    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 😔.

    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 ? 🤔 😃

    Thanks Kev and Nick . I'll look carefully at your suggestions before I buy . 😄

    No wonder you are proud of the lad , Campbell . I don't know about Monster , but I think some energy drinks can give you man boobs if you have too much ; as you say , better have a nice cup of tea . 😁

    Hi Nick Hope you got your car back with no damage . A better day for you today weather wise after yesterday . Tight lines , ( if you're still down the lake , if not how did it go ? ). 😃

    Dogs and fishing

    crusian replied to jh92's topic in Pets

    Hi Carpbell I'm a Postie and I love meeting peoples Dogs , giving them a stroke , and not having to walk / clean up after them / feed them ! . Dave has certainly mastered the " look at me I'm a cutie pose " . I'm rather taken with a couple of French Bulldogs on my " Walk " at the moment , but if I ever got a dog (not really practical ) I think it would be a Spaniel . 😃

    Hi Nick It's great that you , and others on the Forum , enjoy yourselves even though you haven't caught anything . My Wife says she gets it when I come home and asks me if I had any " no , buts " i.e. " No , but I saw the Kingfisher , and the Buzzards were flying low enough to see clearly " . 😃

    Any real Carp to go with your real coffee , Nick ? 😁. I don't know how you chaps do it , I don't want to go day fishing at the moment let alone night fishing 🥶.

    Thanks very much , everyone , for all your comments ; this makes my choice of line very simple . Now all I have to do is take more care loading my line , but I've watched Matthew Collins on YouTube , and I think I'm on the right track now . 😃

    " The colour is great ... " - The Green you mean and not the Brown ? . 😃

    Thanks very much , Yonny . How's the family , is your little lad getting excited about getting a sibling ? . 😃

    Hello Everyone I was just about to put some fresh Hydro Tuff on my spools , and then I thought I wonder if anyone uses Big Game anymore ; and if so Brown or Green please ? . Ta 😃

    Hello Newmarket As Nick has intimated some of those hooks you have mentioned are classics that you would struggle to get hold of . Why not buy a selection of ready tied rigs and decide which you like best , then it's just 1 knot to join them to the mainline ? . 😃

    That's a catchy tune , Buzz . I'm off to look up , and possibly download more Tim Timebomb . Thanks Buzz . 😁

    Otters

    crusian replied to crusian's topic in UK Carp Fishing

    Thanks for your help , fellas . I was just clutching at straws that the carcass wasn't a fresh kill . I'll just have to wait until Spring when the Carp are more active / visible to get an idea of how much damage the otter(s) has / have done . I enjoy fishing this lake , but I may well have to find a different venue . 😭
  24. crusian
    I'm glad I haven't got a brain like yours , Elmo , I have enough trouble trying to find some peace as it is 😁. Just to mess with your head even more - is the Palm Test reliable anyway ? , i.e. does the hook behave a lot differently when in water 🤔 ? . 😃

    Otters

    crusian replied to crusian's topic in UK Carp Fishing

    Hello Everyone , I'm back again ! . So today , 10 weeks from when I discovered the first Carp carcass I think I've found another in the same area ; it was muddy ( from being dragged ? ) so I couldn't positively identify it . My question is please , could that be the same dead Carp that I saw in Nov. , or would that have rotted away / been eaten by rats , foxes etc , and reduced to bare bones by now ? . Ta 😃
