commonly

It's Southern Water, so I don't expect they'd give a carp. The old guy running the fishing side, has retired & this wally has taken over the last 2 seasons. I'm in 2 minds, but my heart is saying leave.

I know exactly what you mean. My ticket is a 300 acre res (when full) & is said to hold a few 50+, with the average high 20 early 30. I've only had a 24lb common and PB 36 mirror 8n the past few years since C19. Every time I go somewhere else, I think why am I here it's a puddle. Only problem is the new head bailiff is a complete bar steward. Makes up loads of rules (which are not on my list of rules when I joined i must add), the last 6 visits have resulted in disagreements, on interpretation of his word (& BS rulemaking). This weekend, all set up with my youngest son (9), he comes along & protests he's (my son) not insured to be in the boat?? So have to pack up early and my son is broken hearted after waiting in the car, while I go over and pack up... STRANGE!! The year before was almost no problem with my eldest son (12) , apart from he thought we had 2 people and all set up in 1 boat. Soon put him straight, only extra bed chair and crisis averted. I will not renew next year, which is gutting, but I just can't stand power ego bailiffs (reason I gave up my ticket at Yately Car Park). Currently feeling upset & need of a decent new syndicate with a few beauties to go for. Im loooking forward to exclusive members do in March🤞

Best wishes to all.

I suppose when you put it like that..... I quite fancy Binghams in Thailand for that big carp red letter trip. An Aripima would be very welcome.

I totally agree @framey their not doing it for the fishes benefit. Elphics comes to mind and I remember someone on here saying, in those type of venues, it's like fishing for puddle pigs. Not my bag either

I saw this a few weeks back. He's copied a Koi farmers method of growing them on. I think I also saw that they recently put a 60 in Monument 1. A friend was going to join RH but £1500 is a bit steep

From what I can tell, I think he had caught a rudd on sweetcorn & the size 6 hook was enough to catch it. He swares he caught it on sweetcorn 😆

My nine year old caught this while fishing a small farm pond, several weeks ago😍 whilst with his mate. He won't forget that one. He says it felt stuck so he just pulled harder😉 Size 6 hook in it's mouth.!!!! I have tried a couple of times to recatch it and weigh it, but only seem to get the small ones.

Winter ticket for a local club water, as my eldest son wants to catch a barbel. Magic wand (I'll take any edge for the res) Lock hook size 4 Pva tape Came with a nice thankyou postcard, from Ali.

Yep🫰 & my 9 year old son who has the bug atm. Frost Friday night and rain all day Saturday. Hopefully dry on Sunday for the arduous pack up

Kids - vids Spellchecker🙄 and no edit button anymore?

I came across this the other day. Some of his other vids are really good too. Short n sweet. Not plugging any gimmicks as far as I could tell, which puts me off alot of these youtubers.
