  1. Just mixed up a kilo of JB's bio shellfish, with plum and shrimp, tell ya johns base mixes really are lively got a malt chocolate note coming off the raw mix that will change after cooked and dry. that shrimp he does is good think that's where the maltiness is coming from.
  2. i swear he is trying to mark me with his balls he seems to think i really want his rugby ball toy he will pick them up and put them down where he wants me to go trying to train me, not a chance he has got away with that for long enough. caught him doing it up the field the other day.
  3. got his sulking face on due to the greens winning a local seat, he is worried about meat supplies. that is some bowling ball size head he has, solid.
  4. Fred just cast his vote he is no kennel club bum he wants a right to work,
  5. i find you are better off just being sociable to those you meet when out so long as they haven't got that elite angler vibe about them, there was a bait tester on a other lake that could be a complete annoyance if it didn't go right for him or couldn't get his chosen peg, the remarks would start, very passive aggressive of course, i just get the spom rod out and froth it up some more, with my two kilo of bait for three rods for three days, ain't moving mate., considering i had the two biggest known fish out and others, i'd say my tactics are solid. 😆
  6. at least you have angling mates, i offer to get my mates into angling and they take it as come along sit in the peg and land the odd fish, i don't do it anymore get some tackle the tickets pick your own peg and i will help with the set up and tactics all of a sudden they lose interest, one guy i had to stop going out with, i'd pay for ticket and he would sneak a rod out, everyone knew what he was up to, park lake as well.
  7. money savers and a damn fine reel is the emcast 25a around 80 notes they do a carp version called the castizm? got the qd sppol and a large price tag for pretty much the same reel as the emcast.
  8. wish they would use the same screen name on return, i doubt nige would earn a ban, guy looks like he has never broke a law or rule in his life, besides working on the sabbath lol.
  9. wait till you are in your 50's if i sit down in the afternoon, i'm falling asleep, afternoon naps must have a bit of spanish in me. for the first time ever i'm getting regular lower back pain, stand in the shower too long and your disks start you off singing.
  10. carp porter is tops for storage pretty much breaks down flat and would fit in any car, even if i don't plan on using it like last week i still take it.
  11. oh dear fred really is one of those dogs, out walking him this evening up the woods some jogger comes steaming towards us making noises like a boxer crossed with a runner in his 50s wearing shorts fred has already pinned him as a wrong un as his approaching, so i moved fred to my left so the mountaineer bionic man guy could stay the other side of me, my dog hadn't made a sound or reacted, dopey was staring that hard at my dog he tripped on a tree root and flew to a skidding stop just past us, i turned to see how he ended up and you should of seen the look on his face typical jogger that busy looking for a problem he tripped over a glorified twig, he was desperate to blame the dog, not a chance jelly legs...
  12. Getting much better since his first angling trip went past several dogs today and no barking and baying get him out again next week turning out to be a real nice dog quite chilled even dare i say. the swimming coat pic i reckon he might of learnt something that day?
  13. planning to make my first visit to the new water on wednesday, got a bag of JB's bio shellfish with shrimp extract and plum flavour to mix up and roll also got a bag of wacker catcher peach and pepper glugged up in the freezer.
  14. possibly, it's why i'm getting a choke collar and stake out line not something i want from a dog, thing with these dogs they are always looking to get into trouble, fred can test my patience i don't mind saying, we are starting to get the best from him, admittedly, i have had to discipline the pup out of him the fast way. he has spent two years just doing what he wants as a indoor dog so no wonder he is a bit lively, his recall is getting good but he will never be an off lead dog. he will be the ideal carp dog by June.
  15. Rod n dog shot in one, planning to get to the island, there had been a swan bullying the gease he was watching that, then as i was spombing the swan came over and pecked the staging for a dropped bait, fred flew at it and snapped the catches on his coat, it's just a cheap on from BM, he stopped on the very edge of the platform and saw the swan off. so i popped his harness over his coat and went to sort the spomb rod out, just seen a blue flash fly into the lake and start heading for the island where the swan went. shocked him a bit due to how heavy the coat got. he did make to the island just, the swim back was a struggle and yes i would of went in if need be.
  16. well that was an event, first night out with fred of course he slipped his harness and went for a swim, nearly made it to the island in the middle before i had to use my terrier voice he turned and came back, had his coat on as well real strong and keen swimmer, shocked him a bit when he seen i was still on the bank and not swimming with him. anther dog came in the bivvy he was ok with that. not bad considering there was a group of lads a few pegs down breaking wood and having a fire. just watching them no barking. i had two out a common around 12 lb and slightly bigger mirror.
  17. i usually leave the line in water overnight if i have time and not last minuting it label side up just winding through the butt section and a damp cloth, the gardner hd line went on lovely as did the fox fluro i was surprised by just how well that loaded, you do need to keep the tension when opening the baile arm though that's the same for tiger line for the first few sessions then it really starts to work nice. To be fair it has been under extreme tension on my reel for a few weeks now so it should be ok as in not spring off the reel at the end of the cast. chucked across the field with a 3 oz distance lead it really did sink in and i wound in under the lead in mud tension. be out this week just nipping to a local water for a overnighter.
  18. that's the bit i struggle with it takes a birds eye view and displays a 2d pc game view, i gussee having the deeper in eye view would give a better bearing on the area and how wide the beam angle is.
  19. Meant to say if anyone has a female dog that's suitable as in size match i would happily let a litter of his pups go no charge open to anyone at their arrangement and my convenience, he would make some real friendly pups that are constant fun, any terrier type dog or gun dog would make a great pup, a beagle would be ideal mix for pets. real nice dog with people and dogs just likes to bay at them if they ignore him when he wants to say hello, if they get fiesty back he does his cry bark, not nice to hear if your a poodle mix owner. He got into it with a big bully type dog that was off lead? walked towards him all ready to start the bloke said jokingly he won't want to play with her? his dog went for mine, mine nutted it under the jaw and i pulled him back, the bully didn't fancey comming in a seconed time, thankfully. i had to put his head halter on after that for a bit till he remembered it's better to have it off, not his fault but he was proper fired up.
  20. wow that's a lot to take in are those brown mountain looking things lily stems and roots.
  21. if your looking for a pram hood the new prologic range are very good all round.
  22. Freddie at the farm well pleased with his first time off lead he was keeping track off me, knew he would , still wanted to get to see other dogs though, big fancy afghan hound turned up he was amazed by it proper crufts dog coat was immaculate.
  23. also learnt a bit more about him he may be from a line that was sent to the Irish republic and improved in dog lingo, then the line was brought back to England to be bred on, to what would be the original type Jack or fox terrier, looks like he has a bit of beagle to him but he fits the standard of a non kennel club jack, can't argue with the JRCGB.
  24. getting much better, just took him over the lake i'm going to fish next week no barking and no trying to get the ducks went past a few dogs on his walk, didn't even notice them, going up the farm with him this afternoon let him off lead. getting there he was going after traffic three weeks back.
  25. lol just got the quote back from the dog trainer lady i had in mind, another one that shys away from terriers she is very good and fair play if she can charge that kind of money, plus the mrs found out and it was a big no from her, he is getting better slightly with other dogs, if they are nice with him he is getting ok to say hello. the trainer lady wanted 155 for a consultation lasting 1 hour then it was 200 a month for two 45 min a month 121 sessions. she mainly works with novice owners by the sound of it, hopping she may have a few nifty tricks for having a off lead dog i have seen her out with a pack of dogs all off lead all being brilliant. the farm i had in mind will let me book a field so i can do some off lead stuff 10 for the hour all secure going to take him friday with his live in dog trainer lady.
