  1. showed the mrs the evening dress pic, don't worry pet ya man still has it lol it's amazing what a throw away line can do, she modeled her new dress for a works xmas do, i called it the wife botherer wear or something like that, she found it ever so funny, pretty much ran through her whole collection since. i'm only messing around she is well aware of that, still i was quite amazed with myself to be honest .
  2. now i'm scared some younger lady i have a laugh with online these past few month, sent me some pics today, shes like a 10 and a half, she only lives a few mile away, i'm going to run out of lines, shes real as well deffo not a cast fish, tell ya she could make a right fool out of me.
  3. you get to see where the weed would be only a light cover or jungle shows up little clear spots you might not find with an older model can tell you how thick silt is or if it's a thin coat over a hard bit. that sort of thing once you get the hang of it.
  4. the latest ones also give the best detail the sand coloured one works best from what i have been told it's not just the deeper nearly every lake including syndicates is mapped out on the deeper site, get the app and you can work wraps out water depth and shelf changes you can sign up with a debit card and cancel anytime, gives you satellite maps so you can see trees and bars. https://maps.fishdeeper.com/en-ww
  5. you had to bring them up, had my eye on a set for a while and the day glow bobbins.
  6. reminds me i need to get the solar a1 stabilizer to match the pod, can't go ruining the visuals by using bungee cord and peg, or a umbrella spike which would work better. https://www.solartackle.co.uk/products/a1-aluminium-accessories/a1-aluminium-bankstick-stabiliser
  7. all about the packaging these days fox box the snag ears up as though they were jewlery.
  8. i'm half tempted to sell the motor i bought two years back, i could easily double my money, i checked we buy any car for a looky look i can get 2k more than i paid for it. only prob i would need a replacement. Bivvy prices are sort of fair depending on what you get, tents are around the same money and the speck is light and flimsy as that's what is best, if you beefed one up with thick material and solid bars the price would be very high. it's the end tackle as well 20 notes yesterday on links and swivels buffer beads that kind of stuff, at least when my ticket starts i won't be needing to buy any bits for the rest of the year. The emcast 25a is a nice reel you can turn them into a quick drag if you like, i have never felt the need though. same for the new mini microns good solid alarm.
  9. she has just had sky glass turn up so keep her busy while i'm out, looks ok i don't really bother with it.
  10. a dodgy wire will bring all the lights on, i had everything go out on a fiesta when driving just cut out, put the puter on it and it started, dodgy earth wire.
  11. modern cars, could just be the computer needs a diagnostics check and cancelling the warning lights if no obvious fault happened when they lite up, still a pain, sounds like a simple reset if they all came on, if you can get it done by a call out guy or buy your own machine you can get them quite cheap these days, you will know for sure if there is a fault, the dealer could just cancel the warning lights and ignore the fault.
  12. no such thing as no fishing on public acces waters, those friends of the park groups can make the suggestion can even put signs up, but you can fish it with a EA rod licence. they tried to end angling on the swanswell in cov, i burned a local councillor on FB he was gutted powerless fool.
  13. The prologic avenger 1 man with top wrap. Very nice bit of kit the bars are a nice shape with plenty of room in the socket so frame wrestling is not a problem, all the zips tape and stitching look solid the tape on the seems is a nice green colour.
  14. it's down to the spring rush, lost my bag the other day had the mrs rolling tobacco in and my gregs lunch left on the back of a shopping trolly, that got handed in, then i lost my phone this morning dropped it outside go out doors first thing, that also got handed in. Poor bloke in tesco today at counter asking after his wallet, that hadn't been handed in, he was angry. even had the mrs bark at me earlier for rushing, got things to do love.
  15. Tell ya i'm like that woman who can never make her mind up in Open all Hours, stopped at a shop today to grab a mini swinger they were doing a cheaper price than online, had a look at a pile of boxed bivvies they had all two man prologics, so i had a rummage through the boxes, only went and found a prologic avenger for less than 170 on sale, needles to say i buried it under a load of boxes and will call back tomozz, if that is gone i will get the used sonik two rib for 100 used once, if that is a no go i will get the advants for 150, just hope the prologic is there in the morning, that's a nice bivvy with the skull wrap just what i wanted but not willing to go above 200 notes, for anything other than a pioneer, spanking new trakker 100 brolly in litchfield for 200 still got all the tags on.
  16. Bags lol i got two tfg barrow bags been trying to shift on gumtree before i get the side bags, had no takers yet, think i will just use the smaller one and sack the side bags for now, not bothered with any of the pals they sometimes come up on the tree, found a nice bivvy that's local could save me a nifty 50, if i lived down south, there is a near spanking new aqua pioneer 100 with a few extras for 300, very tempted to just spend up and get it delivered.
  17. just getting a bait order sorted, going to hold off rolling the JB for now and just get out for next week hopefully, was going to give the mad cow a go but Whacker stop doing them in feb, so i'm going for their peach and pepper in the 5 k deal 2 k pellets and a liquid plus pop ups , also get some matching P&P wafters they are doing them in a cork dust said to be a proper wafter and a litre of their beta stim liquid. other than that i have some JB kit the bio fish and plum his tm1 and the cream, that's more for the summer though i plan on doing my own by then.
  18. i'm on pre pay handy can just top up on my phone.
  19. I'm happy with my mk2, the front bag is ok and the rear drop in is real nice would like to get the side bags i use the rod bar as well, set of basic rear wheels would be nice but not urgent. and the fatter front wheel would be better than the skinny one.
  20. Can't take her anywhere, she was having a look at the puffa jackets and liked the ridgemonkey one i said get one if you like, nah, they only do them in green makes you look like a hand grenade.🤣 first time she has been a tackle shop in years, couldn't get over how much carp gear there was these days and the prices, 999.99 for the camo tempest in old 1970's sofa material, i thought they would be a real nice peach skin feel, floral sofa coverings sprang to mind.
  21. just back from AD, had a look at what bivvys they have set up, tell ya what i'm getting the advants peak with vents for 140, nice bit of kit don't see any point in lasing out big bucks for the same in a known name, i wasn't impressed by the pricey ones way too much money for what they are. forgot to add, i think a lot of anglers are telling themselves porkies so glad i went and checked out these high grade fabrics just didn't feel right, think the fox frontier was best the trakker brolly is well over priced and just the same nylon as the basic stuff, i was well impressed by the advanta double skin just a bit out my price range, they also had the protector set up for 112.00 it was a good buy just no vents, the peak one has vents and is around the 150.00 price.
  22. like it, that is what carp angling is, you know something is banned and you know why it is banned but because of that knowledge you can get away with it and feel confident using it. Be it a bait or bit of tackle, i have never used peanuts and i don't think they are banned on most of the waters i fish, knowing my luck i would have some whipper snapper half hanging out my bait bucket whinging like an uber bailiff.
  23. We need the peanut master back that man could fill pages on angling with peanuts, alright guy as well put me on the nene valley i very nearly joined castle ashby this year.
