muftyboy Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Starting to regret it now. Just can't get comfy and the mozzies are nothing like I've ever seen before. I actually thought it was raining but it was the mozzies bouncing off the top of the brolly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts please... It certainly doesn't look good for us if the general public are looking in and something needs to be said/done about it. As you've said any decent sized fish should be weighed instantly and returned. I think the biggest fish i ever put in a keepnet was a 5lb tench and that was donkeys years ago, I dislike the sacking of carp and only do it to get camera ready/ wait for someone to do my pics but then it's only for minimal time. The only peace of mind I get is, i know that I and most other carp anglers do their best to treat the carp with a lot more respect than the match boys. The majority of us carry spray's / ointments etc to put on hook holds/ cuts etc and those that don't shouldn't be allowed onto a lake in my opinion and if they are the fishery / bailiffs need to look at themselves. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillfactor Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Got to strip 1000 yards of new line , which I put on the new reels the other day . I should of listened to myself & just binned the bulk spool as a bad batch . Thought a good stretch over the field would sort it out but it hasn't lol . spr1985 and greekskii 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spr1985 Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I’ve heard a drill with an old spool or something like a spool does the job nice and quick 😁 never tried it myself though (read no responsibility implied or taken) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to agree with Cloud9 about the life jacket. Safety first bud, regardless of what others do. The owner should be telling them the same...…. It could be game over in a matter of seconds.
