Think I need to do it more often too, lately some of my fish in last session came from margins, so be set back more next week when I'm next out... Was planned for Saturday night while the Mrs was out, but lads 1st game of season is 10.30 kick off, then his England training at 4pm, so I'll be nice and stay at home, go next weekend inst2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wire brush will probably clean it up, if a wipe doesn't. The drill attached ones would be nice for that . elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily it's not actual hard rust, I've just got some lubricating grease out garage, put it on a cloth and it wiped off, so I've cleaned all the stems on the reels and under the caps... New line will be soaking tomorrow night and put on Monday morning. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got boilie in the freezer which I'll be taking.... but I'm going down the tiger nut approach, not only do the fish like them but if helps combat the crays , which can be a pain at churn !! Taking the floater kit too as I've had a fair few off the top over the years & adjustable zigs . Its one of those lakes that can offer lots of different approaches, during the session. The key is reading it & reacting. Certainly some rewards when you get it right . elmoputney and ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick to my SKS all Purple I think, if I was to upgrade I'd go to the Gizmos, the SKX are too bulky, if I had the chance I'd go for the TXI D's all Purple (£550) Carpbell_ll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about a rod's length out and around 2 metres in diameter. Alan had four good fish from there in one day. Worth a look, mate.

Tom reckon the weeds never been so bad in 20 odd years mate , its preventing me from fishing the right had corner the way I need to . But its more to do with lack of fish this end . Nige & I are constantly around the lake looking for signs that fish are moving back this end but it just isn't happening for us . Hoping for another bite first thing in the morning. welder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
