Standard day ticket angling then hahaha 😂 

clockwise from bottom mid left
Korda tackle bank and bits bag 
2 rig wallet/boxes
Nash alarm/bankstick case
first aid kits for me and the carp
spare spools blue bag is leads pouch couple of pots of plastic toppers
scales and weigh sling
main bag is a Korum compact ruck bag the Korum mat is attached to the back of it
 
all fits in nice and snug... 
you gotta be ruthless though

the only change to that lot is if I do a night I'll take my bedchair, the back's not up to much these days... then it's a barrow job, but that lot above is a normal day session... my young apprentice is loading up a barrow while I'm at me peg and setting up...🤣🤣

This is all of it... my day/overnighter kit left to right, ruckie mat and chair, bait and food bag, and right is my pair of Dwarf's with net and spod rod with Scope ops brolly...
 

So he's got nothing to do all day , but stare at your rods ? .
😁

Your bag looks very similar to my Nash bag , Highy .
Trouble is now I am a more mature gentleman I need to watch the weight of things , so I use a number of bags to spread the weight around  rather than 1 heavy one , and use a barrow .
Also I like to look in my big Nash bag and everything is spread out in the bottom within sight and easy reach .

No i mean say nothing, innocent until proven guilty 😁

I had a painting job near a tackle shop that was sadly closing down i bought my first proper carp rods from there Des Taylor 21/2 lb maver must be well over 20years ago. Still use them for floater rods. 
Anyway the Mrs says you been buying gear again nar love I says painted a couple of ceilings and he gave me the rods lol
Defo innocent till proven guilty  😉

My Wife donated her craft box ( which has lots of different size boxes you can buy to put in it ) to me .
You might like to look in the shop  Hobbycraft .

I find the best way is say nothing I'm like a yoot getting interviewed by the police  "no comment" "no comment" "no comment" 😁

It's not massive...just a normal holdall...I have 1 more for my food too...
On a full day sesh I would take...Tackle bag, Food Bag, Buzz Bar Bag, Chair, Rod holdall, uncertain weather I'd take my Brolly too...

Well they say a lot of flavours catch the angler and not the fish. 

I don’t mind keeping my hook baits in the cold better than them getting to warm tho. I keep my particles and pop ups in a metal bins with a lid in the shed..... just keep a lookout for mice with a tin opener ! 

It was a beautiful warm spring day today and me and my dog were doing a recce of a lake I have not fished before. It was 2 Km long and completely surrounded by dense forest. On one side was a narrow twisty but pretty walk that had been made through the undergrowth.
After about half an hour I heard an irritatingly loud radio blasting out pop music. I came across two lads carp fishing. They had a mountain of gear and looked the part so I stopped for a chat.
They had not had a single bite. They blamed the bright sun, the lack of wind, the time of year, their bait etc. etc. I said I did a bit of carp fishing and could offer some advice that might help.
“OK” they said.
“Carp really don’t like pop music” I suggested
They looked at each other as if I were insane so I wished them luck and started to leave. “They prefer classical music” I said sarcastically as I continued on our walk.
When I returned a little later, surely enough the radio was no longer belting out pop music. They had retuned to a classical station and was belting that out at an even higher volume.

Can always remove them when I need too, you never know I may even drink one if I ever catch another fish 😂😁

So he's got nothing to do all day , but stare at your rods ? .

Thanks , Elmo .

I have an old , unplugged , chest freezer which is cold , and more importantly sealed from furry critters .
All my bait goes in there , and it doesn't seem to affect it .

Personally, I was advised by a mechanic a while back. Look at what the taxi drivers use. 
My previous motor was a passat, great motor, just needed bigger for work. I've had a Vito for the past 5 years,  love it. Paid about £5k, no major issues, now has 315K on the clock. Hoping to trade it in for a newer model next year, if we get a good SCRAPPAGE scheme with this ULEZ

3 times, as he done it with both rods, then rewrapped one again before he twigged I think!! 😂 

A mate I fish with counts his wraps back & forth is 1 wrap , we always have to check which one we are talking about when chatting about spots lol . 
Nige , years ago on a c.com social moved Andy's sticks a bit wider ..... very puzzled look as his sent his rig into the island 😂
Did you hit a caravan muft ? 👀

Just before Xmas I went up to my dads caravan at carlton meres. 
Got talking to his mate who fishes the lake regularly and he told me there was a nice spot a couple of rod lengths off the big willow on the far magin. 
14.5 wraps he said. 
I had a proper blond moment and somehow told myself that back and forth was one wrap. 
You can imagine what happened when I cast out 😮

I get the bit about pike fishing. I guess my fishing style does not warrant an expensive alarm so I will stick to my cheapo Chinese alarms at around a fiver each.
My best bite alarm ever is my dog. He lays and watches my rods all day long. Long before I am aware of a bite he jumps up and stares at the rod tip. If I am distracted and do not react, he starts barking.

Sort the guttering out, repoint with 4 in 1. I wouldn't apply water repellent on until the end of summer, allow the bricks to dry out. If you stop evaporation externally, guess which side the damp comes out??? If its a solid wall highy, consider putting a mesh cavity membrane, dot n dab plasterboard to that. Good luck mate

Hi , Elmo
