From what i understand, Carp will pick up most food items, out of curiosity as much as anything else. It's getting said food item in the right spot that matters, more than what it is. I have heard a few Polish guys using potato and uncooked pasta. I've not tried that myself, peperami is as adventurous as I've gone

Gardener GT HD in 15lb will be perfect for all the conditions you've described. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264062311611?chn=ps&_ul=GB&var=563603293364&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=563603293364_264062311611&targetid=1405282543879&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006689&poi=&campaignid=17218284410&mkgroupid=142217514411&rlsatarget=pla-1405282543879&abcId=9300867&merchantid=113624833&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA_tuuBhAUEiwAvxkgTugjLYm0znfcO12PDhFrAYqSTngOGy0HcFUyzdBXQm_foknpEM9A9hoCU9IQAvD_BwE

He's sold all his gear and closed his account on here mate. Sad 😔

Korda size 6 spinner hooks (barbless!)rules are Booneys 😫) CC Moore live system bucket and frozen snails. Nash worm liquid Reading up on the place, naturals seem to do more bites than boilies, so I'm going out my comfort zone a bit

I thought you had a new campaign on a park lake? Nice that everyone is being supportive and we all hope you'll stay tuned. Good luck fella

WTF everything OK matey?

Excuse my Welsh. Free for a March session mate (in english)🤪

Free infarct mate?

I only ever fish boilies, now. Anything else will catch bream (and lots of them) on the reservoir I fish, so it's a no brainer, for my style if fishing.

Has no one had a fish yet this year?? A good friend of mine had his new pb and 2 other very nice fish yesterday.44 He has been putting in the effort and quite a bit of bait for the last few months. He's made up as you can see

All the very best guys. I hope you all have have a healthy, enjoyable year ahead.🍻

Get well soon gents. Have u tested for Covid?? I know a few people say they have had it recently (confirmed with tests). '6 week cold' is a term I hear a bit, but I've had it on and off for well over 6 weeks. I wake up all full of snot, then around 3-5pm I start loosing my voice???

Prezzies- new sleep system, new essentials camo bag and some decent lined wellies. Just need a pass to get and use them🤞

Best wishes to one and all 👍

It's very quiet??? No one got any rod shots? I'm getting withdrawals 😫

Same. Hoping to get out between Xmas and New year 🤞 Sometimes wish I was single, so I could go every week😁

OK lads, cash is going to be tighter this Xmas than ever before (thanks to the clowns that run our country), but with a few months notice, I'd like to arrange another social. It was great to put names to faces a few months ago. I'm sure the others that attended would agree??? So, who's in? Numbers will dictate the venue, but as before we are fairly spoilt for choice & open to suggestions......?

Going off topic slightly, is life too expensive??? My daughter is coming to stay before Xmas. There's a nearby farm that puts on a good event at holiday times. So for 4 adults 4 kids to attend for meet santa etc. £339??? Blimey, I'll try another lass well known farm up the road £209??? I earn reasonable money and there's no way I'd pay that kind of money to get in. Crazy thing is, I looked at availability and both venues were near enough fully booked??? This country and the cost of living is out of control. I can't see how anything will change. The rich get richer and the poor can be left to rot.... Time for a major change I feel??

Happy birthday mate. Welcome to the 'over the hill' club. Can't help you with France fishing I'm afraid. Have a good one

Yeah, bivvies a lot further back the normal, as it's being filled up. I had to bring the rods back about 30 ft in 48 hrs. It's very, very muddy. I can get all my kit in that boat for the 15 minute journey to the swim. This weekend was the toughest yet

Had a couple of nights on the res. No fish, again. 🥺 Always nice to get out, even when the bivvy decided it was going to leave without me, a few times in the wind this morning😳

Forgot to say,ideally want to fish for 5-7 nights

So paid over a bag for my 12 year old son and myself for 3 days at the Belgian grand prix end of July next year. Bucket list job 50th. I'm well excited as its 2 birds, 1 stone. Carp fishing abroad for the first time and visiting a gp weekend that has always produced some great racing. I have 2 angling mate's saying they're up for it. We're torn between trekking up and down the canals (TBH sounds like too much hard work) for 4 of us to get swims. Or trying to get a decent lake with at least a shower and a few commons to 40+. I'm not expecting much as this thread has been dead for over 6 years. But I'd appreciate any thoughts or recommendations from anyone that's been over there. Thanks in advance

Agreed. I had marker rod, top ring came out within weeks. Had 3 x XTR's 3.25 tc. All broke within 8 years.
