crusian

Got some more J precision hooks delivered today 
All size 3 advanced wide gape, long gape and curves, I've also got some ZR to treat them with no more rusty hooks for me. 
The LG'S look a bit good, long and have a sticky sharp beaked point 👌
I've also respooled my spod reel with the Ngt braid, seems alright tbh, should cast well as it is quite thin 0.28mm , I've added a shock leader to be on the safe side. 
Did you know its take your tackle box to work day? Need to make some new rigs and booms later 😂

I thought it was a air dry your baits at work day 
 

Got a tub of munch baits tiger nuts in cola and the smell fantastic also grabbed a tub of their brazil nuts.
One rod boile one rod tiger one rod brazil nut, all on hinged chods so i got some rigs to bait and balance far too much faffing to do on the bank when you want to get the rods out ASAP.

No, we did a straight swap, 9/10 times a mate will be coming with me, but I'll still use in my own 😁, plenty space.

New bivvy and sleep system 👍

Highy mate you should have flashing warning lights on top of your bivvy for low flying aircraft you could be liable for accident. 😳

Just a hook pull at the net...😭😭😭
But that was enough... Lumpy went 30lb 8oz last time out...😭😭😭

Banned on my lakes too. Someone must have been using one because I had to get this in this morning 
 

Connected to the biggest fish in the lake, a half Linear called "Lumpy" on a heavy float rod... (a Marco Test and Fred Crouch Ariel)
It didn't end well...☹😭

I do think that flavoured Chick peas definitely work better than standard just soaked and boiled
A nice yellow colour, actually caused by soaking in water with added turmeric and cumin.
 

One from the other week. 

Out on a club water today... one rod only, corn and meat

Got them feeding 

Think the duck wanted out of the rain 🤣

Out on my club lake...

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 .

I think he was soaking it, then placing it on kitchen tissue in trays in the airing cupboard like growing cress or mustard.
 

@dayid you could say my swim is slightly different to yours 
 
 
 

Ahhh the peacefulness of being alone on a lake. 

I learned a valuable lesson on my latest trip… when you put a handful of boilies in your pocket to feed a margin swim first check that you empty your loose change from said pocket, I was literary throwing money away 😏

And the warm wind trickling into your face..

Glad to be out.
 
Loads of BS at work & family,  so feels a real tonic to be here

Me and 2 others tonight. Heaven.
