    Hello. To my knowledge not many fisheries are going to like you having their fish that high off the ground. Are you able to get some waders on and get in the water. With a good unhooking mat or retaining sling. This would allow unhooking and photos without any risk to the fish. I'm sure the bailiff/owner would/should adapt a swim to allow you to enter/exit the water safely in this regard. Fair play to you buddy

    Good luck ginger, you seem to have the key to that water, so go with your gut!! Personally I'd try to avoid having a line going through your spot, but it might not make any difference!!

    I believe in karma!! 😎

    2 sort of spinning/vibrating discs. WOW. My chiropractor uses the more expensive one. No massage could compare

    Have you seen a chiropractor mate?? Expensive, but squared me up after years of remedial plastering. Money well spent. Or Thumper. Massage machine, £120, amazing bit of kit

    Haven't cracked off with the spomb. I wrongly thought that's the reason some venues insist on it! 👍

    I've found the large one casts better too. A tight wad I know got the small one & struggled casting any distance, tangle and not opening. The bit of float foam is genius & should really be an integral part of it. It'd just sink otherwise if you ever cracked off. Well worth the quid

    Heat is only good for arthritis according to my chiropractor. I used to think the same, love a bit of deep heat. It's ice packs you need for muscle or ligament damage. Wrapped in cloth so you don't burn yourself!! How wrong does that sound!! 😂 Works a treat

    As above buddy, & with my fishing set up in general I like to keep it simple. No need for all the bits n bobs imo.

    I was shown this knot about 4 years ago. 50lb shock leader. Job done! 😉

    Love that you're soldiering on through the pain. I hope you have someone nearby incase you you hook a beast that you need a hand with. I'd give my right arm to be in the next swim. 😂

    Had a right result! I even said to the girl in the shop, it must be the cheapest item in the shop & then explained how much profit they could make selling them on the bay. 😂

    Life can be cruel mate. I like to say we have poo times , so we can appreciate the good/normal times. I'm on the bank next weekend, end of a 3 year ticket, which has produced a 20 odd stocky, in about 20 nights. So here's hoping for a wet net for both of us!

    Unlucky mate, sounds like a right nightmare.

    Used to have foxes, look a bit dated, so bought ATT'S 5years ago. Still look the 'tigers'. Excellent value for money. Going to change to 4 mag roller on good recommendation.

    As angler's who love the fish & wildlife in general, we must take steps to safeguard the natural balance of nature. It definitely sounds like this predator is a threat that cannot be ignored....

    Blimey, how much is the longer one? I better get a bank loan.

    Good stuff mate. I hope they give you a good fight. Grass carp are awesome looking, but I'd be happy if I only ever caught commons!, lovely dark bars of gold

    Buzz is on your side of the Atlantic my man, his wording & understanding of your products should help. With corn, maize cracked, flaked. If it's hard, boil & soak it buddy!! You can't go wrong, better to be 100% safe, we take fish safety very seriously this side of the pond. What strain of carp are you catching?? What kind of size are you getting??
  24. commonly
    The reason for boiling & soaking for 24hrs is digestion by the fish. Possibly also releasing the natural oils, attractants. There's far more knowlagable members on here to fill in the blanks. Over hear its reffered to as particle mix. Loose feed rather than chumming, which makes me think of Jaws!! 😎 Ive used particles in the past but it tends to attract nuisance species, so tend to just use boilies for my quarry!

    I'm in need of new ones, I've lost both my fox one's, I prefer it to be a fine needle with a hook rather than the latch type. Any preferences??
