Elmo have you rolled any today ? I hope you're not trying to jump the queue ??? Im still awaiting my order of SHB's

Woke up at 7 on the dot to a lovely 27lb linear. One of my best trips for a long, long time. Not sure the moon phase had any effect as they were all caught at first light

So, after all that, which SHB's should i try for the social lads?? Sorry to go off topic, but, we'll, you know!

It makes a change for me to start one! Started well yesterday morning, got here around 7, saw a few shows, small bag with a few 10mms and pop up combi rigs put out in that direction. Literally within 5 minutes (whilst I was down the margins putting out a few freebies), my left hand rod had ripped off. I felt it on, felt a good weight, then the dreaded snag. I just kept tension & bump, it came off. Dejected I redid the rod and put the kettle on. Just about to pour & the middle ones off. Good little scrap and lovely little scaled 16lb mirror. Went a bit quiet, sun was up so tried zigs in a few different spots , moving them about every hour or so. Not even a liner! As the sun dropped , I thought I'd switch back to bottom baits as I'd already caught and felt more confident for the night. Nothing through the night and just as I was stirring the left rod was off, happy days. This one felt a bit heavier, then the line went slack, I wound in faster and found the tension to the fish, it tussled a little bit, but was easily netted. As I pulled her out I thought this is a good 30 odd, could be a new pb? Scales topped out at 43 exactly, it is a new pb! Sent a pic to my mate (who's also on here), turns out to be the big girl of the lake. I'm absolutely made up

How has he not been imprached?? Clearly insane. Get him on the grassy Knoll, in a convertible at the very least

Off on a 48 tomorrow, what with the sun out today, im thinking I might have to give them a try. Another minefield of depths and colours etc I'd appreciate anyone's suggestions on what's worked, as im pants at it

Ok. Got it now As long as I receive my order by the 25th, I'll give you a 5 star trust pilot review.

Only fans

I can't see the delivery options on the website???

I just had one, no big surprise! I thought it might be nice to share some valuable, heart warming experiences. I just went with my son to get his first razor. Explaing the do's & dont's was very humbling for me.

The second session is at Waterside next month. Not that I'm looking forward to it (much), but there's been a reminder this week, of what we could end up connecting with🤪 https://www.anglingtimes.co.uk/news/stories/uks-biggest-common-carp-banked/

I might be wrong, but wasn't there talk of them banning leisure fishing?? Urm!

The barbers, vape & phone repair shops, etc., are just a front, where the dodgy cash gets laundered. The war on drugs is a lost cause & successive governments are too stubborn to admit it. Instead of regulating and taxing it. I think its Portugal that tried this years ago. Guess what overall drug misuse dropped significantly. That's a win in my book What's this got to do with the Greens?

Oh dear! Do you read the mail? You mean it's sold there, not produced. So, it's not a mafia/gang making all the profits???🤔

At least it would raise some much needed cash, instead giving that to foreign mafias 😉

Unfortunately, this type of scenario is played out in most sectors, there's nothing Great left in Britain. Apart from us dopes that pay our taxes and live by antiquated laws and processes 😪

That worked wonders for council housing stock and affordable housing. What happened to the cash they raised?? I struggle to see much in the way of reinvestment. As I heard the other day, it's not a cost of living crisis, it's a cost of profits crisis

I don't know enough to get into, nor support, any particular party. The tories have just raped and pillaged our economy, (despite imposing austerity???) Whilst allowing their billionaire buddies to continual increase their profits at our expense. We need a complete clear out and start again with laws and legislation that try to keep up with the technological revolution we are all living in. Renationalise all of our services to non profit organisations and see where we are in a decade or two? Although I'll probably have departed by then. Sorry guys, not trying to get all political & that, but I don't use other media outlets.

& which party is going to da that Dave???

Times like that, I bet you wish you'd kept the boat?

Thinking of going to the BIG ONE at the weekend. Not sure, but thinking about getting 9-10FT Helicals, the 13's are bit too big fo the estate campaign.

Maybe try using a stringer, no problem

Beautiful fish, well earned buddy👍

I did start a thread on this back when I had a Yately ticket (& more than 3 people posted on here🤔), must have been around 2018-19. My take away was scope baits seemed to catch slightly more commons, yellow was favoured, but not a given. Although, my mate did the lake record (Slate grey (along with a few named ones) with a yellow topped Cell snowman.

Targeted ads, I'm quite tempted by the cat!Although I can't see any l8nk on how to get my hands on it??? Weird
