From this ‘photo ( you’ve shown us other views ) , Kev. , it looks like a lovely natural lake .
My local club lake has had most of the banks “ tidied up “ from the ‘photos posted on Facebook ; I haven’t had the opportunity to fish there this year , but when I do I may well vote with my feet , and not renew my membership .
I’m not happy ! .

Trakker Tempest 200, love the space, easy to put up and take down, I'd have again in a heart beat 🎣🎣🎣, even had it out on a 12hr day sessions.
Thanks , Highy .
Hope all your needle stick tests are coming back negative , and continue to do so .

I'm not that fussed about going now, if I go I go, but complains for it...
It's unreal the amount of shelters I've had....
Chub Smax 1 man Bivvy, Chub Brolly System, Fox Supa Brolly System, Carp Zone 2 man n Wrap, Sonik AXS 1 & 2 man Bivvys, Sonik AXS Brolly n Wrap, Tempest 100T n Social Shelter, Tempest 200....
So I have to ask , Highy which of these is your favourite , I guess it depends on duration of stay , and if you are fishing alone ? .

Thank you.
At one point 200 members names were online, all girls names with 4number endings and I had to go through banning the lot.
If you see any more come up with emails ending in tzctt.com, vfdd.com or similar hit the spammer button.
As I mentioned above, they have multiple IP's, not all high risk countries.
Hi Nick
How do I delete these spam messages from my " Messages " please ? .
The ones I get to my personal email address I can mark as spam , but I don't want these " offers " staying in my Messages .

Thanks for the reply, I’ve had a look at the hinge stiff rig but like being to change the hook nice and quick, think I’m going to try a multi rig but with a stiff section by the hook
Hi Callum
You beat me to it as I use a Multi Rig with ESP Semi Stiff .
Julian Cundiff has a video clip on the Multi Rig with his slight tweaks .
I'd be interested to read your results using this rig if you wanted to post them .

As a side, Handsome dogs? What's that all about, I get random woman stop my dog to give him a fuss and tell him how Handsome he is, not just a one off happens regularly, I get ignored, literally.
It's just odd and if a fella did it I would say something.

So what are you saying fellas ? ; it reads like you both want to be made a fuss of 😁 .
I'm a Postie , and usually what happens is a passing dog may strain at its lead to come over to me , and have a good sniff of my trainers . Then I'll give the dog a stroke after letting it sniff my hand .
I just love meeting handsome dogs , who are much prettier than their owners 🐶.

What about a second hand Fox Explorer ? .

4 night blank to get me into the swing of things, lots to learn and a new playing field as the water is up 4ft on last year's drought level.
Great trip loved it - spring is in the air, the birds are at it, frogs in the margins being hunted by pike and masses of bugs crawling out the lake especially during rain - so many caddis or whatever they were that it freaked me out - all coming under my door by the dozen.
Can't wait to get back down asap.
Well , Kev , I have just quoted your post to my Wife , but I think she already understands why I don't go fishing / have to catch a fish to enjoy myself .

I have 2×9'3" and 2×9'6" plus an 8 footer... all have handled 20's... the only time I struggled with one,was when I hooked a 40lb+ at Ashmead in 2018... just couldn't stop it ploughing through 2 weedbeds... lost it...😭
I retired 6 years ago, (ill health) get my state pension this year, got my name down for one of Leszeks Masterpieces but he's getting on a bit now
Well the waters I fish don't have anything bigger than 20's , so I should be o.k. !

My back isn't up to the drive Andy... anyway, we're doing Romsey later in the year... had 8 cortisone injections in one hit last month... drove to Portsmouth for the Wally trip and I was in agony... waiting for an op on my back to de-nerve it so I'm down to a few hours fishing locally at the mo...
The Sharpe is a tough rod, I can almost cast across our club lake with a 1.1 Avid lead, but I'm holding off giving it the beans on a really long chuck... besides if I want to fish the far bank I'll go round the other side and fish the margins...😛👍🤣
Oh H , that's horrible about your back , I hope you get your operation as soon as possible .
I'm hoping to retire this year , and I'm wondering about going all cane with my Sharpe , selling my carbons , or selling my Sharpe 🤔 .
I must get down the lake and experiment .
All the best .
Andy

Got out today... over me club lake... a nice scrappy common got in on the act and gave me a good tear up all the way in from about 30 yards out... Rod was a 9'3" Sharpe, reel is an Abu 77 Cardinal, had a smaller carp which didn't stay still long enough for a shot... also had the scabbiest Bream in the lake...🥴
Hi Blue
Were you banned from going to the Yorkshire Vintage Tackle Fair by Mrs Blue 😁 ? .
I think your Sharpe is the same as mine , so could it be used instead of a 2 3/4 t/c 12ft. carbon ? ; I guess I would need to practice if I wanted to cast any distance 🤔 .

Our reliance on cheap foreign goods and the instant culture has a lot to answer for.
Im old enough to remember
satsumas just at Christmas
nuts just at christmas
Paper bags
recycling pop bottles
loose fruit and veg
walking to the shops to do the weekly shop with my mum.
nowadays…..
better not
That all makes me younger than you , Framey , but not by much ! .

We will amend the Animal Welfare Act 2006 to protect:

Well that's pretty conclusive , Framey .
Thanks for all your replies everyone , all very helpful .

Does anyone know what the Green Party's stance on freshwater angling is please ? .
I seem to remember Elmo saying he had spoken to a Green person , and was assured that the Greens didn't want to ban freshwater angling ? .

To be honest, I just made sure there was no gaps anywhere, and also its a double lined storage unit.
This is the exact 1 and we're I got it from.
Also have this 1 too...
Thanks , Highy .

Mad innit....
From this....
To this....
Hi Highy
All the others have already wished you well , and alluded to the big hole you will leave if you stop posting so I can't really add to that .
Just a question though while you are browsing please - how do you keep Mice out of your fishing storage unit ? .

100% staying on the Carp Front now, reasons being.....
Can Relax more, Take the Dog n Son when I can, (not able to really when Coarse/Match Fishing), but lad can have a Dabble with his float gear.
Well I'm glad you've thought it all through , Highy ; having spent time , and money building up your Carp gear .

Spent a lot of time on GAPS waters over the years, I can go back to 1984!
Causeway, lovely lake, but hard work for carp. The sound of the A14 always seems to do my head in.
Alderson, nice venue, the big lake can be crowded, and more than 5 carp anglers it will be cutting each other off.
I used to prefer the intimacy of the small lake. I never fished the canal.
On both lakes the carp can be caught on floaters at times.
That's great , thanks Nick .

Tench
in Coarse fishing

Thanks very much fellas , but what if the Tench could get into double figures would you still go with 6lb hooklinks ? .
