    Sounds like a bit of marginal baiting, would soon bring rewards . Nice & stealthy.... Enjoy 😎

    That would be my worry ABS do there bit... courier doesn't for some reason.

    The helicopter lead set up will travel the furthest & is pretty bullet proof for presentation so might be worth a look for you . But like Nick mentions stopping that line & kicking it all out just before it hits the water & feeling the lead down, should see a pendant set up fishing fine no matter what range . Try reeling in slower & smoother as it could be just tangling on the way in if the rods bouncing around a lot .

    Best of luck mate... look forward to seeing some French units in the catch reports . Just booked a lake for early October, drive & survive this time for me ,unlike back in early spring . Can't wait especially as there's some big commons to try a trip up . Not sure I would of had my bait turning up the day before though .... maybe bring it forward a day or two , just to be safe ?

    Put an order in mate , bit of selection . heading over to another lake in France early October ( Poisson Chat free ) this time so thought I would see what the fuss is about . Certainly makes for good reading on there website. Come on the big Girls 🇫🇷 🎣

    Never bothered with them tbh .... & I catch my fair share when I do eventually get out.

    I've certainly lost the urge , mainly due to otters eating all the local fish ! Just sounds like you need a change mate . I was a river man & didn't fish lakes for over a decade , but eventually I needed a change & had a urge to get back on to some lake fishing , which I've been doing since 2012 , fishing needs to be challenging, like greeskii said once you start going through the motions it's time to move on .

    There's nothing in Cheltenham fella , your have to look at the water park & I'm not sure how many have shower facilities. Horseshoe is about 30 mins away up the A40 & probably your only option ... otter fenced too which is vital these days in our area !

    The floss !!! We don't let him play fortnight but all his school mates do , so he picked up the floss off them last year it was non stop ! I told him it would give him hip problems when he was older & started fining him for doing it lol .

    Before you know it he will be 9 & thinking he's a parkour expert like my boy , the things i catch him doing around my yard frightens the life out of me 🙈 Tight lines mate 😎

    good shout Em .... I just went off slack lines full stop really , nothing to do with the chod itself. But if I wanted a rig to sit on weed then i wouldn't hesitate to use a chod .
  13. chillfactor
    I've not found anything better .... when testing rigs in weedy margins . As long as your bait is nicely balanced it would consistently sit just right on top of the weed . I used to also have 2-3 metres of tiger line which improved the set up again , than just on the main line mono .

    I only think about fishing a chod when I want a bait sat on top of thick weed , thinking about it has the chod gone out of fashion a bit .... certainly don't here people fishing it as much, as say 4-5 years ago ?

    Cracking fish & hopefully still in the land of the living 😎 How you caught them on short rigs & no stainless though..... two words spring to mind " Carp God " 😁
  16. chillfactor
    Was a cracking fish .... sadly no longer with us, along with all the other fish in that lake. Otters !!!! 🤬
  17. chillfactor
    This is the fish in question .... look at the Hoover on it ! Lol
  18. chillfactor
    The bigger the fish, the stronger the Hoover from what I've seen , a mid twenty can suck up boillies from over 1ft away , leaving your rig in place & moving on , they soon work out the safest way to feed ! The thing to remember they all feed slightly differently, so for me not one rig or lead setup will catch every fish in the lake . Sometimes you get lucky & catch a glimpse of a target fish feeding & the penny drops for that particular fish.

    It's an eye opener when it all comes together mate that's for sure . One of my best ever sessions was using no bait what so ever !
  20. chillfactor
    The only problem with short rigs , is your never catch those fish that suck up baits from a long way back or up .... quite often the bigger fish too .
  21. chillfactor
    I renember when you first showed us your idea years ago mate, was a different video , certainly got people thinking , I wondered how you got on with it as it was in its infancy. Sounds like it's doing the job for you 😎

    You be mad to spend out on a wired set these days ... I had all that fox sounder box set up years back & was glad to see the back of it . Another ATT fan

    Dont see why you can't.... & as I your disconnecting the solar panel makes sense too . I can stick the charger straight into the 12v socket on the front turn it on & charge it that way.
  24. chillfactor
    If you get a 12v charger you can plug this straight into your 12 v socket on your power pack & turn the power pack on, it will then be charging, What I would probably do is make the sonar panel easy to disconnect & disconnect before hand . I take it there lead acid batteries?
  25. chillfactor
    What battery are you using cliff ?
