So if someone read your fishing log which said , say " 15 wraps in line with Sneaky Squirrel " it would mean absolutely nothing to them ? . 😃

So has Sky been told off , or sulking , or intently studying the wildlife ?.

Your Daughter's rod , but she was at home with her Sister ? . 😁 .

So it was the Nikon's fault was it ? , not the creaky old bloke holding the camera who was not able to pan quick enough ? . 😁

He is striking . Was this a special event ? .

You mad fool ,Roughtor . 🙄

Yes what is it ? , the poo of one of those big cats that roam about leaving tantilising clues of their existance ? .

Lovely looking dog , Roughtor , sad loss indeed .

Hi Nick Sky seems rather disappointed that you haven't even had a nibble of your rat , not even a " thank you " , " oh why does one even bother ? " . 🐀

Thanks , Blue . They look facinating . 😃

Well you know how it is Nick , " you don't poo on your own doorstep . " 😁

Hi Blue . Can you give us more information on your Bamboo Bobbins please , i.e. the attachments top and bottom ,and do they come in diffeent sizes ? . 😃

Thanks for the explanation about the rods , Blue . Actually I was really bad the other day as I had a carbon rod ( Century Armalite mk.3 ) as my right hand rod ,and a fibreglass rod ( Jack Hilton Carp ) as my left hand rod ; I just live life on the edge . 😁

Blue ! , how on earth do you expect to catch when your rods aren't identical ? . To me it looks like one rod is a darker cane than the other , and the reel fittings are different . 🙄

Hello Kirky . The last time I looked ,probably last year ? , there was a sign on the gate " Bosmere Angling Club ,Needham Market 721487 " . I believe the chap who runs the water is Robert Markwell . If Nick reads this post he will know if I'm correct . 😃

So it sounds just like Elmo said , that someone simply threw the stake away . I guess the the blokes in YOUR swim swore blind there was no stake there ? . There must be a better way to reserve a swim ? . It's a credit to you that it sounds that you're more upset for your mate .

Oh dear , what's the matter , BB ? . Did you want to share with the forum , and maybe someone will have an answer to your problem , or it might be good to get what ever is bothering you off your chest .

Thanks very much for all your answers , and I must change my fish care procedures . I started to read Yonny's 1st. post , and I thought " he's going to mention sealing nasties in " - oh poo I've been using MCP's Propolis . So reading all the replies I'll go back to my Gardner Intensive Care which is a few years old . I've also got some Kryston Klinik which is even older . Also I'll stick to treating just wounds where the flesh is broken and there is bleeding . 😃

Hi Everyone What are the panels views on when to buy a new Carp Care Solution , i.e. do the solutions lose their effectivness over time please ? . Also is Propolis the solution to buy ? . Ta . 😃

I certainly would , Elmo , being old and forgetful 🥲 . If you are buying some plug ins I would like to wait for you to give a review please , ta . 😃

Thanks , Greekskii . I think I'll try a plug in for the mice . I guess I'm not allowed to use mantraps for human pests ? . 😁

Good luck on your hunt for Chestnut . 😃

That looks like a big old Tench ! .

Thanks for all the replies fellas . I have 2 old fridge freezers in my garage so I can store my bait safely , but my rods , nets , and lugage won't fit . From your replies it reads that I'll just have to carry on storing my bigger items indoors - damn ! . 🥲

Hi Everyone In the Winter I bring the more chewable bits of my tackle indoors . Now it's getting warmer do you think I am safe to put all my fishing gear back in my garage , or do you think Mice will still be on the lookout for nest making material please ? . 😃
