  1. Thanks very much Greekskii , Nick , Emmcee , and Carpbell3 , your answers are as Emmcee said " ... a bit of food for thought " . πŸ˜ƒ
  2. Hi Everyone At my lake there's a gravel ( ? ) bar that runs from one set of Lilies to another . So would the Carp follow the top of the bar ( assuming they felt the need to travel from one set of lilies to the other ) , or the bottom of the bar where presumably natural food ( plus some boilies ) have gathered ? . Ta πŸ˜ƒ
  3. I'm sure the Carp Gods will reward you for being such a good Dad , Finchey ( πŸ˜‡ ) .
  4. Thanks , Framey .
  5. Hello Everyone I have a Korum Supa Lite Fast Mat , but recently I have caught a couple of Carp edging towards the 20lb mark , and as it's possible that the waters I fish may produce a 30lber . So do I upgrade to a Fast Mat XL , or something else ? . Ta πŸ˜ƒ
  6. It may have been Nick that said something like " fish only need enough water to cover their backs ? " .
  7. Hi Newmarket I wonder if the 30 who don't fish are waiting for those 10-14lb Carp to grow into 20s , and then memberships may become hard to come by . πŸ€”
  8. I used to just go floater fishing armed just with a bag , rod , mat and landing net ; only taking a seat and ledger rod if the weather looked as though nothing could be tempted on the surface . However getting older with a manual job sometimes I just want to plonk myself down in a swim , and set up shop . So am I enjoying my fishing more these days πŸ€” .
  9. Thank you for your beautiful post , Barry . I find that as I get older I'm getting grumpier , and too quick to jump to the wrong conclusions πŸ˜” . I would like to think even I would have worked out what was happening , and now your timely post has given me a kick up the bum to put my brain in gear . πŸ˜ƒ
  10. Have you been to the Doctors ,because I know it sounds daft , but I'm sure I've heard of someone having a bit of coral growing in their ear ? . West Ham were robbed ! . 🀬
  11. Excellent stuff , the both of you . I wonder which gives you the most satisfaction , TJ enjoying himself , or you catching a " monster " ? . πŸ˜ƒ
  12. Scuba Diving in Egypt , get you ! ; who would have thought a roughty , tufty , old Iron would rise to such dizzying heights . 😁
  13. Hello B33Troot What an epic first post ! . I'm looking forward to following your journey , and who knows I may even be able to answer a question or two if / when you have them . πŸ˜ƒ
  14. Your Wife's favourite hair clip 😲 , you've either lost the plot , or you've got huge cajones . 😁
  15. Well done Nick , a double whammy - a new P.B. , and the Otters haven't decimated that stretch of the River ; are you still on the River , Nick ? . I noticed the other day that there's a Facebook group " Save The Gipping " , maybe you are on there already ? . πŸ˜ƒ
  16. So if you can’t see any signs of the Carp where do people think they might be ? . Maybe in the deepest part of the lake where there is more oxygen ( ? ) , compared to the shallows ? ; or does the time of day alter things ? . πŸ€”
  17. Did you ever work out the answer to your question , Elmo ? . I'm asking as I've just started using the RidgeMonkey Hook Ring Bait Screws , but l'm wondering should I use say an ESP Plastic Bait Screw that doesn't spin ? . πŸ€”
  18. That's an interesting question , Highy , I'm looking forward to someone providing the answer . πŸ€”
  19. Well I think you could give me a run for my money , Elmo , you big cuddly Teddy Bear . 😁
  20. I'll have to shave my legs then so I can wear my Mankini . 😁
  21. Thanks very much everyone , that's given me plenty to consider . πŸ˜ƒ
  22. You consistently show me up , Highy you smarty pants Northern monkey you . 😁
  23. Hi Everyone I used to use clip ons over my prescription glasses , but recently I changed frames and now they don't fit . What to do , shop around for new clip ons , or is it worth having prescription polaroids ? . Thanks . πŸ€”
  24. So which was best Stevo , catching the big Cat. , or spending the Weekend with your Wife ? . 😁
  25. Just remembered Terry Hearn did a video of fishing for Carp on the River Thames ; he was moving around by boat . πŸ˜ƒ
