Well at least you got out there , I listened to the rain and wind , and hid under my duvet 😴. So it's a consolation McDonalds if you don't catch , and a celebration McDonalds if you do catch ? 😁.
-
At least you managed to get set up and inside your bivvy before the rain started , and aren't you supposed to fish into the wind ? . 😁
-
Perhaps put your teeth in next time , Elmo ? 😁

🤞

Cheers , Kev 😃

So what size hooks would you be using with these boilie sizes please , Kev. ? 😃
-
Tight lines , Elmo , and congratulations on the 20+ , I'll look for the 'photos on another thread . 😁

Hi Elmo . I use a combi rig with an ESP Gripper hook with a hair . Using pop ups , almost all my hookholds are in the scissors , but after reading your post I altered the rig so that the hair came off the middle of the bottom of the hook ; I've had one fish hooked middle of the bottom lip , so I'll see if this was a one off , or I carry on with improved hookholds 🤔 😃

What’s the scariest experience you’ve had whilst carp fishing?

I'd like to see a 'photo of that 😁 -
How Do People Store Their Frozen Boilies
crusian replied to crusian's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
Ooh , I feel a cunning plan brewing . 😁 -
Hello Everyone I've ordered 5kg of frozen boilies , and when they arrive I'm thinking of breaking them down into 1kg batches , but what to put the 1kg batches in ? - ziplock bags , press seal bags , small tupperware tubs ? . Thoughts please . 😃

I think I could have straight hooked the chopped pieces of olive on my focaccia quite easily , and the olive oil would leak around the " bait " ? . Maybe TLB can give olives a try and report back ? . 😃
-
I took an olive Foccacia with me to the lake for Lunch , no beer and Hobnobs for me . 😁

Tight lines , Elmo , don't fade away from hunger 😁

And you're safe ,Brutus . 😃 -
Same Woman ? , you sound like " a bit of a player " , Highy . 😁

As a Postie I'm lucky to meet many different breeds of dog , but a bouncy Spaniel is one of my favourites - I'm also quite partial to a blue Staffie . 😄
-
That's you , Highy , and Kev. that have mentioned the margins . I'll give the margins a go , save me getting stressed when I try to get tight to the far bank and cast into a tree , unless it's dusk because the carp roost in the trees at night , don't they 🤫 . 😁

Hello Ark I've just remembered that Sticky do their Signature Pop Ups in a mixed pot of washed out / pale , yellow , pink and white , BUT I'm not sure about their buoyancy - I tend to recast every 2 hrs or so ; the Sticky pop ups do feel a different texture to the other pop ups I use i.e. a bit " chalky " ? . 😃

Pepperami Good Carp Bait Or Not ?
crusian replied to kanetaylor1996's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
That's the sort of bait that Bluelabel might well have used 🤔 -
I'm a White , Pink , Yellow , and maybe an Orange man then change between wafters , dumbells , and sizes of Pop Ups . 😃
-
I use a Sz. 6 , targeting doubles up to 20s. Don't forget Greekskiis' reply where he has highlighted changing your hook pattern on the Chod Rig ( which I missed - doh ! ) . 😃
-
Hello Zorbeen I'm grateful that Cromiee and you asked your similar questions as it's certainly got me thinking , and there's been interesting replies , particularly from Kev. I've never used a chod rig before so I can't comment on that rig , but my knee jerk reaction looking at both rigs is " what size hook are you using ? " . 😃
-
When you say " casting to fizzing " are you landing your bait right on the fizzing , or trying to anticipate the path the fizzing is going to take and placing your bait further along that path ? . In the perfect world you would have your rig in place and the fizzing would come to you , and then if you weren't getting any bites you could start twiddling with your bait and / or rigs . 😃

Well hopefully Rishi Sunaks' Summer Statement will help you . 😃
