Looks good mate, nice I've just caught another one of those weather has gone a bit moody so it's staying in the retainer for a bit high double though looks a long male fish 😳 it's been a bit hectic, had a bite which straightened out a size 4 mugga which i lost, then my other rod pulled up to the bobbin, managed to hook a blooming pike, got my first one back out and it went again in minutes and that's the latest update still havent got the pike rod back out, could be a busy night i think 😳

Not a bad one either 25lb 6oz, might even have time for another yet 😳

I've got one in the net already, I had only got 1 rod in 😳

That's good then, hope it goes well 👍 I've just made it to McDonald's in time for breakfast, will be at the lake in 20 woo ha 😁

That's brave, I hope you havent upset her recently 😁

Nice one thanks, last ones I bought were Aller aqua halibut ones 17mm bream chokers, they were high protien high oil ones, seem quite high spec These were good to deal with very quick delivery postage included https://bulkfishpellets.co.uk/collections/aller-aqua-ap

Which do you prefer Coppens or skrettings?

It's nice being confident in your bait isn't it 😏

Totally agree Highy, I just enjoy my short amount of time on the bank, that's enough for me, I do what I can to prepare, yesterday I went raking and baiting 2nd time this week, I am going tomorrow can't blooming wait, just make the most of what time you have and enjoy it, I'll be using a mix of 4 baits I have confidence in tomorrow 😁

I had to skim read it, some of it was hurting my eyes 😳

Yonny has caught some amazing fish for a fraud, and I can speak for myself when I say he is a very knowledgeable angler who has helped me out no end, given me lots of good advice in the past and I've asked some right stupid questions, but he always took the time to answer, and for that I am grateful I think you either have a grudge against him or you just enjoy being contrary, I've definately become a better angler from listening to him and others on this site, maybe you could learn something too if you didn't know it all already 👍

Must have guts of steel those wiganers

I think you might get one or two bites on a cheap low nutrition bait, but if you want to regularly catch a decent food source bait would do better and certainly work for a longer period of time, I think a lot of good baits nowadays seem to have decent vitamin content,and also other health benefits, and I think that will keep them all coming back, and if there are additives that will do them some good and make them feel better they will keep eating it, I went gluten free once and ate really healthily much like Kev, and after a week I felt amazing, healthy, clean more focused, just really good, now I eat all manner of junk again I feel sluggish and slow get depressed more easily and don't feel good, you can tell when you eat well, however you can also get addicted to the wrong things, My analogy is you might walk past the chip shop everyday but you don't always like the smell, occasionally you quite fancy some but then you don't want them again for a long while, whereas meat and veg type things give you the right fuel and you would want to eat them more as you know they will do you good Now @Highy and the northerners like the occasional Wigan kebab but they wouldn't eat them daily would they?????????

If only it was that simple, it's more that the swim is quite small so that's why I think I need them 😂

Because I've been doing a lot of fishing under the rod tips lately, I've started feeling like my 12ft rods are too long and I need some 9ft ones and smaller reels too, never ending isn't it, I am hoping to resist the urge but will see how it goes 😂

If you are a crypography member you can get 10% discount off CC Moore each time you order

I used to use the source years ago, and Julian Cundiff doesn't half catch a lot on the scopex squid but I've never used it myself, I pay £7 a kilo from retro baits, you just have to go with what you are confident in though 👍

They probably don't need to as loads of people use it

I should think its just the last push for bait Companies as they probably slow right down in winter, and make and sell less, What bait do you use? I wouldn't switch to Nash instant action,would rather use a proper food bait still

We mainly make stuff for planes and that but we make a lot of different pre pregs and stuff for other applications

What pre pregs do they use I fanny about with pre preg at work 😅

I would add to what kev said, just go to a tackle shop and ask them for advice any good shop worth it's salt would rather see you leave with the right items of tackle and the knowledge of how to use it safely, korda seem to do most bits to make it easy 👍

Looks kinda like my bunker, Just put the poles together, attach the tension strap,open it up like a pram hood then clip on the tension poles (the outside ones) and peg it out, not sure about the peak as mine hasn't got one

At a guess it would have less capacity, depends on the length of the spool as to whether it will make much difference but they are all designed to be smooth for casting these days so probably less than you might think but I haven't used one 😁

Thanks, I think I must be learning something as I probably would've sat it out and hoped before, I had spent all night kicking myself tbh because I chose to go against what I saw, in favour of a going swim which had done a couple of bites at the weekend 😳
