  1. Google mark Bryant Meccano rig it’s similar in make up
  2. I keep toying with buying the solar adjustable back rests but at £25 each I really don’t want to
  3. Who was it who said a fool and his money are easily parted …..
  4. not sure how politics have become fishing tackle. and life would be so different under any of the other lying parties….
  5. Fished it when I was a kid, my 2nd fish caught from there.first was from the river that fed it and diverted back into it from the lakes I was 7 My cousins and I used to walk the mile and a half on our own with no adults.it was a different time back in 76 ,there were no fishing signs then …now they have gone and just no cycling signs Spool of line hand line wrapped around the hand and “touch ledgering”with free lined bread on a size 12 aitkin hook to nylon remember the white grease proof paper bags they came in? Those hooks lol. loads of roach were always caught and still get “that smell”in my nostrils when I think about them, no nets ever just in case we had to leg it when the Parkie came around lol. The halcyon days of no worries and a stress free life, a bottle of water and a jam sandwich to eat and drink at the most, but hardly ever ate as the sandwich was used when the couple of slices of plain bread didn’t work. when we had enough walk around to the river side of the lake and jump in and cool down. unfortunately, the river is now just choked up with silt and about a foot deep mainly but they are planning to spend some money on it. Re route the water course back to how it used to be before the lake and then re work the lake Tempted ??? everyday in the summer we then “progressed”to a rod and line and used the same leg it technique at another park lake in Welwyn garden city. I even ponced some money of a copper for the bus fair to get me back to St Albans!! sheesh… how my parents never got Nicked for neglect is beyond me.I was only about 10-11 that time Not “guested” properly since those days though 😂😂😂😂
  6. My daily walk consists of walking around my local park lake I usually see a few fish starting around now the algae has been turning over now for about 10 days but today I had to stop and double check.. the water is clearing up nicely enough at the bottom half of the lake for me to see fish and today I saw the biggest fish that I have seen in there it’s not huge probably estimate between 15/18 lb or so but it’s a mirror and it’s 2 tone front half dark chestnut brown and the back half lighter shades shame it is no fishing lol.. I'm going to start taking a few pellets on my walk I think and then hopefully get a couple of videos of it
  7. What does that mean I do believe “proper” branded fuel does give better mpg

    Oil

    I would make my decision once I got there and had a look at the lake.weather may be looking like that but they usually get it wrong lol Maybe knock up a small bucket of bait with some oils in it if that takes your fancy could be a singles day when you get there personally I hate those big temperature swings
  9. I found these very helpful when my father in law had a stroke and ended up in a chair https://bdaa.co.uk/
  10. I don’t use it I said I like it lol IF I had to use that kind of lead arrangement I would use it but I wouldn’t cut the leg off so I could re use the clip We could pick it to pieces if We wanted to. even running rigs can loop and knot in the air (I have seen it done it so I know it happens)and create a death rig if not watched properly if we have to account for every type of angler on the bank. personally I wouldn’t use a separate piece for the tell tale I would just leave a long tag on the knot lol I’m a helicopter man myself lol
  11. It’s a good question If money is tight and you decide to change waters then 10ft may not be any good for you and you will have to buy again if money isn’t a problem and you can afford to chop and change as needed then maybe 10 will suit you I wouldn’t want to buy rods on line personally as the cheaper rod may feel better in the hand that the other one you mentioned
  12. The clip isn’t running it is fixed with the pin it is the lead that is free running
  13. It’s vass they have just been adopted by the great unwashed lol
  14. I quite like the Matthew Collins(? The guy who owns the French fishery) set up using a lead clip as a running rig
  15. Not a chance In essence it’s just a pac a mac type coat and the trousers are the same
  16. Which one ? I have the unlined ones and they are definitely waterproof the clear pvc peak on the hood is rubbish though
  17. Great sleeping on the floor if you are a young one the older you get a good nights sleep on a bedchair is imperative for the back or suffer for the next week lol waterproof bedchair cover or a tarp to keep dry if needed
