  1. Yes , as Nick has said before " enjoy the journey " . It's amazing what you are achieving , with that size water I would have talked myself into abject failure before my first cast . 😃
  2. Is that your first double , jh92 ? . Hopefully you are starting to work your way through the smaller Carp , and the big boys and girls will come along to find out what all the excitement is about ? . 😃
  3. I don't know what part of the country you are in , jh92 , but as you know there are thunderstorm warnings out . As you say take it easy , don't get heat stroke like my Sister , after you've built this trip up / put so much thought and effort into it . 😃
  4. Have a great time at your new Res. , jh92 . 😃
  5. Watch out fishes here comes " Highys Autumn Campaign " ! . I've only fished 4 times this year due to problems with my toes / family holiday / seeing family / it's too damn hot at the moment , so I'm also looking towards emptying the lake starting the end of this month 😁
  6. Well it sounds like your Sister is helping now , just like Elmo suggested . Best wishes to you , Highy , you're too young to have to go through this stress . 😃
  7. Well I know they are your Parents , and Sister , Highy , but what a bunch of - not allowed to swear on the forum . 🤬
  8. Well I guess the English translation is " oh my goodness what is happening ? " . Don't think I would be sticking my hand in the monsters mouth even wearing gloves . 😄
  9. So have you still got the Tempest 100T for when you fish solo , Highy ? .
  10. Nick has just beaten me to it . Sprouted means encouraging the bean ( whichever it is) to germinate . I used to use sprout Chick Peas , and also colour them when the standard Chick Pea was losing it's edge . 😃
  11. I'm not jealous , Dayvid , honestly . 😢
  12. It's what Framey has typed - ignore the quoted breaking strain and go by the thickness i.e. 0.40 as Ouch. says . You need a thicker line for abrasion resistance against the branches ; a thinner line may well break at the same figure , but with a straight pull on a weed / snag free water . 😀
  13. 🤮
  14. 😱 No ! , bring back cuddly Teddy Bear Elmo .
  15. Well you posing all Alpha Male in front of your Trakker Tempest isn't selling it to me , Highy . Maybe Elmo in a Mankini ? . 😍
  16. I thought that was a nutritious , healthy meal for you , Elmo ? . 😁
  17. Hi Newmarket What about a pellet feeder set up for TJ , it worked for you ? . Would that be the natural progression after the whip ? . I would let TJ ask you when he's ready to go fishing again . 😃
  18. Well from what you've written , Elmo you've made a great decision ; your post reads that the lake is your happy place which to me is very important in stressful times . Interesting what you say about the Deeper - I've " found " some interesting spots with the Deeper , but can I then find the flipping spots with a marker set up afterwards to cast to ? - can I hell 😢.
  19. Well I’ve never seen that before , Nick .
  20. Tight lines , Elmo .
  21. You and Fred sound like you are an ideal match , Campbell . 😃
  22. Good idea to have Fred wearing something florescent in the dark Carpbell .
  23. Does Jack know that all Swans belong to the King now , Kev ? .
  24. Well said , Elmo . 😃
  25. Hi Norwegianblue How are you , hopefully not " pining for the fjords " ? . 😁
