Well Night time has fallen, you can hear the wind through the trees, the water is still quite choppy, it feels quite nice tonight

It's windy here, we had trouble getting the shelter-skelter up, still, it does feel good for a fish

I've had my smalls hanging on a bank stick all afternoon in the sun, they should be ok now

Thanks for the offer steve, but I don't really do socials, my bank time is all evolved around my missus being off work, hence the shorter sessions I do, plus I don't really function very well in front of a group of people, I'm just a miserable git

I waded out a bit to far earlier, I couldn't be bothered to wait for my mate to finish with the waders, just went in a little too deep and the twins shot up and my pants are soaked lol

Just for you Jon #cornbeefhash #thatscarpy

Don't tell Mr Kipling but these are awesome

I don't think there's a carp that won't take a boilie or a particle in the right conditions.

Why not just use raw as hookbaits then?

Have you thought of semi drying your hookbaits and wrapping pva mesh around them or could you not fry the hookbaits and skin them off. When using corn at long distance I used to cut the corner off a solid pva bag, dry the corn a little, put the corn and hook into the bag, lick and squeeze shut.

Just the tiger juice and the cloudy liquid that accompanies the boilies, the pellets are just there for added weight for the spomb, and for releasing the liquids, it was all put into soak yesterday so the pellets are really soft, they won't take long to break down completely just leaving the tigers and boilie spread around. I don't bait tightly, 10 mini spombs over a quarter of a tennis court say, its just a handful each spot, but keeps the fish moving, sort of like the boilie stick approach with just a little more bait

There just out the tin jobbies steve, I've layer on a mini buffet

Try the korum multi mat, i love it

All set up, bait out, rigs out, coffee on, now it's just a waiting game

Perfect tim,

Tetras at its finest lol

Tetras at its finset lol

Stripped down to the essentials, wait until you see when my mayes gear goes, he's a hoarder lol

Don't you just hate waiting, everything ready, and I'm pacing the front room, willing 12.30 to arrive

It's just convenient mate, I don't have to take up valuable space in the freezer or worry about them going off, my time is short at home, I don't have time for messing around so I buy shelfies

There's no real difference anymore, I use shelfies now because of limited freezer space and convenience.

Told you I wouldnt get much sleep lol I'm not leaving until 12.30 and im climbing the walls, I may have to watch a load of Thinking Tackle to quench my thirst

Another method I'm hearing a lot about is spombing out boilie crumb soaked in liquid food. Not fine crumb but the bigger bulk crumb, nothing really to feed up on but plenty of attraction. There's a few liquid food about, you could try. Molasses Nutramino Multimino Mina mino Amino 365 CSL There's just loads Any of the liquids in the build you own packs. I wonder whether these companies would supply more of these little bottles of food if you asked. Soaking boilies in glycerin makes a really hard marble like bait, I discovered that one by accident.

Ooo yeah I've done that as well lol

I've even managed to hit myself with a boilie out of a throwing stick, it's just not for me
