I fired in the last of my old bait today, hopefully something will eat it 😂 My bait boat was getting clogged up by micropellets by the way, would be fine with bigger baits like boilies and proper pellets, still think I might sell it though, I think ii enjoyed fishing more pre bait boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the same job I suppose, also for pulling along the Deeper. I've got a tub of 2 & 4mm pellets, these will be my mesh ball bags, then I've got about 25kg of Aller Aqua 8mm pellets to go with the Manilla n Particles from May.

commonly Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 I often had to see a chiropractor, he used the one of these, or similar. Best £140 I've ever spent, better if you can get the missus or someone to do it, while you lay flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levigsp Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Thought for the day? So sometimes its good to sit back reminisce about past times places etc and let the mind wonder, and the tongue work its own wonder of speech. --God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.” jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a little afternoon nap quite often I get shouted at, punched, kicked, jumped on, scared witless If I dare to try it whilst the family are around though, so annoying I just want a nap lol they reckon I snore or something and the misses has set this precident where its OK to wake me up if I dare to try it 😳 Sometimes after I walk the dogs and they are out though,we settle down and we all have a little nap, bliss 💤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) A mate who I haven't fished with in a while is out with us at weekend... Im doing from Friday night until Su day morning... He's turning up Su day morning... He's the mate who sells up, buys again, sells up, buys again.... This time he's sold all his match/coarse gear and bought all NEW Carp this morning. Sonik Vader X RS 3 Rod n Reel setup, Sonik Landing Net, the New Sonik Vader X 3 Rod alarm set, Sonik Stanz 3 Rod buzz bars n sticks, SKTek rod Holdall n Carryall, Korda Tackle Box with just enough terminal to fill it... He's off his rocker... But will have a good FINAL setup eventually he says... Now wants an AXS Bivvy n all SKTek range to go with it. Then tomorrow he's off for some Sticky Bait, unhooking may, Chair. He has asked to buy his trakker Barrow back, but I've took the bag off n swapped out wheels, to put on my Fox Barrow.

There was 1 lad when I was on my club water, he reckons he owns the lake, rocks up any time of day/night... I went to left side of him, fishing 1 down the left margin, 1 about 4 rods out.... All hell broke loose from him... Why you side of me? (it was a double peg I was in for me n mate) You better not Spod pal? (got mi boat)... Then about an hour in I sent boat out 11 wraps (arrow straight in front of me)... He says your in my swim... I says come here then ill show you... He was actually in mine... Then he puts a post of the club Facebook page kicking off about boats and how they should be banned.... But says the lad who spods 5kg (2kg limit on any session) regardless time of day/night he turns up.
