Exactly that I have the tempest and a fast and lite for everyday depending on weather a cheap old 2 man jrc contact if wife decides to go lol plus a grand for a glorified tent is ludicrous

I’ll stick to my mk1 tempest brolly

I would go and have a look and see if there are any news signs on the gates failing that owner of the lake through council records etc do you have any details for a bailiff or fishery manager ?

Use a soft skin and break the coating in places

I would say profit margins If they don’t supply to shops they should make more profit by selling direct most of the bigger companies started in a shed or garage

At least the wind can go through this style of panelling instead of a complete block of wood

Yep it does only difference between the 2 is the space saver rib structure

Goi g down the boat tomorrow so might stick a rod out over the side depending on what time the tides in 😉🫣

Wouldn’t be allowed in any other industry so not sure why anglers accept it you wouldn’t buy a car if the door didn’t shut or needed charging up every day

Shouldn’t take a mk11. the money these companies charge for an essential part of kit, it should be right before it’s released. quite a simple thing to ask really

Take it back and ask the tackle shop to set it up then either get money back or new bivvy

Adrift gas farehams new book an air stone and pump for my live bait bucket a shrimp net bucket bracket for the Porter lite

imo Sorting the areas is different winter usually means less anglers on the bank to disturb so you can find areas to target no one to spot what you are doing and finding etc find where the sun hits first,Midday etc. and then use those as the possible likely areas after the freeze when it happens and if it doesn’t ?? you have done the hard part at the crappiest fishing time (for humans) anyway so you can then concentrate on the catching 👍👍

Wait until after the freeze up.. why bother getting something going and then have to stop if there is a freeze waste of time money and bait.

And you need to keep a quality check goin on some one else did it on here a couple of years ago

Still get a load of tat from China so be careful better to make a little profit and have a good reputation than fold because you have a bad reputation.

How many acres. how many fish? what size fish what rigs are you currently using? what type of silt is it bait…hard to actually get a bait nowadays a fish won’t actually try to suck in once… (carp will suck in a dog end)

Chuck a helicopter out (Search “chod rig”) Get down and bait a couple of days ahead to put a bit of bait out (if you can) keep eyes open and move if you see anything

School boy error!! sounds not clever enough to be a son in law now lol

And smell of bonfire when you want a cuppa lol

So are some on the linear complex

Age old question on guides… some say 50mm butt some say 40mm butt it’s usually 6 or 7 rings though depending on where you put the first one on the butt. im not a builder sorry.

The independent butchers green grocers bakers etc can’t compete with the likes of Tesco. same for most tackle shops who don’t have the buying power of AD

most people will think nothing to spend 3 or 4£ on a cup of coffee a day and then moan about ticket prices as they are driving to the lake. my club is 135 a year for me and the mrs. I don’t like to fish day tickets as they ARE too expensive imo. plenty of town centre stretches are still free to fish ok most are devoid of carp but hey ho plenty of other fish to go for all top end equipment in any sport or hobby is expensive I can buy a screwdriver for less than a quid but I wouldn’t use one.

Still only £1.37 a day less than a cup of coffee lol
