I'm happy for you , Kev , and jealous as hell ! . At least I , and other forum members will be able to drool over your 'photos . 😃
-
Maybe the fella is into his football as well as you , Newmarket , a West Ham supporter ? - then you've got it ! . 🤞

I have the Fox Explorer Rucksack Barrow Bag Medium CLU441 , and I find it robust , but it's heavy and I keep thinking should I have gone for the Camolite Barrow Bag CLU285 ? . 🤔
-
Hi Newmarket I personally would buy the original handles CTR012-12 and CTR012-03 , and probably the Camolite Barrow Bag CLU285 . 😃
-
Hi Newmarket I've got the Fox Explorer Barrow , not the Deluxe version that you have . I bought some Explorer Deluxe handles for my Barrow , but I found they flexed , and I needed to retighten the screws ; so in the end I went back to my original handles . 😃

What an epic read , Newmarket , I'm exhausted just reading it ! . You've only been back 5 mins. and you've got Nicks' 'phone number 😲 ; I hope this doesn't mean favourable treatment ? - if Newmarket steps out of line stomp on him , Nick ! . 😁
-
So where do you get to sleep , Kev? . 😁

Variations on the theme, Multi-rig or Spinner rig.

Thread the floss through the eye of the swivel , then put a Baiting Needle through the Boilie ; pull the floss back through the boilie burying the swivel barrel ( leaving the " bottom " swivel eye exposed , cut the excess floss then knot it and blob . Yes , I think it gives more movement . 😃 -
Hi Newmarket I'm happy that you have sorted your problem . When I have respooled my Garcia Mitchells if I held the butt section of my rod up in the air like you did , I also ended up with " coneing " . 😃

I turn the fish finder icon off , that's too much like cheating for me . I use the Deeper on wide beam to speed mapping a lake up ; then I need to revert back to a marker set up to find the interesting areas which annoyingly I can't find ! 😢
-
Wow ! , so are these 'photos taken from North America ? . 😃
-
Marvellous stuff , Newmarket , and West Ham won ! 😄
-
Never mind catching a few more 20s , or even my first 30 , a Kingfisher landing on one of my rods is my dream . Lovely 'photo , Kev ; were you sitting well back from your rods in your bivvy ? . 😃
-
Is that an Eagle , Levigsp ? . Whatever it isI wouldn't want to bump into that in the woods , it looks as mean as hell ! .
-
So you're not an actual Tsar , Nick , just a Super Moderator ? . 😁
-
Matching ecological Bobbins , B B ! . 😁
-
Is that a baby Heron in the top 'photo , Grim ? . 🤔
-
Ooh that looks cold , Nick . I guess there are no margin spots , nor visible areas to cast to ? . A big water like yours is too much of a challenge for me , unless the Carp are going to jump out waving a flag saying " here I am , here I am " . 😁

I took it to mean that the petrol is pumped into the container ships hot , as it's quicker , but as the petrol cools it leaves condensation . 😃
-
Hi Nick I was told by a garage to use brands like Esso with their own refineries , rather than supermarkets as the garage said I would get better mpg . Also the supermarkets get their petrol from overseas which has been hot filled into the ships .
-
So I'm guessing you are still in Hospitality ? ; if so do I mention Carp.com to get something off the final bill when I enjoy your fine dining ? . 😁
-
Never mind the birds starting to build nests , Highy's Wife has started back Morris Dancing - it must be Spring ! . 😁
-
Hi Nick How did your trial shift go ? . 😃
-
Thanks Greekskii , and Emmcee . As you say , whatever I decide use Peanuts sparingly . On one lake all nuts and pulses are banned , but on another I occasionally fish you are allowed to use properly prepared particles ; I just better not use them where they are banned if it leaves an oil slick like the Torrey Canyon ! . 😁

Hi Carpbell I guess you couldn't make it to The Northern Carp Show where there were probably Bivvies on display ? . Angling Direct usually have the space to display , but not necessarily the brands you are interested in 😔.
