    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 ? . 😃
  3. crusian
    Marvellous stuff , Newmarket , and West Ham won ! 😄
  4. crusian
    Not , " And Away " like Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse ? . 😁

    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 ! .

    Well Sky may look disinterested , but I'm impressed - well done Nick ! . Are you the first to catch from your water this year ? ; also you mention the rushes , do you ever put a bait there , or is it too shallow ? . 😃 My wife's just said your lads' grin is as wide as the fish is long 😁 That will be quite a sight , Yonny dressed in a pink tutu over his waders . 😁

    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 " . 😁

    Hello Stevo Good to see you posting again , I wondered what had happened to you . 😁
  13. crusian
    Great story , Yonny , with not 1 , but 2 beautiful dark Carp ( I don't usually rate Commons , but the 1 you caught 😮 ) . Was there a postscript to your story , i.e. you turned up at the Maternity Suite still wearing your waders ? . 😁

    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 ? . 😃
  19. crusian
    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 😔.
  21. crusian
    Hi Everyone Dynamite Baits have recently added to their range of Particles . Should I try the Peanuts now , or wait a few months until the water warms up do you think 🤔 ? . 😃

    I've got a Sundridge Minus 10 Suit ; like Carpbell says about his Ron Thompson suit my Sundridge does the job , but I can't help hankering after a more up to date Snugpak , and I'd need waterproofs over the top wouldn't I ? 🤔 😃
  23. crusian
    Thanks Kev and Nick . I'll look carefully at your suggestions before I buy . 😄
  24. crusian
    Thanks , Framey . 😃
  25. crusian
    Hi Framey Yes the unlined ones ; are they warm enough for cold weather please ? . 😃
