You haven’t said the size of fish that are in the lake if they are smalll ones I would give the chod a miss I think I would keep it simple In no particular order go with what the bailiff said just to get the bite. stick a pva bag put with a small 10mm hook bait put a zig out go in with a float and worm and hunt them down weather due to break this week so that will help a bit.

Apparently made/rolled by munch baits they sold their baits for about 50p a kilo.

If they are having it then it really doesn’t matter if you throw a brick in if on top of bubblers I would probably prefer a catty a couple in rather than a brick lol if I’m fishing a bag then I probably wouldnt bother with anything else anyway. so yup what ever floats your boat.

A stick or catty is a little more subtle than thrashing a spomb around at dusk though lol

Walk round the other side of the lake and check your margin lol bet it looks just as carpy

Margin fishing the most overlooked feature on a lake

I know someone who had rods built by him they said similar but the rods were great when he got them.

No personal experience but Apparently the rods are fantastic, if and when you finally get the rods. customer service, speed of service, communication on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. if it was me, I would be looking elsewhere.

I use slosh 20’s on my sandstorms looking to get a pair of 30’s for the uptiders

Check rules for line diameters

Sounds like a don’t bother lol

You not blaming the reel for a wind knot are ya?? Was just going to ask for an update on these reels and saw this

Red spinners is an even more exclusive club like the BCSG if you into that sort of thing lol…

Fly dressers guild lol tie fishing flies open to everyone bud .👍👍

In most dirty pond puddles I would say no on gin clear waters then possibly

Do you really wanna waste money throwing your bait on top of some one else’s stuff ?? best sticking to zigs or chucking singles around me thinks.

Following. On from the other thread imagine if you will 3 acre swim with 32 swims angler1 has been baiting say 3 swims angler 2 has been baiting 3 angler 3 turns up and does the walk and finds fish crashing about in a swim so sets up and fishes the area angler 2 turns up and says I’ve been baiting that swim for a month what does angler 3 do ?? does he leave or does he stay ? let’s just say he decides to leave and goes and finds a fish elsewhere so resets up and starts fishing angler 1 comes up and says I’ve got something going in this swim mate what would he do then ?? When does etiquette stop and mickey taking start?

if an angler who only fishes once or twice a month as that’s all his time allows turns up at a lake and proceeds to do what the “stars” say and finds the fish how is he doing anything wrong he doesn’t know anyone has baited that area. if you have baited an area and the fish are on it that’s not really his fault. unless he’s in with the clique which most of these type of anglers are not he will never know on a club water it’s “lottery fishing” trying to get anything going you have to pray no one is in there when you come back.

There was a lot of stinky winky talk in the early days leaving the receiver at home !! can honestly say I don’t think it’s ever happened as usually the receiver is kept in the same bag as the alarms. what if the receiver packs up !! what if a normal receiver packs up you still missed the bite either way. i think in the 20+ years they have been available they have proven very reliable and the only problem anyone reported was sticky cases..

I think they have missed a trick and not using the same type of speaker as the old optonic would have still been waterproof then and no different in style maybe a little fatter to account for another little PCB?

When I belonged to the fly dressers guild once we mounted a hook into a vice we were taught to ping test it if it didn’t ping get rid. if a hook could straighten we could go back to using the bent hook rig safely lol

I have a mk4s i think and for the front bag I use a trakker side pannier bag think it’s this one

Put a half inch #6 screwinto a piece of 4x2 wood and see how easy it pulls out then Try that with a 11/2 #10 screw

Totally agree won’t even let my best mate tie a knot..

Ebro Google ditch Ballard or ebromadcats.
