  1. A chunky for Mr Chunkey 😁
  2. Thanks , Highy . I'll give them a trial over this weekend with all these weather warnings around . 👍
  3. I find the Met Office consistently under estimates the temperature . Don't dis Carol tho' or I'll have to give you a slap , Nick . 😁
  4. You mean a fine upstanding heart of oak man such as yourself , Elmo ? . 😁
  5. Yes , that's what Framey was saying now , and has said before . 😃
  6. Here's to a quick recovery for you , Nick . 😃
  7. Hope the pre-op goes well Nick , and you then get an early date for your operation . 😃
  8. I guess the fishing is slow , Nick ? 😀 . I hope Sky is managing to keep cool .
  9. Ah , I've missed seeing Super Dog , not so much Highy . 😁
  10. Ooh , I've never considered / seen that tweak before , Kev. , I'll definitely give that a try . 😃
  11. 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 . 😃
  12. 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 ? . 🤔
  13. All the best for today , Nick . 😃
  14. Another Elmo ? , now you're talking of world domination ! . 😱
  15. 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 . 😔
  16. I hate you , Yonny ! . 😁
  17. 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 ? . 🤔
  18. Oh what it is to be young , all the above would finish me off 😱.
  19. 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 .
  20. 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 😁 ? .
  21. Hi Nick . Just playing catch up . How are you feeling now ? .
  22. Thanks very much , Nick . 😃
  23. 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 😢 .
  24. That looks very neat , Elmo , but I'd probably cast straight into a tree after going to all the trouble of tying it . 😢
