Got to be one of the best bivvies on the market today

Big D himself must of been lurking the the boards he has made us a video.

Seen this video of a young lad out on his own fishing in the snow and falling in out of the lake like it's a bath tub, since when do you need waders to fish a day ticket water, no I'm not calling the lad a wingnut, those that can't play and land a fish unless wearing waders, if his mum see's this mess he won't be out fishing anytime soon. like I've said before winter fishing is always a struggle due to the cold mistakes and accidents can soon pile up.

I use the 16lb which seems way too fine when you first get hold of it. when I first put it on the reels I went to a field and casted them out tied it off to the goal posts and reeled in I was near casting the length of the pitch with 2 oz leads and 6000 baitrunners on 10 foot rods I would happily use the 12lb tiger line but that might get moaned about.

Tiger line never had a problem with it, PB Products do a fluro that is claimed to be way ahead of anything else, going by the price i doubt many will be using it. 400M for 60 notes. https://anglersworld.ie/products/pb-products-ghost-dragonfly-fluorocarbon

lot of good features that are a first, if you could have the same six rods on two receivers could be handy for some. the auto vibration is a bit silly especially if there is no indication of which is in use.

You would need a good reason to buy these same for the delks and high end fox alarms I'm temped myself to go with a new set of alarms, like the Gardner ATTs, get them on 12 months interest free those and a nice Cygnet quickloc pod and minimal swan bars all in green, down low and tarty ha ha

Looks good elmo i use purepellet get some of their ultimax mix but i do like the look of the Best pellet Aller aqua do

Mental even lol

Bit of Catfish noodling in the margins kind of water. lol I think that looks mantle some of the guys that do it end up with a seriously damaged arm. there would be a lynching on some club waters.

I think fresh cooked beetroot might work as a ingredient to add colour and texture then you would have what i call Sunday dinner appeal you know when you are real hungry and that big plate of roast veg really is standing out due to all the vitamins and nutrients it is kicking out. I think spirulina does the same in a bait so already covered with a proven ingredient.

Might want to get to now peak boat traffic times that area in the canal is a boat turning point it's where narrow boats can do a three point turn might not get used much but when it does the bottom really does churn up lots of high revving in shallow water, should be a good channel in the centre though.

Gravel pits for me mainly i would love a nicely stocked estate lake to fish something like Longleat, the lake bed where i fish is a moonscape the bottom is real soft in most areas sure there is a big slab that could be and old viaduct drainage from when it was dug out, when you stand on it you can feel it is flat and solid under a layer of silty mud. good spot as well.

lucky Canada the funny thing is that means the crown will be drawing an income from that sort of yet there are a lot of people in the uk who think we should take the same approach as the Arab countries or the Philippines can see where the user anxiety issues come from. From what I've seen of the cheese strain it is more of a medical grade knock you out type thing seems to be what most of the street dealers sell, when in Amsterdam lol, I like the sativas and haze hybrids not too keen at all on the Afghani Indian indica hybrids some are ok but if i can get it then it has to be high quality Moroccan or Lebanese hash.

A lot of issue around the green or what ever you wish to call it i go with hemp flowers if the plant has not gone through any kind of extraction process, addiction is a bit overkill when talking about regular use the side effects from not having a smoke for a regular smoker is the same as not having your coffee and Fag in the morning. The financial problems are due to the illicit nature of the costing structure if a person could freely grow their own in a outdoor greenhouse all the financial and backstreet retail issue would not be there. The only strain/brand/name i would strongly advise people stay away from is the horrid cheese weed, it's disgusting and obnoxious and there is something not right about it couldn't tell you what as i wont have it or those that smoke it regular around me.

Love mine was unsure as weather to get them or not due to them being 10 footers i figured i would get on with them as i used to use a 10 foot float rod and much preferred it to a 13 float rod. Really do like these rods they are the kind of rods that are a pleasure to use .

Sometimes you do have to feel sorry for sponsored anglers you can see they are lying their rump off i've been watching a few Simon Crow vids now that's how you video fishing sessions for social media it's all about where he is fishing and non of that you need this and that nonsense to catch fish. Old fishing buddy of mine only fishes canals or any pools he can get on for free always with just a cheap argos float road and reel, Tench are his main target, i once talked him into buying a day ticket for pine pool turned up with his float road sat on the end of main causeway we all fish off and put us all to shame with the amount of very large tench he had out, really was something else all from slowly feeding the swim maggots and corn.

Prologic rods have always been solid like at of of their tackle seems to be one of those companies that get overlooked the new range of bivvys the inspire range look one of the best buys out there for a 20.000 mm bivvy.

Was going to say when i over do the hook bait pimping i empty the pot into a old sarnie box give them a roll around and pop into a clean pot, usually leaves enough liquid in the sarnie box to coat a few other tubs.

Not sure what pole he is using but Nuffinbutfishing did a recent you tube video of a session on a Somerset water one of his own vids not a work review pretty good, he makes watchable films can see how he got the job.

Pine pool at KWP is a funny one you can see clear spots out in the middle on a sunny day as well as plenty of other spots close in, i will stick my neck out and say if you fish them there is a good chance you will shut the lake down the more bait you put out the more likly it will happen, they like it in or on the weed or the odd clearish spot around the margins , what works best on a real hot day is wafters fished on 3-4 foot of mono and an inline lead the lead goes through the silk weed and the wafter sits on top get right on the right day and pine pool can become a runs water.

If Gabriel don't mind a bit of reel talk outside his choices, has anyone used or handled the Shimano Baitrunner Oceanic Reel for the money it is a expensive reel for me but it looks like it has all the baitrunner qualities of old Baitrunner System Dyna Balance Anti-Wobble System 3+1 Shielded Stainless Steel Bearings Varispeed Oscillation System Floating Shaft II Easy Maintenance AR-C SPOOL Power Roller Super Stopper II Also since when did a good light metal such as ally or even titanium become out of the question in a sub 200 quid reel, if these XT7 and other similar polymers are so good and advanced why are they not used on big money reels, I've a feeling it is not the cost of the marital that is the issue, polymers are a lot easier to mould and machine, I'd say the polymers make vast profits due to the production costs, but that does not mean they couldn't use metals and sell for the same money but make less profit. Some of the big reel makers are going to lose a lot of customers if they keep this up basic baitrunners have always been under the 100 quid mark with all of the above features, these last few years they seem to have lowered the features in the cheaper reels just so they can sell a stand out reel for 200 plus and it is only happening in carp fishing, there is a big name company that has not long brought out a very expensive item that is nothing more than moulded plastic and it is getting panned in the reviews the build quality is is on a par with a similar product that costs a lot less.

I'd hold fire, January and February are the burn out months and can end carp fishing hobbies for any angler that is not well aware of what they are getting into, sometimes you see videos or read reports on what others are doing and try the luck, The forum member Spa? seems to have stopped posting he was getting out in the winter and not having much luck. hope he stuck with it or at least dropped the winter sessions. Myself I would go out this time of year but it really would depend on air temps and a change in wind direction.

These days it would seem you have to go up to 200 quid-ish for a high quality Shimano bait runner the ST of mine gave up after the last chunk i had on it, the DLs could go the same way at any time as they are similar reels about the same age.

It's not so much where to start with goo's it's where it ends... owning the whole range can work on days where they won't pick a bait up the rasberry has always worked and seems to be one of the popular ones have you thought about the mainline smart liquid? not tried it myself but been told it is ok.
