How comes you dont think after years of dropped leads on a well known spot would feel like a gravel?

Interesting topic. I suggested years ago, a lot of these spots that everyone thinks are gravel, are most likely several hundred leads, from the time when it was fashionable to drop them. I thought the use of lead shot was banned in the 90's, why wasn't it the same for actual leads?? I'm sure alternatives could found, but would have an adverse effect on the environment at some point in manufacturing. When you consider the amount of pollution in our water ways and the coast, using a stone instead of a lead isn't really going to make a lot of difference.

Ordered, thanks buddy. Mine are only 6-8" so just went for the small ones. 2k. More expensive than my boilies

A few hours with my youngest boy this afternoon, resulted in a little common and few grass carp to 15lb. Happy days

Just popped to another little lake nearby. My son had a nice little common, before we got washed out. Stalking around is great fun, love it

Ive got permission to show pictures of these ones

So, i just brought 5 young ones for my sons pond. Im guessing that's me signed up for a lot more pond maintenance? @yonny would you be so kind as to send me a link for decent feed? Its interesting watching them settling in with the goldfish

So the bread paid off. My eldest son & I, had a few fish off the top. Great fun. At one point it was like a jacuzzi in front of us. Biggest was about an 8lb common. No pics as not permitted I'm afraid. Also learnt that this venue, might not be the one for serious overnighters, due to the amount of little ones.

6 crusty rolls and a bloomer. Love a bit of surface fishing. First day of new season on club waters. So going to have a look about at the same time🤞

I popped into a mates lake, thinking most of the carp were dead, only to find around 20 mid doubles all cruising around, occasionally breaking the surface and splashing their tales about. If I didn't know better, I'd have said they looked to be getting ready for it. We have had a fairly warm spring so far

Why are we the only country in the world to have privatised our water supply??? https://www.windrushwasp.org/single-post/referendum-for-water-please-sign Thanks in advance for giving a ....

Well I decided not to rejoin, then the owner, in all his wisdom decided to close the season, a month early??? Im not too keen on day ticket waters. So, without anywhere to fish until the estate opens in mid June, I've signed up to a local angling club for £90 + a small joining fee. There's a few small local lakes with some reasonable size fish to go for. My boys are welcome which is important and no stupid rules, which is refreshing. A new chapter for me, trying out the club scene.

What's the day???

What.????? Did you mean, pay us back Boris?

Likewise, syndicate ticket £650, been for 5 x 48hrs. Probably 1 more before season end of April. Estate ticket £190 EA season closure, but went for 4 x 48hrs. I'm not renewing the syndicate, the estate is a no brainer. With end tackle, bait and grub it's still not a cheap hobby
