I'm thinking maybe Interax doesn't want to end up crippled with arthritis in old age and unable to go fishing / enjoy his retirement ? .

Hello Everyone . I've been looking at the NGT Weighing Tripod as it's got 2 piece legs that take away my problem with my Cygnet Tripod where I'm fiddling around trying to equalise the height of the legs ; and sometimes I find that the screws aren't quite tight enough . I also like the look of the mud feet on the NGT . Any opinions please ? . 😃

Hello Everyone . I wonder if anyone has had the opportunity to use any DNA Baits since I posted in February , and if so what did you think of them please ?. 😃

Thanks for adding more helpfull information to my post , fellas . When I think it's necessary , i.e. the Carp is actually bleeding , I would probably use my Gardner Intensive Care ; the only trouble I find is that I get blue dye all over the place . So for a more targeted application I've bought some Acute Anti-Bacterial Swabs from Carp Care UK . I haven't used the swabs yet , but the marketing blurb sounds plausable , so I'll find out eventually .

Congratulations on the addition to your family , Ouch . 🚼

I feel for you , Kev . I've lost my last 4 Carp in the lillies , and although probably only low to mid doubles it still anoys me , and I think " what could I have done different ? " . One of the loses was when I rushed sideways to hustle the Carp away from the lillies only to kick the water bucket ( that I'd forgot was there ) ; so I look down to see why my sock was wet , and that 1 second delay in playing the Carp was all it needed to shed the hook . So next time out you'll just have to catch an absolute monster to help the painfull memory of your loss to fade away . 😃

Well Jack doesn't need to say anything for you to see he is not impressed with your decision to be in your bivvy at bite time ! .

Thanks , Nick

Yes , I guess I have , Yonny you wise old owl . I'll start of with a basic plastic screw , and maybe then upgrade to a small rig ring and attach the pop up with floss . 😃

Ah , ran out of time editing ! . Should I change from a Ridgemonkey Small Hook Ring Bait Screw as sometimes the screw seems to work its way through the hookhold and cause a bit of damage to the Carp's mouth ? . I'm thinking of a plastic bait screw with no swivel . 😃

Thanks , Yonny .

After my Son excitedly watched his tadpoles growing in our pond a Magpie went and ate them 🤬 .

A Dragon Fly hitching a lift on a Common , extraordinary ! . The only way I can think of to get an even better 'photo would be a Kingfisher sitting on one of my rods . 😃

Hi Everyone I've just seen that a tackle shop near one of the waters I fish is stocking the above boilies . I realise if they are a small company with labour intensive methods of production that would drive the costs up , but are the flavours any good ? .
