  1. I was talking to someone yesterday and he just came back from a week in France he actually witnessed a delkim melting in the heat lol that one definitely won’t be waterproof
  2. If crays are in the water then Stay away from tungsten
  3. I think the quote to be used here is don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.. typical journos
  4. Is that the flat mat or the walled version?
  5. Easy mat is a good choice and it’s quite light
  6. 👍 any way that works. works
  7. I still have a set of original sx and dxr alarms as my “go to” sx have been modified to wireless with the att system inside
  8. No need to drill a pellet just lasso it on with a sliding knot when it finally dissolves just open the loop and slide another in to it
  9. Whilst it is unlikely it “could” still happen with a running lead. that same wind knot “could” loop over itself pig tail and lock in the lead Ala a single granny knot. “could” pick up a piece of detritus on the bed and do the same. unless you can take out every “could” You will always be left with an element of risk. i am happy to use a leadcore leader but I will use a knotless knot (Moors knot ) to join it to minimise the risk. Use a Korda no trace bead and again take out an element of risk i would be happy to see the no trace beads more supple/stretchy rather than hard plastic.
  10. Could Always just use paste it’s a non boiled boilie
  11. I wasn’t aiming my reply at anyone Elmo just a general comment. i think the hit and run products are very good
  12. Don’t care what anyone says, There is no fool proof lead set up the best you can hope for is to minimise any problems if and when it happens underwater, anything can happen once the line has snapped off.
  13. Pepperami luncheon meat hemp maples groats are a really easy particle to prepare and flavour up And gives off a nice milky cloud
  14. I have the wychwood epic oval mat great bit of kit just too heavy for my style of fishing great if I’m”carmping” though
  15. Removable base so if you fish a water where sides are not needed you can leave that bit at home
  16. Thinking anglers new one looks pretty good maybe the walls could do with being slightly higher but still 100mm https://fb.watch/A9qijnzvSU/?
  17. I would then fill it in with spombs,marker floats, deeper etc when I was leaving let them know exactly what it’s like… that’ll learn em
  18. Brand new alarms and pod left in swim when packing van up and having to go back jag compact pod set up (in grey when they first came out) and ace i3 alarms total of about a grand lol about the worst
  19. There is a lake on one of my club tickets where a certain point is only a foot away from someone else’s water (close to an island.) plenty of times there has been arguements on whose it actually is.
  20. Can you Rake it to make a clear spot nice little sea lead can make a dent in the weed enough to present 👍
  21. 2 new 20l Jerry cans new set of scupper valves new fuel filter new electric pump tube of mastic to reseal fuel tank don’t buy a boat lol broke down last weekend was going on a double figure smoothound hunt..
  22. No blueys lol
  23. I have an alternate story lol where my mate filled in his spot and caught sod all and I went in with crumbed boilies and caught all weekend lol fish probably not on the bottom atm anyway so just go in with zigs at various depths lol if you have an allowance of 3 rods then You can have different options on each. fill in 1 zig with 1 and bits on 1. the joys of carp fishing lol
  24. But then that could kill it even more lol its all a headache and keep blanking isnt nice if that means that much to catch personally I go to get away from real life my last 3 visits to a bank were socials and the rods were only in the water for a couple of hours a day over the course of a weekend. “Take what you will from this. You might say that the bailiff should not be ignored, after all they know the water as well as anyone. On the flip side, doing what others suggest takes away from what really matters which is figuring the place out. I have to say that not using a rig because it's in vouge is completely illogical. By all means try to be different, but if you're going to avoid using a rig at least have a good reason for it.” 👏👏
  25. You haven’t said the size of fish that are in the lake if they are smalll ones I would give the chod a miss I think I would keep it simple In no particular order go with what the bailiff said just to get the bite. stick a pva bag put with a small 10mm hook bait put a zig out go in with a float and worm and hunt them down weather due to break this week so that will help a bit.
