  1. Hello Everyone I have a Korum Supa Lite Fast Mat , but recently I have caught a couple of Carp edging towards the 20lb mark , and as it's possible that the waters I fish may produce a 30lber . So do I upgrade to a Fast Mat XL , or something else ? . Ta 😃
  2. It may have been Nick that said something like " fish only need enough water to cover their backs ? " .
  3. Hi Newmarket I wonder if the 30 who don't fish are waiting for those 10-14lb Carp to grow into 20s , and then memberships may become hard to come by . 🤔
  4. I used to just go floater fishing armed just with a bag , rod , mat and landing net ; only taking a seat and ledger rod if the weather looked as though nothing could be tempted on the surface . However getting older with a manual job sometimes I just want to plonk myself down in a swim , and set up shop . So am I enjoying my fishing more these days 🤔 .
  5. Thank you for your beautiful post , Barry . I find that as I get older I'm getting grumpier , and too quick to jump to the wrong conclusions 😔 . I would like to think even I would have worked out what was happening , and now your timely post has given me a kick up the bum to put my brain in gear . 😃
  6. Have you been to the Doctors ,because I know it sounds daft , but I'm sure I've heard of someone having a bit of coral growing in their ear ? . West Ham were robbed ! . 🤬
  7. Excellent stuff , the both of you . I wonder which gives you the most satisfaction , TJ enjoying himself , or you catching a " monster " ? . 😃
  8. Scuba Diving in Egypt , get you ! ; who would have thought a roughty , tufty , old Iron would rise to such dizzying heights . 😁
  9. Hello B33Troot What an epic first post ! . I'm looking forward to following your journey , and who knows I may even be able to answer a question or two if / when you have them . 😃
  10. Your Wife's favourite hair clip 😲 , you've either lost the plot , or you've got huge cajones . 😁
  11. A 50lb Carp in Suffolk ! 😮
  12. So how deep into Essex did you have to go to catch that beauty , Blue. ? . 😃
  13. Like the way you have backlight the Carp’s tail , Highy . 😃
  14. Well done Nick , a double whammy - a new P.B. , and the Otters haven't decimated that stretch of the River ; are you still on the River , Nick ? . I noticed the other day that there's a Facebook group " Save The Gipping " , maybe you are on there already ? . 😃
  15. So if you can’t see any signs of the Carp where do people think they might be ? . Maybe in the deepest part of the lake where there is more oxygen ( ? ) , compared to the shallows ? ; or does the time of day alter things ? . 🤔
  16. Did you ever work out the answer to your question , Elmo ? . I'm asking as I've just started using the RidgeMonkey Hook Ring Bait Screws , but l'm wondering should I use say an ESP Plastic Bait Screw that doesn't spin ? . 🤔
  17. That's an interesting question , Highy , I'm looking forward to someone providing the answer . 🤔
  18. Well I think you could give me a run for my money , Elmo , you big cuddly Teddy Bear . 😁
  19. I'll have to shave my legs then so I can wear my Mankini . 😁
  20. Thanks very much everyone , that's given me plenty to consider . 😃
  21. You consistently show me up , Highy you smarty pants Northern monkey you . 😁
  22. Hi Everyone I used to use clip ons over my prescription glasses , but recently I changed frames and now they don't fit . What to do , shop around for new clip ons , or is it worth having prescription polaroids ? . Thanks . 🤔
  23. So which was best Stevo , catching the big Cat. , or spending the Weekend with your Wife ? . 😁
