Carpbell_ll

oh well no reg, can't blame them he was suited for a family so bound to get first dibs on a friendly pup, there is a Harrier that looks nice soft and friendly but they want him to go to a home that has a friendly dog to show him it's ok to toilet off the lead, had that before with dogs. he also don't like most other dogs so that's going to be a struggle. do like the look of him though, looks fast.

the whole of KWP gets weedy from june on, don't know what is going on they do a pricey night ticket on canal pool but they seem to have a lot of problems on that water they had to close it last year and get pumps in. think they had a weed boat out for one day last year on canal three fishable swims in mid summer for a water that size is a bit too wild.

Very nice, pike are the fish that put me off lure fishing i just don't want to catch them as they are too soft out the water.

Wowzzer, see Coventry Carp Baits is closing surprised by that as he did shift a bit, wonder if he will reopen as something else? I know getting good ingredients is silly money unless you import it yourself but he was never that big with sales. think he may of had enough as well sometimes he used to look worn out? Nice guy great bait maker all about the food signals really does pull the fish in.

OK, so reg popped up and he is just right gat carpin dog all over him, got my bid in not holding much hope other than he sounds like a proper jack by nature some people don't like that in a busy home so maybe. https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/dog/filters/eve~~~~~n~~/1251906/reg

my mate has had a few break ins on his window cleaning van no idea what they hope to find bar a few manky scrims, he put a load of cameras up on the van just films them breaking in.

watched it last night makes you want to get out

That's a nope for ben and sam, gutted about that could of had a lovely pair of dogs there, they were right, would love to know where they came from, deff british or irish. So i won't be spent out this side of the new year, wonder if WL will take my deposit, don't think i will be getting Murle, any other mix i'd be fine with but i meet a lot of serious pet terrier keepers when out, might get the odd frown.

lol, know some of the parents and grandparents of those lads one of my rele's houses is in the pic, that poor copper he just wants to get out of there, the lads little homies have got him in a pit maneuver. 😆 You can see it;s a nice keepet estate the kids can be a bit boisterous tis all.

That's how pitiful my tackle was back then they left it one of the rods was a custom float rod had the canal at the end of the street, it was my dads house but he was hardly there be out on his boat or at his mrs, we had a flat in hillfields before that never got a touch and i used to run that place like fagans hang out 🥳

Wouldn't of had you for a new age music kind of guy GP. Bit of sunday smooth golden oldies seems to be having a bit new found popularity, Lord Roy.

I keep all my gear in the house bar the nets and mat not risking it and i live in a low crime area these days, got robbed years back a house break in when i was living in a old two up two down in the city centre, very strange, got up in the morning early and i would put the telly on just the news in the background, that morning i was stood in front of where the telly would of been and nothing is registering for a good 30 seconds also emptied my fridge and bathroom stuff, missed the 30 quid cash and a quarter of hash i had in a draw in the living room, amutrers., too scared to put a light on.

Otters are very lazy they are big cute rats there only downside is they like to play rough, the ones in Alaska keep the fish cannery workers entertained. plus given a choice between fish or poultry i imagine it's xmas every meal time for most otters. Think that what might be how i upset the gaffer on the day he rang me up being all civil servant, i had texted him earlier in the day to say i had seen the mink and it was off murdering stuff in the bushes, went off at me like i was offering to put a dog in there... just saying.

As menched in another thread i have been half offered a jack x merle collie pup i'm not sure on crossing a jack with a merle dog it' goes against everything a jack is i can see the attraction as they are a nice dog but just don't know? still hoping DT come through with the two pups.

