Not fished Horseshoe since the last social there .... not the most social of venues due to the size , so would probably recommend doing more than 2 nights . Give us a chance for a good Chinwag & a hopefully a bite . Always been pretty weedy & I can't see why that would of changed , so bare that in mind also .... finding presentable spots can take time , which would also point to a longer session ? Been quite a bit of change since I was last fishing there .... in regards to snag removal which has changed certain areas, so will be good to go back for a session 👍

Sounds good to me 👍

Just checked & September looks good for me... would rather do more than 2 nights though if possible, but happy either way .👍

Date dependent .... always up for a social 👍

Unfortunately Tim .... I Never got planning on my Land , like you mentioned that goes back a decade of trying. This lake is a friends project only down the road from me . We will hopefully make a start in the spring 👍 Other plans.... off to France in March now for a spot of monster hunting . 🎣🎣😎

Thanks mate.... just looking at the date of my original post & it will be 3 years in January ! .where does the time go 🙈

Well 2 years on & 16 thousand pounds 👀 in planning fees finally got the go ahead . To late in the year now so will have to be spring next year for a start date on the works .

Bit of Tetris & you should be fine with the custom for 3 anglers . Two of us go in My lwb connect with a little bit of room spare . Your make it work 😉

Main thing to remember through out the summer & especially in these current temps , is to limit the time any capture is out the water, or best of all do all the work in the water if possible. Should think DO levels are getting on the low side ... which will make the fishing tough going & be the cause of many a blank .

CT1 won't let you down.... not used it on bait boats myself as I don't have one , but its a good product & will work for your requirements.

Nice mate 😎

I've not had that trouble mate , the ones I use are hard enough to get on , they never move . But if they've solved a problem for you then its all good . 👍

I did chuckle at the release of the " one more cast " long distance hook beads 🙈😂

Did a little write up on the previous page mate 👍

Didn't notice any reflection at night mate .

Yes Tim .... used it last week at the woolpack social. First impressions are good, certainly a bigger footprint than my old armo 2man , which could be a problem if swims a tight . Had thunder storms / hail & coped fine . Its a different set up to my old armo in regards to pole layout, the porch on the new Hq is part of the pram hood, where as the armo you had to insert the poles for the porch . My only worry with this is in strong winds , I had to take the porch off the armo a few times in the big gails to stop it trying to take off , this won't be an option with the HQ . Overall I like it good material etc will just have to see when it comes to the really carpy weather & the big winds.

Enjoy mate 😎

Been a few times & always Enjoyed it .

That's what we thought mate when the offer was made . Managed 3 bites so far , 1 lost & 2 Tench . Leaning towards the lost fish being a Tench too . All 3 very similar bites"drop backs" Nige has had 2 stockies & mick 1 stockie all low doubles. Think we've had 7 bites between us . Just need what's on the end to change 🤞

Well the exclusive lake we had booked at woolpack ,has started spawning 🙈. As we were here, we ended up on one of the syndicate lakes instead of a refund, so only just got the rods out & sorted. 🤞

Nice though 😁

Paid £440 for the HQ 2man which was a good price I thought. Not even looked at it yet tbh been to busy ! Still in the box 🙈 , probably turn up to the lake still in the box 🙈😁

Hi mate .... I purchased the avid HQ , thanks for the input though 👍

As of today they haven't spawned on the exclusive lake... but from what your saying it doesn't sound good .
