I'm working on spot cleaning but it might take a while as I want to do naturally with bait this time 🤔 I've ordered some more camflex as I am getting low, I have tied up a couple naked also so I may try one, but normally I like to use a leader myself so I think it makes sense to use one with the chod and you have all pretty much agreed it's best so that's good enough for me Thanks all
