  1. Good shout Chill I'm sure we have friends on the forum that know the guys there. I'd enjoy a trip there for sure
  2. I gave up pre pandemic. If we haven't heard by the weekend, may I suggest we find an alternative??
  3. At least the shop wasn't affected... I thought it was shut down for good
  4. Nice one Kev. What a session, I bet you're grinning from ear to ear?? Well done fella
  5. Where does the time go??? I go through the diary with her indoors and book fishing weekends for the next few months. If I didn't, I wouldn't get out either.
  6. New leisure battery for the motor. Turns out it was that was nackered, not the motor. Fuming!
  7. I'm told it's 2 miles from sailing club to the out of bounds swim.
  8. New motor turned up today. A bit gutted I couldn't get the 68lb thrust. Seemingly out of stock everywhere (typical!) Battery connections aren't great on their battery box
  9. 55lb thrust Bison electric outboard motor,with Bison 12v battery unit. Previous one gave up after just 2 years of occasional use., out of warranty 😔
  10. Nope! It would be nice to get it confirmed and paid for. Perhaps the new Carp.com shop would provide a few prizes for top rod & biggest fish🫣
  11. Air bnb. West Wellow. I can't remember the name of the farm. You can only put 2 rods out really,it's very narrow channel, with day ticket fishing on the other side of the channel. It's OK for a run, nothing massive in there, go to 30lb odd. There's another one that has a bait shop nearby. Again I can't remember the name. But looked OK.
  12. I think for 3 rods it was around £40 Nice to see another one of the government agencies are helping out in the cost of living crisis????
  13. That's tough. I always invite my boys, but they're just not interested. When they do, it's only for an hour and then they get bored?? I hope when they get a bit older they will come, but the alone time is also important. So, I wouldn't take them every time😉
  14. Trying out my new rods for the first time. They're a lot stiffer than what I'm used to, but definitely getting more distance. 🤞
  15. Don't know him. Seen a video he did on my syndicate, before i joined, as it was the only thing i could findonline about the place.. Very average. He got banned the year after I joined, so he must be a wally, as the team there are very easy going. That said, they haven't let other well known celeb anglers join, since. So, I guess they don't want that type of publicity.
  16. Bring back Carpmachine!!! Always great content and good for a laugh
  17. Do we get members discount???😘
  18. All packed and ready for action.... In June😭
  19. Well chuffed with my new free-spirit Helicals. May have to nip down the water tomorrow for a few casts.
  20. Yes mate, my only ticket is the reservoir. More often than not I don't use the boat once I'm in the swim, so nice to put one or two at distance. At 100 yds it's around 8-10ft, 120-40 yds it 12 -16 ft. I do need to get some pit reels, but everything seems to be breaking for me too. Just had to get a loan for a new motor myself. Painful!
  21. Good luck gents. Wishing I was fishing😭 Not out until first weekend of June. On the the upside, finally collected my free spirit Helical 13 ft rods today. They look very nice for the money, super lightweight. I'll set up my reels and take a pic tomorrow.
  22. The things we do in search of the next nice carp. The reservoir I fish is full of water atm, we cant launch from the sailing club, so have to barrow several loads through loads of mud to get to the boats. My average time from the load up until being all set up is around 5 hours??? Crazy. Considering it's only 30 minutes away from home. Enjoy and good luck mate.
