    So what size hooks would you be using with these boilie sizes please , Kev. ? 😃

    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 🤔 😃

    I'd like to see a 'photo of that 😁

    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 . 😁

    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 " ? . 😃

    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 . 😃

    Hope the syndicate is everything you want it to be , Nick . I guess you are back to work now ? sounds like your luck's changing 😁

    Thanks for the update , Carpmaster . IMO you would be better off going somewhere other than the park lake , go with your gut instinct . I wonder if , as Chill. I think is suggesting , there's going to be an oxygen crash at the park lake and subsequent fish deaths ? 😟

    I haven't actually got a bed , Framey , I use a camp bed ( which decided to creak every time I moved last time out ) , but I would probably go for a compact for weight , and I'm only about 5ft. 8" . I could probably go to about £100 , Yonny , if I had the bag delivered to work so my Wife didn't find out - I'm not a d.i.y. expert like Highy 😁
  24. crusian
    Well I'm certainly listening , Carpmaster , as my last trip out was very disappointing . I wonder if with Lockdown , and Furlough there are more anglers out fishing so more bait is going in , and as Nick types the weather isn't ideal at the moment ? . 😃

    Hi Fellas I'm starting to do more nights without any front on my Trakker Tempest Brolly , but I find it a bit chilly . Can anyone recommend a good sleeping bag / sleep system please ? . 😃
