New toy. Get right under those snags 🎣🤞😉

I'm still here, on the Back row of the Bus....

Funnily enough one of the biggest fish in our syndicate came out on maggots last season at her heaviest ever weight, although she was also caught just after spawning twice on boilies.
I had results over my collection of collected snails bloodworm, worms, molehill soil and particles with boilies.
 
 

I knew he had sold it all but didn’t realise he had actually closed his account yet 

Come on Highy we know your looking, help a fellow Sonik lover out…..and we missing you mate. 
 

Another river shot.
 

I hope it doesn't go but I do understand that a Site like this needs traffic or sales to survive.
I was in the market for some reels a while back and got each one £44 cheaper somewhere else but it wasn't in stock anyway. I just had a look at the shop and on the bait page, the first 24 items on the page are out of stock! Unfortunately I couldn't be bothered to search any further, a classic case of not expecting to find anything and going somewhere else.
Unfortunately the Site does seem to suffer from Safety Certificate  issues and it has been down for at least a week about 3 times in the last 6 months at my reckoning.
I prefer this Site as it is smaller and friendlier.
I think that a subscription model would kill it (isn't everything on the net free?) but it might stop the spam messages that seem to pop up regularly but take an age to get taken down.
This isn't a pop at Nick or anyone but a genuine request for idea's that would secure the future of the Site. Any suggestions?

Is that tumbleweed??
Seems as though there's only a handful of survivors left after the apocalypse? 
What's going on mods???
Strange the shop remains online, without any stock??
Personally, I can't see the shop and forum working out, Nice try, but sort the forum out please? The other one is pants
 
 

Yes, every now and then there's... wait for it... something fishy going on!

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

I did, i had 2 parknlakes planned....had it all planned, even told the wife, bought all the bait for it and everything.
My lad has his little setup, 1 carp rod and 1 float rod, Terminal n bait (all in 2 bags) so if need the itch, I can use his, but it been on the cards for a while now.

In my past Iv had a couple of “ the inevitable has happened moments “
In my case it was a relationship problem and the other was when I was fostering… but came back to fishing which if I’m honest keeps me sane  
Keep the account open you got mates on here and you can always message us …and your posts were always good 👍
As for the fishing gear you can replace it 6 months or a year down the line the lakes will always be there and the fish will have got bigger ..still got to catch them tho

WTF everything OK matey?

Just brought a new Steve Neville buzzer to replace a buzzer with a cracked case, it arrived a few days ago - but didn’t work! I took the back off and saw that one of the contacts hadn’t been soldered! To be fair, the company I brought it off replaced it immediately, no questions asked - it’s a manufacturing fault that they couldn’t foresee so can’t blame them really, my new, er, new alarm should be here tomorrow. 
 
why didn’t I just not send the alarm off for a replacement case? Good question! I’ll do that too… £30 to repair. I’ve also got a neville that drains the battery in under an hour, it must be shorting out somewhere, £20 to fix that. Speculate £50 and I’ll have 5 good as new Neville alarms.

I've been buying some bits mainly ESP and mainly end tackle chod bits 
And some korda chod krimps and J precision chod hooks
