I dunno if I want to prebait with them even, I would rather the spots were fresh produce only, if they don't get eaten quickly will be left with rancid bait on them, not worth taking the chance I think, i emailed monster again last night about it will see what they say, I did email at the time they told me to use water and sugar, that hasn't worked, so will see what they say now

Perhaps you should report it to the police, it certainly wasn't normal behavior, could just be someone really paranoid about catching covid 19 though

At least you two aren't fishing on my baited spots any more 😂 That reminds me must take my boiler suit to the dry cleaners, 👹👻 Seriously though I think I might done a Todd in my pants and packed up too, no need for that sort of behavior at night when you are fishing 👀

Still smell a bit orrible just been and checked, even after a day of soaking 😨

I've made nigellas Coke gammon before that was tasty 👌 I also did one with Fanta that was also nice 😁 Maybe lilt tigers would be the one though,for a totally tropical taste 🤔

Right I've started the experiment 2 bags In a bucket with boiling water with 2 tablespoons of sugar, let's see if that does them any good,

I have Had some good stuff from Monster to be fair, some of there mixes have been pretty good, I think the delay wasn't good for the nuts though I think it's worth getting into self preparing anyway for me, I do like the freshness and the value, doing it myself, will also mean I can have more freezer space for boilies 😁

I think I will do all my own from now on tbh cheaper and fresher , just need to do something with the others first, I will give it a try cheers

I have a tiger query please? I bought 10kg of prepared tigers from monster particles a little while ago, and they were delayed on the delivery due to lockdown, they are a bit vinegary when I defrost them I want to be able to refresh them and make them gooey and sweet ? If I just added some boiling water to them with some sugar would this freshen them up a bit and get them slimy ?

Cheers guys I still dont think the work is done yet, must keep going and hope there is more to come, I think i need to slow the nuisance species down this week, it's time to feed the carp more I'm thinking oil the pellets to fill them up quicker , some Tigers and more 18mm boilies, and maybe save the pigeon food for when I need there to be food on the spot for longer, I didn't use mozzie mesh or any repellant this Saturday I thought it seemed mozzie quiet when I got there 💭🤔 today I am starting to find I am quite itchy and seemed to have been bitten quite a bit, little foccacias they are always there 😕 I did enjoy the minimalist approach though of no groundsheet or mozzie front, I found packing up was loads quicker as I didn't have everything out it just stayed in my Rucksack until needed, going to try and thin out the Rucksack next 😬

I foccaciad it right up then 😁

My daughter just told me a joke 😁 What did the cheese say when it looked in the mirror? Hallo me (halloumi) get it 😁😁👋👋👋

here we go all 22lb3oz of hard earnt Mirror Carp, really pleased to have caught one again, and she is a lovely one i think

I would assume the stones aren't good for carp, and I would just eat them tbh 😁 I also think they may just turn to mush in water so probably wouldn't stay on the hook long, but possibly worth a try 👍

No more action, left lots of goodies and left just treated myself to a mcdonalds breakfast and then home, Quick overnight done 😁

22lb 3oz mirror, it's starting to get lighter so will have a cuppa then do a few snaps, 😁

I've got one in the net, I've got one in the net I've got one in the net and it's a carp 😁

Wet Thanks Something carpy seemed to bosh on my spot a few mins ago, it feels pretty carpy tonight just hope I'm not wrong, all went on the spots well in the end and another boshed there out there, come on you carps

I got emergency hob nobs and 2 beers don't worry 😁 All settled in, rigs in the rave tent, dropped some freebies, now all we need is dj carp to spin the wheels of steel 🤯😎🤑🤩😍🥰😇

Finally got permission for a quick overnighter tonight it's been a tough couple of days negotiations but will be doing a quick in and out with bait up, and home for breakfast going to use the brolly bareback with no groundsheet, no need for food and stuff minimal for me anyway, got the rods set up having stripped some line off bosh bosh bosh bait up and crack a beer and hope the carp are playing ball tonight, steak and chips for dinner first then hit the road, in theory it's all gravy let's hope there are no spanners in the works 😁

Plumber did sort it btw, and for free well happy, he replaced the connector bit and it's sorted, he couldn't turn the main mains water off though so had to do a risky one with towels, so still need the water board to do there thang at some point but at least we are not leaking anymore 😁

Well it's another week of baiting done, am hoping to do what I called a luxury baiting session at the weekend a very quick overnighter, but not sure how that's sitting at present it's a bit like indigestion for now 😁 There is definately a change in the swim this week, no pike strikes noticed and the spots seem to become active as soon as I've baited them still loads of rudd etc but they seem more relaxed if that makes sense, then some slightly bigger fish seem to move in, probably tench and bream as the swirls get bigger, still no definate carp sightings but hopefully they are also visiting to see what the kerfuffle is, just got to keep plodding on and hope it's happening while I am away, 😁 Tight lines all

Were all the different types of rigs the same length?

How big does a burco type boilers need to be to be usable 😁 They seem to be 10l, 20l,30ltrs ish I tend to not need more than 5kg at a time ever really? So what the right size for me? Cheers

Its just not so domestically friendly 😁 If I keep on I will need a burco I think tbh anyway, I'm quite enjoying prepping my own particles at the moment, they always seem fresher and better than shop bought or frozen
