  1. 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
  2. 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
  4. I found these very helpful when my father in law had a stroke and ended up in a chair https://bdaa.co.uk/
  5. Congrats
  6. 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
  7. Maybe perfect solution 👍
  8. 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
  9. The clip isn’t running it is fixed with the pin it is the lead that is free running
  10. I think he wanted 12 foot rather than 10’s
  11. It’s vass they have just been adopted by the great unwashed lol
  12. I quite like the Matthew Collins(? The guy who owns the French fishery) set up using a lead clip as a running rig
  13. Not a chance In essence it’s just a pac a mac type coat and the trousers are the same
  14. Which one ? I have the unlined ones and they are definitely waterproof the clear pvc peak on the hood is rubbish though
  15. 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
  16. What does the warning say
  17. Loctite 55 is what you need
  18. If they don’t have mould or smell funky they might well be ok I got pots that are years old and still fine
  19. But check it just in case lol
  20. There are other sites available but this site https://aabaits.co.uk/product/betaine-hydrochloride-betaine-hcl/ has recommended amounts of each product to add per mix
  21. Problem is I rarely weigh fish so if I need to unhook one on land I usually return it in the mat so to me handles on the mat are a necessary item? the fox version has them I think it’s just a ploy to make more money as when people moan they will make a mk11 i rarely buy Nash gear and I think I just won’t bother again after this
  22. It’s not poorly made but I haven’t been fishing since getting it so yet to use it it’s pretty big even folded down bigger than I expected.. And I used a tape measure to gauge it there is cheaper for the same thing out there I don’t think the bag that others are stored in is a massive hinderance personally. i will say it’s lacking carrying handles which is a failure IMO
  23. It will all be fine if stored properly the hook length materials just try to break them if it’s easy bin them no rust on the hooks then they will be fine I have hooks and materials over 6 years old lol
