Thatās a bit of bad luck
Easy fix if they donāt, grip the broken piece with grips heat below the eye then slide the eye away. Try it for size if it fits bit of super glue job done if it donāt a light sanding to it till it fits then glue.Ā
Iv done the same fix to a quiver tip and a sea rod š

You can always tell when someone is lying, proving it can be tougher, surely they walk each lake once a day? Would be it be too hard to print out all the bookings on the complex and check them daily?Ā

Where I live there is an abundance of disused ,deep quarries,some are barren,and fishless...but a few have some surprises and have held carp and other species for many years ..
When you fish these places,you have to think like a minerĀ ,and find the galleries, which are mined ,and step down into unimaginable depths ,find the galleries and you find the patrol routes..
The weather was awful ,I had a river running under my shelter,at one point ,wind,rain,hail,thunder,lightning..and a big fear of falling branches made it interesting..,then all the mica,clay residue gets everywhere...anyway ..
Ā
I found the marginal gallery, and fished very simple running lead tactics ,using the Ressi specials I use a lot..After the storm had passed ,I seen kingfisher,heard deer rutting,and woodpeckers, nature at its best ..

Ha! Iāve been lurking and not contributing for some time now but a new PB is worth sharingā¦..
Iām still on a session at Dintonās Black Swan as I type thisā¦ā¦ā¦Arrived at dawn yesterday. Clearly lots of fish still in the big āwinter bayā despite being on the back of a big SW. Lapped a couple of times, debating where to plot up with 3 nights ahead. Decided to keep it simple and put my rigs where the fish were actually showing rather than where they might end upā¦ā¦
Cast 3 singles out for drops amongst the emergent Eel grass which they seem so attracted to. Decided to get my head down for a couple of hours-Iād set off at 2.45am. An hour or so later Iām woken by a screaming Neville. Lifted in to a very heavy feeling fish which was dogged rather than spectacular. Worryingly, it hit the surface about 25 yds out and started shaking its head at me as I led it in; with braided mainline Iām always anxious when they do this with no water depth to cushion the lunges. Fortune was on my side and I netted a Common that got larger with every yard I gained.Ā
With the assistance of 3 other anglers we weighed and photographed an amazing creature of 53lb 2oz! Blown away!Ā

Shambles lol, I should of deffo checked the weather and put a bit more thought into where I was setting my bivvy up, the rain continued all through yesterday and got heavier over night with thunder, lightning and hailstones. The rain was so bad it made its way through the bivvy, the groundsheet some how failed and had water running across it. The ground I set up on just bogged down, this morning I was basically set up in a giant puddle, the bugs vacated the ground and decided to crawl in the bivvy, I had worms and slugs making the way up the bivvy, it was a complete mess šš¤£ thrown the towel in this morning and just packed up in the rain, piled it all into the car soaking wet š¤£š¤£no more fish to report lol

Sky is still fishing with me, and still can't be let off lead.
Today's extra dietary items were a goose egg she found in the margins and a dead thing that she found as I took her for a pee. She won't pee or more in the swim, has to go for a short walk.

Mate,
When I was in my teens we had a Shetland Sheepdog, Sheltie, called Little Mo.Ā
I used to take her fishing, she loved it. Very well behaved, and
despite being free roaming, she would sit still for hours watching. I still think of her. I think that we remember all our animals, not as pets, but more as friends.
Rats?
I got presented with this one morning:
Exactly, she does try to bury it as well, although I think that is 'prey drive'. A predator does not necessarily want to give away the fact they are about.
