Hope the pre-op goes well Nick , and you then get an early date for your operation . 😃
-
I guess the fishing is slow , Nick ? 😀 . I hope Sky is managing to keep cool .
-
Ah , I've missed seeing Super Dog , not so much Highy . 😁
-
Ooh , I've never considered / seen that tweak before , Kev. , I'll definitely give that a try . 😃
-
Thanks , Kev. Yes my Boom section has a loop at both ends . I also have a break behind the loop knot extending back about 5mm , with my counterbalance weight 3mm back up the coated section of the braid . 😃

Hi Kev So I have made ; 7" Esp Tungsten Loaded Semi Stiff boom section with a 1" loop . No.6 Korda Choddy . Nailed 2 Skimmer Bream in the middle of the bottom lip , and a little Tench , and a few Carp 😃 . I have used the Kryston Non Slip Loop Knot for the loop , but it's a little fiddly ( I'm a simple soul ! ) , so I wondered what is the best Loop Knot ? . 🤔
-
All the best for today , Nick . 😃
-
Another Elmo ? , now you're talking of world domination ! . 😱

I can just picture Yonny shaking his head in disbelief ; Yonny due to family commitments can't go fishing , and I'm handed perfect conditions , and then I bottle it ! . Lesson learned then chaps . I did have a poorly toe that I thought I would rest ; now it's Nick's turn to shake his head as he still battles on with all his health problems . 😔
-
I hate you , Yonny ! . 😁

Hi Everyone I'm kicking myself for not going fishing today , but after 2 days of rain I'm trying to convince myself that the fish wouldn't be biting anyway ; would they ? . 🤔
-
Oh what it is to be young , all the above would finish me off 😱.

Thanks Nick , and Mr Mud . I have a spare 'phone , and now I'm on the lookout for pay as you go SIMs where I don't have to regularly put money on to . I'll try EE , and O2 .

Hello Everyone So I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of using a Sat. 'Phone , or a Sat. Sleeve ? . I can't be the only one who fishes where there is no mobile signal , and then worries that no-one can contact me if there is a problem ; or is that the best part of " disappearing " when you go fishing 😁 ? .

Hi Nick . Just playing catch up . How are you feeling now ? .
-
Thanks very much , Nick . 😃
-
Thanks , Nick . I have to be careful regarding Solar 101's and Kamasan B175's as the waters I fish say I can only use manufactured barbless hooks 😢 .
-
That looks very neat , Elmo , but I'd probably cast straight into a tree after going to all the trouble of tying it . 😢
-
Thanks Kev , Nick , and Elmo . That's lots of very useful information for me to think about , much more than I was hoping for . Many thanks . 😃
-
I hear you , Blue . I can't wait to hook one of these big carp that allegedly just plod around staying deep until it's time to land them ; these low doubles that charge around like nutters , and refuse to give up are so tiring when you are a mature gentleman . 😁
-
Thanks , Kev . I believe you are a Multi user ? ; what coated braid do you use please , and how big a loop at the hook end ( I'm guessing as you are targeting bigger Carp than me your loop sets your pop up fairly high ? ) . Many thanks . 😃
-
Hi Everyone . Your opinions please . Which is best to use for a good hook hold , a Curve Shank Hook with the in - turned eye , or a Chod Style hook with an out - turned eye ? . Would the answer change depending on whether you were using a Ronnie Rig , or a Multi Rig ? . Many thanks . 😃
-
Get well soon , Nick . 😃
-
Maybe you should think of early mornings as very late nights , and wear dark glasses , Nick ? . 😁
