  1. Some of the stitching is coming away on the top right corner of the door, can probably stitch it back myself but if I'm not fishing directly into the wind when it's it should be fine. Managed to get it down to £100. So will look into getting an over wrap because I got it nice and cheap lol. Just had a little play with it, nice and easy to set up, packing it away is a different story, will have to find a video for that 😂
  2. Awesome mate I will give it a test tomorrow. I will also fabsil it when the weather dries up a bit 👍
  3. After going through some reviews I'm gonna go for the axs bivvy. Hopefully it will stay water tight without an over wrap. I may look into purchasing one in the future, but I'm lazy, if I can get away without using one I will 😂 I'm mad I had to pull away from my session but hopefully pick the Bivvy up this evening and get back to the reservoir tonight or for first light tomorrow morning. Need to be off the reservoir for 8am Sunday 👌
  4. Just seen one of these but without an overwrap for 140, do you use an overwrap with yours?
  5. Just looking for that sort of design, looks really easy to set up. I will check out the sonik axs now 👍
  6. One of the spokes has ripped away from the fabric, might seal it up and sale it as spares/repairs. I'm no good at stitching things up 😂
  7. Just looking at some options, can get a trakker tempest dpm4 with a skullcap, like new condition for 230 (no groundsheet tho) the Camo colour looks pretty cool lol Theres also a cyprinus typhoon m4 for 200. Comes with a zip in groundsheet. Also like new condition. Thoughts?
  8. One of my lakes is a 8pm to 8pm and 8am to 8am, nothing worse than getting there for 8 and trying to get everything set up and rods out etc before dark 😂 I'm glad I went today but realised I need to seal my Brolly, water has been [censored]ing in. Bedchair wet, everything is wet 😂😂
  9. Yes mate I've just got up into Somerset this morning, looking at the forecast the weather is gonna be stormy this evening and again tomorrow then overcast with a few showers for the days aftwr, low pressure with southerly winds at about 10 - 15mph. Hopefully it gets them down on the deck 😆 I plan on staying right through to Saturday and pack up when it's dry. Can't be packing up when it's wet is my excuse 😂
  10. The weather is looking good for a bite I reckon. Southerly winds and wind gusts up to 35mph. Some thunder and a lot of rain.. My mate bailed out but I will still be going 😆
  11. My JRC stainless steel bank sticks are still going strong after 15 years of abuse 😆👍
  12. I will probs give the layers mash a miss then, better find someone with some chickens 😂 Can't beat some vitalin, I will give them a go, thanks 👍
  13. Anyone tried it as part of a groundbait mix? I couldn't get any vitalin but seen this stuff so picked it up to try tomorrow.. Any thoughts on it?
  14. I use a brolly all year round, in the colder months I will some times use the front and a groundsheet 👍 On the reservoir I was fishing last night some guy had what I believe was two trakker tempest bivvies with a middle skin so it made one massive bivvy. Next to it he had a green toilet tent set up... 200 yards down the bank you have multiple toilets, showers etc 🤷‍♂️😂
  15. Sensor in brown for me as well, been using it for over 15 years now, can't fault it so haven't found the need to use something different lol
  16. Yeah a lot of waters down here have started spawning and are now shut for a couple weeks 😴😂
  17. Which company would you use for a service? Looking at the reels, the bail arms aren't damaged as such, but they have dropped down, I think it might be the springs need replacing? They do hold a lot of memories lol. Can you recommend a place to get them serviced?
  18. The carp have just started spawning at my local pond. Isn't it a bit early?? 🤔 Now I'm 50/50 whether I should make the 100 mile round trip to the reservoir next weekend incase they are spawning as well 🤷‍♂️
  19. The reels are 743g and the biomasters are 720g so not much difference 👍
  20. I'm sold lol, can't fault the price. The only thing I was a little bit unsure about was the weight but the biomasters weigh a tonne anyway so shouldn't make a difference 😆 Okuma didn't even come to mind when I was looking for reels even though we used to use them as kids, would pick a bait runner up for £30 lol. Thanks for the link, awesome deal 👍
  21. I'm after a set of big pit reels, can anyone recommend some to look at? I've currently got shimano biomaster 8000 xta reels, but after 15 years they've got a bit battered, bail arms and springs need sorting so it's time to retire them lol. I'll mainly be fishing around 80 - 100 yard Mark 👍
  22. I ended up getting the wychwood tactical x high chair, really happy it. It is a bit on the heavy side but not really an issue when using the barrow 👍
  23. I've been looking at the wychwood tactical x high chair, it's a bit of a monster, weighs in at 7.5kg, recliner with arms etc. But it looks high off the ground. Has anyone used or seen one in person? I'm after something high off the deck. I've got a low chair at the moment and it's getting uncomfortable on the knees 😂😂
  24. Nicely done mate 👍 do you use trebles or single hooks? I'm thinking about trying circle hooks on my next session?
  25. How did you get on kev? I'm out tomorrow morning with some rag worm, plan to fish them drop shot style off a deep rock mark 👍
