  1. Thanks guys That will help I've still got about 40kg of the stuff I think, I thought i was going to use more than I have so far 😁
  2. I ask a sensible question and it gets censored, I feel like Donald trump on twitter right now 🤣
  3. My Mrs wants to buy some bird food for our feeders as we've run out, and I already have a tonne of pigeon conditioner will ti ts, Robins and the like eat it? Thanks Elmo
  4. Well I'm just about to pop to my mums for the last time for a while, we have been safe and locked down since before Christmas so she's been our care bubble of one, but I have to go back to work, that means sadly as I can't trust my colleagues to be as vigilant as myself, I just can't risk it after Monday 😭 Let's get this over with then maybe we could discuss it all at a social once its safe 👍
  5. Isn't that abiut £5000 pounds to buy not in my league im afraid 😁
  6. I didn't want to get my Cork dirty either 😏😏 There wasn't actually that long in between those photos I de weeded the swim after the high rod session to make life easier 😁
  7. I toyed with that idea but tbh I like my rods to stay out the water, when I get a take, I was fishing locked up so they couldn't get in the pads/snags 😂
  8. not up up, but a bit raised and with added rake I would've gone higher that day if I could 😁
  9. I am done talking about it now tbh, enjoy your fishing
  10. I can't help think it's blooming irresponsible, but I'm done being called a Karen for now 😂
  11. It is back on DAYS ONLY and LOCAL I won't be fishing for a while either not worth the risk to me too many people will just be doing what they want and going where they want, I have no problem with people who do it right and follow the rules BTW,
  12. Jesus christ, I think the power has gone to the angling trusts head a bit, if they get the green light all its gonna do is completely make the lockdown a farce, just leave it be for now and stop people driving all over the country to fish
  13. John Baker has done a you tube channel and he goes through making baits watched one the other day, was quite informative 👍 Patshull Park mix isn't a bad mix though I made some baits with it that rolled quite well, the guy in charge of quality baits was very helpful took the time to call me and help me with things, cm60 is quality baits version of the cell, if you search on here you might find some more info, I seem to recall someone rating the HNV base mixes Not used John Baker but I would imagine really good quality mixes, he certainly knows his stuff
  14. Me too Day 2 of home schooling it's getting real already 😂 Gonna certainly be a tough couple of. Months, but hopefully some good will come from it, and it will be sorted, we saw the girls teachers this morning while out on our walk, they are really under it at the moment, and deserve a heck of a lot of credit for all they are dealing with, Stay safe
  15. I'm mainly seeing it from the side that needs us all to stay at home and just do our bit, nip this in the bud, I want my kids back at school, I want to see my family again,I want to go to work and not be stressed about washing my hands and people being too close, I've lost my dad people all around are losing loved ones, it's time to just shut the front door for a bit and limit the damage, It's winter I do like the quiet of winter fishing but a couple of months won't hurt now as much as it would in spring like last year, I understand how important fishing is, and I'll spend the time missing it too but I might just make some hookbaits, tidy up my stuff and make some rigs it will soon pass, I'm gonna Try and do more Joe wicks PE from next week too 😂 Stay safe everyone
  16. You can get a sack from blakes baits for £16. 99 Spend over £40 for free delivery, good service too
  17. Stay safe the Highys and thanks for helping to keep the country going 👍
  18. Well my plans for now are home schooling, furlough this week anyway then we shall see, but probably more home schooling and trying to keep spirits up Yesterday we made a band and were drumming along to music, I haven't told the misses yet that we've dented the steamer pans a little 😁 Stay safe people
  19. And you buddy, thanks to you and your family for going above and beyond 👍 Stay safe
  20. We need to get this virus under control once and for all sadly, Stay safe one and all, they will still be waiting when we get back
  21. I've got one just incase I ever need to venture out in the boat, so far I haven't though, seems to much of a faff to just get the boat out lol It's really the pads that are getting in the way tbh the weed can be worked on with a rake or baited like you say, if needs be, looks like if I want to I'm just going to have to get stuck in with the rake and cutter and try and clear it, Cheers all
  22. Thanks for this, I might be able to do something by boat, it is just too far out from land I have tried I've got a big rake though and a cutter so I should be able to do something, was hoping there was an easy solution 😂 It seems a colder winter this year already, so hopefully that will do some good
