Thought of the Day pt.2

Recommended Posts

LOL, who knew i had a book in me just banged out three chapters of a comedy novel i keep threatening to write, i was pleasantly shocked by my proof readers reaction, they were wetting themselves laughing, i'm just working on a hooker character i would love to add, based on a real person, proper wild woman, i know of guys that have been to see her and upon getting in and seeing the state they pay up and leave she really is nasty but so are the blokes that call in, she don't wash or shower for weeks at a time, it is what she offers saddleless cheap as chips. 

It's a mix of different characters i have meet over the years, going back to when i was picture selling for the travelers to my time at the hostel as a amuture social worker, i could fill a book with the goings on in that place. 

It has murders, sex, drugs, all set in rural england the book is aimed at female readers , all names have been slightly changed to protect my pitiful bank balance, might finish it as a short and publish as a free to read on-line book, sod it if shelly can do it so can I, yes there is carp angling in it too but i'm hoping it will be more a character non anglers could understand without too much actual angling background. we will see.  

So far it reads like a neive lad from the shires visiting the modern world, with a solid theme with which i can add different highly exaggerated characters.  

Still nothing from Dogs trust it's the last time i try if i don't get ben and sam i'v been offered a Jack x merle collie pup be ready mid jan. 😎

When using a helicopter rig, is this OK to do...?  but not with maggots... Chops, Full, pellets....

Using the Korda Tubing Heli Safe kit, but not dropping the lead. 

Reckon the hook would get caught in bag? or would it be OK for close in work? 

 

 

The one on the left I would change the lead for a inline and tie the leader to a big eye swivel pulling it back into the lead then use a pva mesh attaching it to the eye of the swivel nicking the hook bait carefully in the mesh. I like the ESP pva mesh seems to have a tighter weave helps slowdown the maggots from escaping. No problem casting 22 wraps. The one on the right just put a pva nugget on around the hook… I would defo have some maggots above tbe pop ups tho … sorry for the long winded reply but the Rum is kicking in  🥃

Yes happy new year to you all hope its a good one. 

I popped the question this morning, and my wife from del monte she said yes

Now I am frantically scrambling round defrosting bait and charging stuff up, for a cheeky overnight one, it's going to be a slight race against the darkness but will be so nice to be out again I can't wait, woooooooooooohoooooooo

Happy New year to everyone and I hope it's a good one for everyone and you're family's. 

I certainly hope me and my family have a better one, The end of 2021 wasn't a good one for me and mine, I've been quiet about it but my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in September, so the fight goes on. Everything is looking good though. So here's to a good one for us all and our families. 👍

Sad to hear that mate, but I hope it all goes well for you this year and she gets the all clear, just remember it's always good to talk about things, even if you don't think you are struggling, it always helps to spread the load, 

All the best 

Elmo

Got my car loaded, just ready to leave, flipping car won't start, 😭😭😭😭😭

This is still 2021 isn't it? 

Thanks for the reminder, I have to go plug in my block heater for a few hours if I want to go anywhere today; it's -35 this morning.  Naturally, if you need a new battery every place is closed for New Year's....  Happy New Year everyone!
