Gary , I'm intrigued why you would taste a bait and if you don't like the taste think Mr carp would feel the same about it ? They taste & smell in a different way to us don't they ?

It will hurt like hell / barely legal / I'll be gone before you wake up .... and I thought I was weird

Turnip you have a pm mate . let me know what you think via pm nice one Phil

Well I've had a good think about the rules, 1...barbed hooks only 2... rig checks Oh & no peanuts or people based in Northampton

I'll have a think while at work today about what rules I might have . It's going to be an exclusive lake booking with accommodation setup ,and where I live hoping it will be somewhere non anglers will like to stay for a brake too .

This is why I can't understand when people say dumping the lead on a chod / helicopter setups is safe . If you get snapped for some reason the lead needs to be there to aid the fish to pass up the main line and free itself from it all . The korda naked system is something i've started using and every time i've had a fish the top bead has gone during the fight . So in the event of a brake the lead sinks to the lake bed and the chod rig passes up & off the line . can't see how you can get much better than that tbh. I'm different to you though Gary as my chod is always set at least 3 ft up the line away from the lead to help it sink as slowly as possible and sit on top of the weed or what ever debris your fishing over .

I see Blatter just resigned .... good news

thoughts are with you mate ... I'll never forget one of my best mates taken far to early probably 20 years ago now sad times mate .

I'm not happy that an Essex bloke can do it and I can't You on your phone nm ? Android or iPhone?

Still not having it mate thanks for your input ... maybe it's something that's been changed by admin ?

Hello mate , yes on the phone. Didn't have to change anything when the site first changed ?

How come we can't stick video clips up directly anymore , just seems to post the link ?

Gomez Get Miles Later With Jools Holland:

I feel a road trip coming on

You been eating to many of those new boilies mate lol

Never got the hole harry potter thing Dal

Heard this track a few times didn't pick it was just drums and bass..... very Should really blow the dust off my drum kit and give it some stick !

One of main reasons for splicing any material is it's strength but also to allow any beads etc to pass over it with ease . I personally like the esp needles come in packs of 3 but you will break the odd one When using them . The Avid pin down and solar unleaded arn't to difficult to work with from my experience.

They look great bits of kit the Gopro cameras. Are you sure the biggest is only 4lb mark ? A couple of them look bigger than that .

Playing devils advocate a bit here ..... and just putting it out there . Could it not be the case that people who believe slack is better than tight for indication ,is solely down to the fact it doesn't show you when you get done by Mr carp as well as a tight line does . I got done yesterday on my low stock lake fishing tight with a big lead , all so fish semi slack a lot of the time and I questioned whether I would of got any indication if I had of been yesterday. It's a definite catch 22 both have there good points and bad . Who knows if I would of been fishing semi slack yesterday the fish might not of been so cautious and it might of screamed off . anyway all if's and buts .... do feel it cost me a big fish yesterday though .

Think there was a double post by jimmboy so one was taken down , just happened to the one you replied on Ddgx. Your original post will probably be moved onto this one .

That's twice in less than a week on this forum I've read that it would be better if the Berlin Wall was still up Tim first now you cm ........ Ridiculous statement ! Try telling that to the millions upon millions of people it's benefited. No wonder it's so quiet on here these days with stupid statements like this being branded about . merry Xmas and good will to all men !
