Gift voucher saves buying tat they don’t need.

The top 2 posts have it nailed down only thing to add is jumping fish do not necessarily mean feeding fish.

Well done 👍

UB yes sorry..

There was 2 main ones.. one was owned by Matt and he sold it to some other guy and that’s the one closed down. apologise if I have the 2 mixed up

Thought proper job had closed down??

And probably the next generation you leave them to lol

5500 is a nice size reel and almost an all rounder

Oldie but goodie

Weedy in the summer so be prepared some good fish in there the guys in the tackle shop will tell you anything you need to know the islands usually fish well

Looks like the old angling intelligence one shame it was discontinued

Diameter of 20lb iq2 is 0.47 diameter of 14lb is 0.4 xs crimps are 0.5 so either would work but I would go 20

Can’t give you a bank side bodge but my boat cover had 4 holes it it and I used tear aid fix kit from millets to repair it as a temporary fix until I buy a new cover these patches are always under water when it rains and until I go down to the boat for any reason and then I throw the water off the other thing that may work is tenacious tape

Sonar doesn’t tell you if anything has eaten the bait which I think the way I read it is what the op wants to find out. i would have thought the Waterwolf or the fish spy would have been the better option. i think the other problem is they only work properly in clearer water.

Anker do seem to lead the way .

Absolutely put something they want to eat where they want to eat it and the rig can be anything just need a sharp hook.. Don’t forget you can make a kilo of boilies go an extremely long way if you crumb them up so then it can become “relatively” cheap a sack of groats are about 20£ a sack and easy to prep even for a beginner. and can help to make a kilo of boilie go even further and add some cloud into the water to give the fish extra confidence Just need do what you are happy doing confidence breeds success

Most heat sources produce carbon monoxide. really need to go safe good bag is most important. hot water bottle or a thermal cover or a 12v electric blanket even putting the unhooking mat on top of the winter skin will help a tiny bit.

If you really need to there is a couple of electric blankets that will plug into a power bank I bought one for my mrs as she always moans she’s cold saves me putting the heating on lol.

You don’t need a bivvy heater decent bag and a water bottle and maybe a winter skin and that should be good enough whatever you do please don’t use gas heaters it’s just too risky..

Take them out even longer before you go and just wash them out in a bucket of water about 3 days some stupid carp think they are safer as they have been in the water longer…..

Could use that part of the CRA. would also help if you could pick up the advert to prove it doesn’t mention the fact it will only fit pre or post 2017 model.
