Breakfast of champions 😁cheese and bacon toastie mmm mmm

It sounds like he needs to read the AT guidelines again tbh, perhaps you could take him to specsavers 📖🤔

Base camp alpha 😂 glorious morning though, best bit I don't have to pack up today 😁

Now we wait and see, don't think I would change much tbh 6 or so airbombs over each rod should get them rooting around,got them nice and spread out Nice evening at the moment, getting colder but the rudd are a flippin, and I have a moorhen parked up next to me all good signs tbh now all we need is Mr carp and maybe a bailicks 😂

It works quite well though 😜 And if I get a hose that fits it I won't need to get up in the night 😂

Thanks commonly, I am getting my stuff sorted now 😁 I've actually done some inspirational bodging, I could only find a stick sized Pva mesh refill but my stick sized tube got trodden on, but I found this petrol funnel ⛽⛽😂 it's a clip on too 🙄

That will do, I'm going out to sort my stuff out thanks 😁

I'm supposed to be going for a rare treat 48 hour session tomorrow, but im not feeling that inspired 🙄 Gonna be actual freezing both nights 😒 Can anyone kick me up the butt and make me want to go cos I am struggling with the motivation at present?

I would prefer He Man the master of the gooniverse 😂 I did axcedently find out yesterday that it you need to recast a Cultured goo bait, literally all the culture falls of it 😂I reeled it in and there was none left 😳, also by the time I bought it in a couple of hours later, my yellow baits were white again 😬 My guess is now if you leave one out all night it would be a std pop up by the morning, don't suppose it hurts though,

And this is where I park my car 😂

This is my more usual haunt, it's pretty flooded

Done a little prepping today cooked up some pigeon mix and soaked it in Molasses, crumbed up a couple of kilos of nearly frozen boilies with the ridgemonkey crusher (blooming good product I think) , mixed with a few pellets and given a good dose of liquid liver mmmmmmm, My plan for tomorrow, prep a swim or two for Sunday and maybe fish for a few hours to get rid of all the rust I've built up over the winter 😂

I've got some almond supreme, these ones below are Cultured almond supreme wafters 😂 I'll do some pop ups tomorrow I have some that just need some coating 👍

I just needed to see what would happen before releasing them into the lake, the vase looks like limeade from the milkman now 😂 I think its a winner 🤔

Cultured goo baits in action look pretty amazing 😍😍😍

I might even do a little day session Thursday then I can find 3 spots clip all the rods up and bait them them all, and all I have to do Sunday is turn up and chuck em out makes sense I guess 😊

I went for a walk round there yesterday, still quite flooded and unfishable in some places, I've got a 48 hour session starting Sunday and I can't wait, it was cold yesterday and I didn't see a lot but we can but try, I'm gonna Try and prebait a couple of spots thursday, see if I can't make something happen, not confident but hopeful 😂

There was a guy who beat the Graviers record twice with the same fish https://www.fishingmagic.com/carp-world-record-broken-again/

Perhaps it was in rainbow at one point, but maybe Rod, Jane and Freddy moved it, 🌈😊

https://www.total-fishing.com/world-carp-record-goes/ 👍 This 2005 WR was caught on a boilie from Graviers 😳

Getting decent night shots is all about the lighting tbh, I use a Canon dslr with an intervalometer makes it a doddle,96 led video light off amazon just set it to take about 20 get the fish up pose, turn it take a few more one will turn out OK usually 👍 I will only put them in a retainer for a short while while I get everything sorted, I usually let it rest in the net for a couple of mins, unhooking in the water if I can, if not get my unhooking, weighing kit out, unhook it,treat it, put it in the retainer, weigh it and put it in the water while I sort out the camera and where I want to do the snap, take a practice shot, then once I am ready, take snaps, return the fish to fight another day,

The amount of stuff some people take with them, this set up wouldn't surprise me 😂

A modern twist on a pineapple pop up mmmmmmm goooey and Cultured 🍍😳

Just get a nice one from dunelm much more comfy 👍

Cultured goo baits anyone? Been soaking these for ages now they are being coated with sticky manilla stick mix and loads of goo it's quite amazing how much liquid these can take with the addition of groundbait 😍 The pink one is how they started out 😂
