  1. Well that's an interesting question , Nube , I'm looking forward to the replies . Personally I like the water temp. to be over 7C . It's getting lighter in the mornings , and staying lighter longer in the evenings , so if we can have some sun to wake up the aquatic insect life for the fish to feed on ? .
  2. So how are you supposed to make critical decisions working those hours , Ouch ? .
  3. Sounds like a right Psycho. , lucky she didn't take a knife to you , Ouch , because that would have hurt . 😁
  4. Hi Nick I thought it was you that previously said a coloured line was more supple as the dye softened it ? .
  5. I'm not allowed to use braid on my lake , even for marker / spod work . 😞
  6. Hi Everyone I'm loading my Reels up with fresh line , but what breaking strain for ; ( a ) Controller Float fishing ? , and ( b ) Freelining close in ? . My lake holds Carp up to about 25lb , with lillies , and overhanging trees . Thanks . 😃
  7. Listen to your Wife , and buy her some flowers for being such a sensible lady . 😄
  8. Hi Elmo If they do float why not use them for a spot of floater fishing ? . Chuck a mixed handful in , some sink , some waft , some rise up to the surface where your ( Elmos' ) artfully presented surface bait is waiting to be gulped down . 😁
  9. Hi Nick Are B175 hooks available as Barbless , or Micro Barbed ? ; I'm just thinking that Nube may find that the water(s) he wants to fish won't allow barbed hooks - I'm not allowed to crimp the barb on my water ( it's an automatic ban ) . 😃
  10. Well if it's too cold for a Northern lad I don't feel such a Southern Softie for staying at home , and keeping my gear clean and dry . 😁
  11. Elmos' Wife will have to grease him up , like they do for English Channel swimmers ! . 😁
  12. Well if you're a friend of Elmos' , that's not a very good start . 😁
  13. How can you be a xenophobe , GP when you're just telling the truth ? . Vote for Golden Paws ! . 😁
  14. Hi Elmo . I bought a Baiting Spoon for a particular margin swim , then the bailiff cut the tree down 😡 . I usually carry the B.S. in the back of the car , just in case , as sometimes I need it to tuck my bait into little margin spots where others may not be able to put a bait ? . 😃
  15. Hi Jh92 Well when you add up the cost of all the bits you are getting they are £180 worth , but if you went to your local independent tackle shop you may be able to cut a deal - I did . How much is postage ? . 😃
  16. Is your 6yr old just copying what Daddy does when Mummy won't let him go fishing , Elmo ? . 😁
  17. I've looked at the MPS heads before as they reminded me of the Nash slapheads . At the moment I use Gardner Nano Bugs , as I like the light weight of the bobbins and the cords . I expect you have given a lot of thought as to why you should match the MPS heads with Cygnet arms , or did you just ask HIghy , the " indicator King " ? . 😁 😃
  18. Well IMO , Elmo I would throw that devil in the lake and stay on your bait , but maybe reduce the size . After all your hard work ( with some lovely results ) , push on next year and catch more , and bigger fish . 😃
  19. No , No , Nooo . It's the " ice " part of Ice Fishing that I don't like the sound of . 🥶
  20. I didn't enjoy nights , felt it messed with my body clock . 😃
  21. What Bobbins are they , Elmo ? . 😃
  22. I'll put my orange Tutti pops up back in my bait bag , thanks . 👍 😁
  23. That's a lot of helpful info. , Nick . It's taken some careful reading to make sure I've taken it all in . 😁
  24. Thanks , Elmo , helpful as always . 😃