LOL, who knew i had a book in me just banged out three chapters of a comedy novel i keep threatening to write, i was pleasantly shocked by my proof readers reaction, they were wetting themselves laughing, i'm just working on a hooker character i would love to add, based on a real person, proper wild woman, i know of guys that have been to see her and upon getting in and seeing the state they pay up and leave she really is nasty but so are the blokes that call in, she don't wash or shower for weeks at a time, it is what she offers saddleless cheap as chips. It's a mix of different characters i have meet over the years, going back to when i was picture selling for the travelers to my time at the hostel as a amuture social worker, i could fill a book with the goings on in that place. It has murders, sex, drugs, all set in rural england the book is aimed at female readers , all names have been slightly changed to protect my pitiful bank balance, might finish it as a short and publish as a free to read on-line book, sod it if shelly can do it so can I, yes there is carp angling in it too but i'm hoping it will be more a character non anglers could understand without too much actual angling background. we will see. So far it reads like a neive lad from the shires visiting the modern world, with a solid theme with which i can add different highly exaggerated characters. Still nothing from Dogs trust it's the last time i try if i don't get ben and sam i'v been offered a Jack x merle collie pup be ready mid jan. 😎

Good way to avoid bird problems is to join a syndi that shoots them or allows a team of non native mink to stay on the lake and deal with those that can't be shot. bit of a sad trade off to see all that seasons cygnets and moorhens killed but at least you can bait the margins. they also put handy traps out here and there, they don't mind bending the rules a little to keep us anglers catching. Spod mix is ok but i have found if you are only fishing for single bites and not feeding, a few pellets and boilies work best spod mix is something you would want to use when you are putting it out all day regular Not saying carp are clever animals more fussy they like what they want and if they don't want a big dinner it could be that that sends them off to the other end of the lake, funny sods.

While i'm on wheels, spoke deleting as it's called, people really do that or is it one of those only if your stupid enough things, seems to be popular with scooby owners, bet if the wheels came minus one spoke pattern they would add it.

Rolling like a G... wheels... i prefer steel wheels 💤

next contenders don't hold much hope of getting these have offered to home both dogs as i have before from DT they are up in Newcastle offered to pick them up at the end of this month, they seem to of gone a bit quite since i turned dave down, he needs a single adult home that can keep him in his place i think if i did that he would look for someone else to push around. https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/dog/1251911/sam?fbclid=IwAR0ijLrGVYHR3-LMlvsF1-eF3p4eROxe0WMcXvVKGSsZALV6HcR7on8N7LI https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/dog/1251910/ben?fbclid=IwAR0JnSJ8wRubYdZ6wAel6u3zLDluroMxZtRov4Qw6u40EVHHbNe_RBQUqqM

Already have two syndi tickets in the pipeline for next year both with in lockdown rules travel distance and i could easily get on a third which i have been offered a ticket for in the past. then there's KWP, just waiting till the new year before dropping the hammer due to having other obligations that come first. The numbers of anglers getting out over the next few years will be on a steady decline due to a serious change in economics and the value of money in return for goods, then there is the popularity of carp angling reached it's peak a few years back and is now on a deline, most fishery owners have based their business model on the economics of 20 years back, it's a bit like £ shops there were expanding up until 5 years back then they closed stacks of branches as they knew it wasn't going to work in the coming change in world economics, my friendly advice to lake owners would be to get as many local guys on the lake as poss.

Talking of complimentss he does give them out turned up last year full lock down look trust me it's proper charles manson a few of the lad were like wow you need a hair cut and shave, next time i turned up it was SBS and clean shave, chris let me know he preferred that look.

I've still got the txt convo and he ain't got that kind of pull plus i will get him blacklisted for being a fascist that likes to verbally abuse those with health conditions then follows it up with a poop fit when told to do one.

Oh my giddy ear, he is now moaning on FB never said the fishery was poop after getting turned down, he may as well just give me a ticket seems i'm living rent free in is noggin' ... jilted carp angler indeed. 🕵️‍♀️

I knew Highy would have a few 😎

Think if you clash with the wrong people it can go against you, me and the guy that fell out over the peg he never did get over it ex doorman likes to be real loud gets a bit whiny if you don't bring your rods in for a few hours out of bite time he even said he was gonna moan me of the lakes or blackballed as he calls it, wonder if his nick went round the lakes, deffo would of chinned me if he heard that one.
