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

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🫣

Has a bait shop🤪

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.

Just seen the price of a new license £49.50 which shocked me,how much was it last year ?
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????

Then again the less interest he has the more chance of getting out myself .
Such a quandary 😂
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😉

JS is the same in real life, and not as nice as his books portray. I won't wash laundry in public,
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.

Same here 😮💨😮💨
Some distance fishing being done ?
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!

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.

Was a horrible experience pushing 2 barrow loads of gear again, but until the track is dry
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.

Can you do what some lorry drivers do i.e. leave the doors of their empty lorries open to show the scum there's nothing worth nicking ? ; or is it not possible to isolate your vans cabs ? .
With the holes drilled out, they are pretty much anyway.
They busted the lock on one & put a massive scratch down the panel.
The van that's been done twice just had stuff moved around.
I'm tempted to sit in the back & wait for them☠️

Im really, really annoyed by petty crime, again.🤮
I've got 2 vans, both have been broken into by drilling holes in the sidedoor panel where the latch is.
First time they took 3 cordless tool around £400 new. Damage to the doors at £1k.
This week, they damaged the latch so couldn't get in?? Estimate £1.5K.
The tools we use are only around £7-800, so not worth insuring due to £500 excess. Same for the damage caused, not worth claiming for!!
Quote for dead locks £500 each van.
So for a these parasites looking for an easy score it's cost me around £3k😭😭😭
Not a happy chappy

I'm OK for that personally, but thank you. Glad to see the site is back up and runnng. Was getting certificate errors for a couple of days, and worrying about missing our social!
Same @dalej2014. Must of been hacked, or whatever it's called nowadays.
@elmoputneyany news on paying for this pal? At least if we're paid up, we know it's a done deal.
