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

We are all guilty of having way too much tackle and that’s when I think if you look at it and what you paid then it is quite expensive but then when you break it down to how long you might use a rod provided you don’t tred on it etc could be 10/15 years spend 300 on a rod and break it down it won’t be as bad as you think . in 1990 I bought the wife a “proper pole” mid range equates to 1700£ in todays money lol not sure compared to golf though lol

Ask the local angling club Ours always takes donations carp take a fly as well lol

I think it’s relatively cheaper than it was years ago and bait doesn’t have to cost you anything, you can go and dig some worms and catch fish so all that costs is time. It’s only starts to cost a lot of money when you got high end or matching equipment. years ago you had to buy a rod license for every region you fished in now it’s just the 1 im sure it was about 4 or 5 quid a rod for each region in the early 80’s we used to walk. im sure if we went back to the roots we could do it for next to nothing.

Even the decathlon has the 100m in it lol

These “consultants” are telling the brands that’s what is needed so that’s what we get

Oggy

Does that mean Steve o is the guy out of jackass lol

So who is Steve r

Fox did/do a camo in the micron x range

What will probably stop people buying them is it’s not a reputable brand if delkim fox or one of the other bigger players did it then they might fly off the shelves simply because more women are getting into angling nowadays.

Define live bait I guess carp will eat other fish

Mass immigration was a Labour thing to make Tony b liars mrs a fortune as an immigration lawyer… they was feathering their own nests back then none of them care about you. Doesn’t matter what colour flag they fly
