As you may be able to guess, I'm in need of a new bedchair. Cheap ones below £100 don't tend to be much good in my limited experience. Being just a lot over weight, I need an 8 leg decent quality bed. But, at £450 + I'm struggling to justify that amount This is just blatant Carp tax & exploitation, as with nearly everything else these days, I feel I'm being ripped off.😏 I'd be happy to pay around £200-250ish, but the choices are very limited. Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions? Ta

New axle support and puncture proof tyre for the carp porter. Got nicked a few year years back with a load of gear. Got a feeling I may need it early March.

I've had a few over the years, but found the Ridgemonkey to be fairly good and seems to charge as well, if not quicker than mains

Superb location Great if you've got the place to yourself

Good luck @jh92 Looks like a mud bath

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.

😎

Big congrats to your son. You must be proud? Is that a filter on the camera? Or, just a massive gut? Happy days catching fish like that

Yep. You look full of Covid there mate. Best place to isolate. I feel a bit odd myself, might have to try that one on the missus😊

I heard shares dropped in Sonik when you stopped mate. I hope you enjoy yourself on the bank. Best of British

Haven't heard that one for ages. Quite right though

Loading the reel is the easy bit. It takes 10 times longer, getting the old stuff off.
