  1. I don't blame you for wanting to go all vigilante , Commonly , trouble is if the Police catch you you'll get into trouble , not the scumbags that are doing all the nicking / damage . 🤬
  2. Can you do what some lorry drivers do i.e. leave the doors of their empty lorries open to show the scum there's nothing worth nicking ? ; or is it not possible to isolate your vans cabs ? .
  3. But did you all enjoy yourselves just being out ? .
  4. You're all heart , Highy , thinking about your Wife like that . 😁
  5. Personally I wouldn't use 8s . As Nick says a 6 , or maybe go up to a 4 . 😃
  6. I've just remembered , I think I read that if you are losing fish in weed use a bigger hook . What size hook are you using , Jordz ? .
  7. Something I do , Jordz , on my lake is to strike , jump up , and run backwards . I hustle the fish away from any snags , and then start the standard " pumping " action and reeling in . I know it sounds / looks weird , but my thinking is as soon as I drop the rod tip , even if I manage to synch. my reeling in I'm going to allow the fish to take some line . In addition some anglers " drop the lead " to help get the fish higher in the water and above the weed . Hope some of this helps . 😃
  8. Well the phrase " it's my happy place " sums it all up for me . It's great that that you are managing to still get out despite your health issues , Nick , you tough old git, but perhaps you might have less dramas next time 😁 ? . 😃
  9. So what you are saying , Elmo , is there was no money left for toys ? . 🙄
  10. Probably a French , Arthur Daley out to make a few euros . 😁

    Dogs and fishing

    What a beautiful dog , Kev. . I particularly like the way he is reading the water , looking for signs of fish , I'd better take a leaf out of Jack's book . I wonder if he will keep the two shades of fur as he grows up , probably not ? . 😃
  12. Well when you've gone into business , Elmo , you'll have to pm me as you can't buy and sell on the forum . 😉
  13. Well I stood on a chair for my 40th and danced to the Macarena , and The Barbie Song with Goofy ! . 😁
  14. Well at least you've kept your sense of humour , Chill . Did you enjoy the whole experience , socialising with your mates etc ? .
  15. I was wondering that , Commonly . Let's hope Elmo and family are o.k.
  16. Thanks , Framey , I hadn't considered that . 😃
  17. Are England boring you , Newmarket ? . 😁
  18. Thanks , Ouch . 😃 You stinker , Elmo , trust you to be different ! . 😁
  19. Hi Everyone When connecting a hook to a Ronnie Swivel I'm thinking ; Hook lying on it's " back " then the " crook ? " of the Ronnie Swivel enters the eye of the hook from the top i.e. pointing down . I hope that makes sense . 🤔
  20. I never fancied overnighters in the first place , and these posts just reinforce my decision . I find it hard to discipline myself to check the lake out in the daylight , never mind the dark . Hats off to you , Elmo. for having the " hunger " to push yourself , I'll just pull the duvet over me , and read about how you got on when I wake up the next morning . 😁
  21. Is it me , or does anyone else want to push the cyclist in the lake ? ; all that ringing their bell , not 1 " excuse me , nor " thanks " . 😠
  22. I used to take Nurofen Meltlets if ever I tweaked anything to try and stop the muscles going into spasm , but I had to stop that as the Nurofen clashed with my regular tablets . Nowadays I just take paracetamol . Sounds like you need regular stretching exercises to make you more supple , Elmo . 😃
  23. Hi Newmarket . Fancy an Italian Manager ? , hopefully there will be one going spare soon . 🤞
