Since when is it acceptable for a delivery driver to be hashing up turning around and having to listen to the reverse beeping for over 5 minutes, at 7.40 on a Sunday morning?? When I had had enough and went to see why, I was told foff!! I then felt the need to find out who he worked for and got offered out!! Even a guy I know in the next street down came and asked what was going on Now I not religious but these deliveries are hardly essential at that time on the weekend. Team know how! Know how to make it impossible to send a complaint. I'm registered to some American website and have warned loyalty points just to send them my complaint 🙄🤯

I had a little play the other weekend. No fish, but it was slow due to poor water quality. Something that looks so simple is actually tricky to get right. I had to tie a few before I was happy to put it out. What knot do you use to tie the hook carpepecheur? I don't often use Palomar knots, and didn't like the way it presented, so ended up with a queen blood knot. I used a wafter as referenced above, but found it moved along the hooklink upon return. So tied a figure of eight knot to help keep it in position. I will persevere with it on one rod next time out. (whenever that may be🙄)

From your responses, it would appear that you are untying the loops, Y? I use your described method and have never had any trouble. I do use 50lb leader, but I guess thinner braid would slip. Have you tried doubling (figure of 8) the smaller loop? It shouldn't slip then. I have that smaller loop at about 30-40mm as a tag.

Well I managed a quick overnighter at an estate lake. My van wasn't fixed in time😭 Water quality was really bad, they canceled the swimming of a triathlon there. My mate had a pasty and I had a bin lid. Gutted to miss the opportunity of 3 nights at the Res.

Not often the national team do that well, so probably worth the sacrifice mate.

I've got the jrc 2 man, can get a bit tight for space with 2 bed chairs though. Good quality. Had it 7years,bit of fabsil treatment and it has served me well so far

Get on that mate, they'll be looking for food in an hour or two

Or load the spare spool with the other reel. One of mine does it, as above it sorts itself out with use to a degree

I have to say it looks to good to be true. The video however perfectly illustrated your point (excuse unintended pun). I too will have a try, nice one carpepecheur. Perhaps, you could think of a snappier name, if you plan on going mainstream with it though😉

My mates one finally went last trip, he's had it about 5 years, so lasted well. My mk2 wheel is 8 years old, never had a puncture but does need pumping up every now and then. As before, makes getting all your kit to the bank a lot more comfortable. Enjoy mate

The big problem I noticed with the fat boy is the big chunky wheel, great on nice flat ground. Not so much on uneven paths, I have had a few good laughs watching my mate tip over and giving up, then carrying all his gear. He even did it at linear first time out and the ground wasn't too bad. Imo change it for the skinny puncture proof wheel and you'll have a grwat barrow that can go anywhere.

Few new nights on the bank. No fish, bit gutted but the 3 other anglers blanked too, so not too beaten about it. Enjoyed the trip. Amazing pics from drone out last night

I'd like the flat at the end there, just imagine fishing out your front room window 🤯

I had to go and have a go above nearby reservoir. No fish sightings, but good to use it properly for the first time

Wow, incredible the evolution. Nice pad, something looks up with your pond water though. I'm not so sure the carp will like all that chlorine!! You seem to be very good at tinkering and editing, hat off to you

Nice part of the world. Amazing view

I'm learning with the mini 2, it's an amazing piece of technology. Changes the perspective of things in an instant. I do see how in the wrong hands invasion of privacy could be an issue.

Yep. Definitely a lot of fun 👍 It's an amazing piece of kit, camera is impressive and the tech it uses for stability etc is well worth the price. Can't wait to see the reservoir in all its splendor and where the fish are 🤞

Finally got the confidence to buy it. Just need to learn how to use it now🤔

Avoid Lea it has KHV. Farlows is better, gets busy though. Same for most day ticket waters, so I've heard. Yately has a day ticket water, I think you can get ticket from the tackle shop.

Interesting carpepacheur, thanks. The one I'm looking at has a return to home feature, which I'm hoping will avoid the need to land on water. The waves on the reservoir would soon drown the electrics, I'm sure. The water is crystal clear, so I am hoping that I will be able to locate my quarry. Good point about lenses

Thanks. I've been looking at the mini 2. Is it worth getting the fly more package? Noted about licence etc. The mini is under 250g but need it for commercial use. The venue is private and no ban as to my knowledge, I'll try to stay under the radar as it were👍
