You're a hard man ,Ouch . No natural cover in view , and the wind wipping across . I'll just stay indoors , and cheer you on . 😁

Hi Everyone Has anyone had any experience using DNA Baits please ? . Ta .

" On a side note, I read in this thread about yellows for commons. Well, I nearly always fished yellows as my hi viz hookbait and nearly always caught mirrors. " Well that's blown that theory then , emmcee , Just don't tell Kev. as he's after a big Common ! . 😁

Hi Elmo . I would offer to be a field tester for you , but that would mean I have to get off my bum and actually go fishing 😁 . Your pink boilies look very tempting . 😃

Hi Kev. A tackle shop on their facebook post has pointed out that Weds. - Friday the air pressure is dropping , but not a super low ?, so I'll probably stay home in the warm safe from the rain , and the mud . 😁

I see you are fishing in the same swim that you were in December , and if ayone was going to be daft enough / dedicated enough to fish in this weather my money would be on you , Ouch .

Thanks , fellas , that's pretty conclusive then . 😃

Hello Everyone I usually buy Gardner Hydro Tuff as my mainline as I fish close to snags ,short to medium distance . Are there any other lines I should be considering please ? . 😃

Thank you OldBoy , I have been watching the first episode , and I'm enjoying it's quiet charm . I like the way Matt just casually mentions helpful tips , makes me think " I'll give that a go " . 😃

I've got 2 , and as you say they're very warm , although they don't seem to breath much and you can get a bit of a sweat on if you're not careful 😁 .

Thanks very much for your detailed reply , Kev. 😃

You've just sold it to me , Golden Paws ! 😁

Hi Everyone I see Skeetex do their own version of a Catchdry , or should I just stick to a suit comprising of salopettes and a jacket ? . Your opinions please , ta . 😃

Hello Elmo Sorry if this is hijacking your post , but is this a good time to remind anglers not as experienced as you to ventilate due to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning ? .

So basically I stuffed up not going fishing today , but I could always lie , and say I was waiting for one of Kevs' super lows 😁

Thanks , Serenity , that makes a lot of sense .

Hi Everyone So I was going to go fishing tomorrow , Thursday , when the weather forcast is dry , but today it's rained all day . I'm thinking that all todays' rain will probably mean that the fish won't be biting tomorrow ? . What do you all think please ? . Ta . 😃

Well if you are right , Yonny , which you almost certainly are because you are Yonny , you've just saved me a few bob . 😃

Hello Yonny . Don't you mean you bought a Koi Pond , and a house came with it ? 😁 . I hope you have Heron and Otter protection ? .

Hi Jules . I'm glad your pop up tent is green as my local lake has a green or camo only rule for bivvies . 😄

Thanks , Yonny , thanks , Nick . 😃

Hello Everyone . While we are on the subject of High Pop Ups where are you measuring from please ? . Some seem to measure from the hook eye to the balancing weight , whereas others take the measurement from the weight to the bottom of the pop up . Ta . 🤔

No you didn't get lucky , Kev , you just went the extra mile . I do hope you were able to let the mickey taker who was fishing in your water know how you got on after he had left ? 😁.

😱

Hi Nick Thanks for the feedback on the Honda CRV , it's always good to get someones opinion who you know , and is not in the motor trade . Also you are presumably looking at your replacement car with a view to access to the fishing waters you visit . A long time ago someone on Carp.com recommended a Subaru Forester so I might see if I can find one not too far away that I can physically look at . Is your Dad allowed his own personal tv in his room ? , because I watch Bangers & Cash on the Yesterday channel , and after that has finished at 4P.M. there's a program about WW2 . All the best .
