Condition are looking really good for Friday down here, shame the cars off the road 😂

I remember watching these on the discovery channel when I was a kid lol, along with John Wilson and Rex Hunt 😂 If I remember correctly I think Matt Hayes brought out a programme with maybe the BBC over the last couple years but it didn't really go off like the old shows. But yeah used to love watching these and learnt a lot from the growing up 👍

Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas period 👍

72hr blank 👍🤣

They were at the winter show on Saturday so still trading 👍

I've been blanking relentlessly so nothing to report 👍🤣

Has anyone heard of any issues with the loop getting snagged on stuff? I'm gonna give it a try, see how I get on 👍

Is it safe to attach leadcore leaders/solid bags by looping it together? I'm tying them on at the moment but being able to loop solid bags on would make it easier lol

I'm quite lucky where I am mate, the river and canal hold some really good fish, although the river is on the decline because of otters and they haven't done any restocking, but they do keep stock the canal every few years. Love a bit of perch fishing too, 0.5g - 7g rod, dropshot setup on holes of weed 👍 I think we can get a bit caught up with the carp fishing and sometimes a change in species can make fishing enjoyable 👍 I'm back on the complex tonight and just done some photos for my mate on the other side with a 20lb linear 👌

It's took me a while to adjust from the ressies as well mate, I love everything about it. Fishing at range, spodding big beds of bait out, hauling multiple 20s a day 👌🤣 I haven't really done any fishing on the reservoirs this year, its been mainly the canal and the complex. Totally different type of fishing imho, really weedy waters, trying to find little holes in the weed then trying to present a bait over it lol. I think out of the last 30 days I've spent about 5 at home, and only had 2 carp (same fish 🤣) Starting to feel burnt out from it now, ended up coming home this afternoon, but now I'm watching the weather forecast and we've got some low pressure coming in and now I'm thinking should I go back down 🤣

3rd time this year ffs 🤣 I've had 5 fish from this lake and 3 of them has been the same fish 🖕🤣 29lb 8oz lol

They are full of stinky winky though mate, the chemicals and stuff the flavours are made of are toxic lol. Wonder what health issues are gonna come about in 10 - 20 years time lol

Well done getting off the vapes 👍 I'm a nightmare for them, puff on it more than I did with roll ups, used to rinse 2 - 3 disposables a day lol. Its a good reminder for me reading this to get off them as well.

Could just get the catfish rods out instead 🤣 They were weed cutting yesterday and it's made it pretty much impossible to fish, big weedbergs the size of transits floating down wiping the rods out 🤣Weed cutting again today and over the weekend 💀 they aint removing it either so it's just getting pushed up and down by the wind 👎

End up hooking a catfish 🤣 there's a few chunks in the canal and its only a matter of time before one of us gets stripped by one🤣
