I think you make a good point about session length tbh, a week in the bunker may be too much, I rarely do more than an overnighter so 1 man or brolly system is fine for me

I think a 2 man is too big I have a cyprinus bunker and it is great for just me nice and small, light and fits almost anywhere, I would look at shelters these days like the Sonik axs, trakker tempest, something small light and quick to put up, I also have a brolly system I use when it's better weather, I think they probably use a trakker tempest but not sure 👍

That being said I am also quite tempted by some aqua shoes, wellies to start with and then some aqua shoes Check out these bad boys for a tenner 😂

Thanks for all the replies guys, I think I might get some wellies,for general purpose usage, I have massive calfs though, I have found some Dunlop ones for 13 quid that are lower for wide calfs has anyone tried these?

Hi guys Just got back from a night on the bank, my shoe situation is shocking, and I caught a tench and possibly had a bream fall off 🎉 Due to the floods most swims are up and I sort of need to wade a bit,and it's generally muddy, but can't wear waders all day and night as they are annoying and horrible, I can't get them on quick enough if I get a run and I don't like wellies much either or own any lol, I ended up today mainly wearing my fake crocs but they can be a bit flighty and I nearly went over a couple of times Obviously with things like aqua shoes if you wear socks they will get wet are waterproof socks any good and can you wear them all day or do they make your feet sweaty and horrible ? You could go barefoot but then at night you may get cold feet, what's the solution for quick on footwear that you can get a bit wet and hopefully still have dry feet, I only have to go below knee level in an emergency usually below ankle level , 😂 I don't want to spend a fortune but need a solution please if anyone has one 👍

That basically said you can't spy on the military as these are illegal, we can still spy on you 😁 Do you think area 51 has drone busters?

They do like them now I think 👍 I've caught on yellow, white, brown, pale yellow, beige, pink, wo pink various flavours some boosted with amino baitsoak, if I want to match the hatch I will use a brown proper job BP+ it's a similar colour but unique flavour, I agree with you on establishing a bait though, I find they can be caught easier with regular prebaiting, if you can get them to regularly visit they are catchable probably on any hookbait 😁👍

Got tomorrow's freebies soaking in liver sauce so they are nice and soft then I've added a little dusting of active stick mix, hopefully they wont be able to resist 😁

If it helps the bait I use has no added flavours and I love it, the fish seem to quite like it too 👍 I sometimes give it a glug of liver hydrolysate, I think that gives it more than enough beans tbh 😁

I don't think I completely agree with that, I like my hookbait to stand out from my free offerings tbh, I work on the theory that my hookbait should be more inviting than the rest or stand out from the rest, I think this may also lead to quicker bites and not having to wait till all the bait is gone before it is taken, I don't necessarily mean over flavoured or boosted to within an inch of its life but different be that coloured or with An amino booster or goo, but it's rare I will match the hatch tbh and I usually always have something different on each rod, as I want to find out what might be working that day,

I've made a nice poem as my thought of the day 😁 Poor Matty Hancock, So Misunderstood, He got into politics, As he strived to be quite good, But he got corrupted, By the money and the power, Now he takes the tax payers coins And Sis gets a golden shower

My share of today's earnings are going towards my syndicate ticket renewal, but that's probably my fishing budget blown for the month so no toys for me 😂

Been to do a post lockdown boot sale this morning, sold a metalheadz drum and bass album on vinyl to an OAP, just goes to show you should never judge a book by its cover,

Just when my syndicate lake was about to not be flooded for the first time in a while , god must be drinking too much this year 🤔

Good luck guys 👍🤞🤞

This makes me want to try crimping, I've been wanting to make my Chods a little shorter for a while, 👍

I'm slowly falling off the wagon at the moment, will take a look cheers

I think you might just need a challenge you are happy with and it will click into place a bit tbh 👍

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 😂

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 😳

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 😏

It must be invisible from drones or something 😂

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 😁

I didn't see you had already put that link up 😂

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
