Hi Callum You beat me to it as I use a Multi Rig with ESP Semi Stiff . Julian Cundiff has a video clip on the Multi Rig with his slight tweaks . I'd be interested to read your results using this rig if you wanted to post them . 😃

Mismatched rods , and reels 😱 , what were you thinking , Blue ? ; no wonder you only caught a Bream ! . 🙄

So what are you saying fellas ? ; it reads like you both want to be made a fuss of 😁 . I'm a Postie , and usually what happens is a passing dog may strain at its lead to come over to me , and have a good sniff of my trainers . Then I'll give the dog a stroke after letting it sniff my hand . I just love meeting handsome dogs , who are much prettier than their owners 🐶.

What about a second hand Fox Explorer ? .

Looks like Jack has had a wash and blow dry specially for the occasion . 😁

Well , Kev , I have just quoted your post to my Wife , but I think she already understands why I don't go fishing / have to catch a fish to enjoy myself . 😃

That all makes me younger than you , Framey , but not by much ! . 😃

Hi B B What gear did you use please , i.e. line strength , hook size , etc please ? . Ta . 😃

Well that's pretty conclusive , Framey . Thanks for all your replies everyone , all very helpful . 😃

Does anyone know what the Green Party's stance on freshwater angling is please ? . I seem to remember Elmo saying he had spoken to a Green person , and was assured that the Greens didn't want to ban freshwater angling ? . Ta . 😃

We're , afraid , very afraid . 😱

Thanks , Highy . A typical , helpful , Highy reply . 😃

Hi Highy All the others have already wished you well , and alluded to the big hole you will leave if you stop posting so I can't really add to that . Just a question though while you are browsing please - how do you keep Mice out of your fishing storage unit ? .

Well I'm glad you've thought it all through , Highy ; having spent time , and money building up your Carp gear . 😃

That's great , thanks Nick . 😃

Hi Everyone . Has anyone fished / are fishing any GAPS waters , and if so what do you think of them please ? . Ta . 😃

Hi Nick I tried the Medium jacket on at Tackle Up , and it's a lovely jacket . But it's not really what I need , which is a Winter jacket . Thanks anyway . 😃

Thanks very much , Nick . 😃

Hi everyone Has anyone a personal review of the above jacket please ? . I currently have an old Sundridge Minus 10C Suit which keeps me warm , but it's a bit bulky so I'm thinking of matching my Jack Pyke zip off leggings with a warm jacket . 🤔

What about taking Super Dog for long walks around Amberswood , plotting and planning next seasons campaign ? ; I sometimes get more pleasure out of all the pre fishing planning than the actual fishing which is mostly a bit of a let down . 😃

What part of Scotland did you go to , David ? .

I don't mind using barbless hooks as I used to stress when I struggled to unhook a fish , but now the hook falls out in the net a lot of the time . I agree that not having a barb on the hook means the hook can move around in the Carp's mouth causing tears especially if I need to apply pressure to keep the Carp away from snags . However , I love the lake I fish , especially as there are more match anglers than Carp anglers so there's not so much competition ; sometimes just me against the Carp . 😃

You've got so much room in your bivvy , Highy , why not hang up a glitter ball , and have yourself a disco ? . Or maybe some Morris Dancers ? . 😁

Thanks , Elmo . The jprecision hook is one I can look at as I'm only allowed to use barbless hooks - crimping / filing not allowed . 😃

That's great thanks , Kev. I'm already using ESP Tungsten Loaded Semi Stiff since Yonny recommended it ; I did have a try with Korda Ready Made multi rig with the Kamo Braid , but I found the coating didn't keep it's rigidity over time , and so messed the presentation up . So now I'm concentrating on whether to use a hook with an in- turned , or out - turned eye . 🤔
