Well I use my Deeper for Map Making Spot Finding I use the Deeper on days when I'm not actually fishing , but just want to be at the lake / only have a few hours available to me / the weather is too cold and/or wet . I wouldn't use the Deeper if there was anyone on my part of the lake as I wouldn't like it if I was fishing and someone was casting their bolt rig out every 5mins. 😃

Hello Elmo I use a Deeper Pro+ , but with the Fish Finder turned off ( yes I'm that disciplined 😁) . However , having obtained a quicker map of the lake bed with the " Big Cone " , if I see something interesting I'll get out my marker rod outfit as I'm not totally convinced / understand the Deeper Pro . 😃

Thanks , Nick 😃

Thanks , Elmo . My Wife's unexpectedly going away for a night or 2 , so tomorrow I can go out to play ! . 🎣

Ahh , lovely stuff , Emmcee . Thanks very much . 😄

Hello Everyone I was doing a bit of marker work down the shallow end of my lake so as not to disturb the other anglers down the deeper , main body of the lake ; and I was surprised to see 3 or 4 , maybe scraper double carp , swimming about quite active . So I'm thinking as the carp were so active they must be using up energy which they would need to replace by eating , but as I don't think the shallows are fished much , if at all , at this time of year , what are the carp eating ? . I was bringing up what I considered healthy , freshly growing weed , but are there any " naturals " around at the moment ? . Ta 😃

Hello Elmo , Happy Christmas . An Apeman C550 Dash Camera and a MacBook Pro ( 2nd hand , but well cared for ) . 😁

Thanks very much , G.P. , I did ! . 😃

I've got an original Trakker Tempest Brolly which I'm very happy with for the speed and ease of erecting . I did snap the the top of the composite block when I heaved on the lever without spreading the Brolly out to its' full extent , but the block was replaced f.o.c. through my local tackle shop . 😀

Hello Smufter , and the same to you . I've missed your Tuesday bulletins . 🎅🏻

I want the Kingfisher(s) on my lake to just stay still for a while so I can get a good view , and if one were to land on one of my rods that would make my season . Never mind actually catching a Carp , taking home wet net , sling ,and cradle is very overrated ! . It would be good to get some continuity going in 2020 , the last couple of years have seen interruptions to my plans due to health issues . 😃

I'm very pleased that you're enjoying your fishing , Nick . What would make me even happier would be if I stumbled upon you holding a monster of a Carp , just ready for me to take the 'photos . 😁

I use my cane rod for stalking off the top , but at this time of year it's not seeing the light of day . So I thought I would try using my cane rod instead of a carbon rod this Winter and see if it was practical if I needed to reach the far margin ; I gather you need a different casting technique with cane than carbon . I'm a small waters man so I should be o.k. , a big pit is not for me , then I may also sell my carbon foods to fund another cane rod . 🤔

Well I'm jealous , Carpepecheur , that's very exciting , even though it sounds more Indiana Jones than fishing ! . 😁

My Wife hates Yorkshire Tea , far too strong - it's got to be Tetley One Cup . 😊

That's my Wife's favourite cider 😊

So you each your pie(s) with Jack Daniels ? , a Northern Lad with airs and graces ! . 😁

I bet your Kids won't be allowed to open their Christmas presents until after the Queens' Speech , Elmo . 😁

As I understand it , the chair straddles the width of the bedchair so you need the shorter legs/ bar at the back of the chair to " anchor " it . 😀

I know the tv show has attracted criticism for not giving enough technical detail , but IMO it's so much more than a fishing program - like for me the original Top Gear wasn't really about cars , but about friendship and growing old and still having fun like a bunch of kids . 😀

You've just reminded me I wanted to research a monocular , like something from Stargate , Kev. 😁

Thanks , Yonny . 👍

So for this time of year a PJPU Scopex & Strawberry in Red , or would you want a more blatant White , Yonny ? . 😃

Would that be from your Army days , Ouch. , or are you a weirdo ? . 😁

Proper Job better than Specalized Baits ? .
