Best of luck.

Will it be ok to take live bait over ?

Thanks mate 👍 

Your not supposed to take any bait since we left the EU .... but from what I understand its just something there not policing. Might hide the worms behind most of the kit though 

Every time I've been to France fishing I've been pulled out of the line & searched.... not that i look dodgy or anything

Iv always been lucky but on one of the trips over we had a 3 van convoy and the middle van got pulled but they never looked in the sack of halibut pellets, not that there was anything to find of course. 😇

Hows the forecast looking for your trip ?

I can see up to Tuesday next week & looking a little milder than its been ... pressure also starts dropping Monday afternoon & moon phases are is good as it gets all week , not seen any catch reports this week the lads the week before had two fish out all week between 4 of them (1st openingweek ).  There's only two of us going so plenty of options to move etc the lakes 6 acres.  Forest view carp lake near limoges,  first time going to this particular venue so going blind so to speak .

Down to half price in the March Sale ?...was looking at getting lad 1 for the side of his rod bag.

It's nice and light compared to what I already use. The clip that holds the net up is rubbish, doesn't hold it up at all just falls off as soon as I try clipping it in, i will probably remove the ring attached off the bottom of the net, looks like a guaranteed snag on the reservoir I fish 😂

The weigh sling is nice and so are the clothes 👌

You get the CX Landings Net or CX Rover ? 

He'd need the CX Rover, with 2 piece handle, as he uses a small rod bag for his 6ft rods. 

Something that will definitely need, the only he haven't got to finish off his setup.

I'm looking for a new net does anyone know if the sonik Vader net or cx net has a standard 3/8 handle thread for the block or is it one of those stuck on spreader blocks?

The Sonik RS landing net has a removal spreader block as you can buy a new 1 seperate for them.

Also just seen you can get the CX speader block separately too, just trying look for more info....

The Vader X 3 6 9 long reach handle has a 3/8 thread, so you would have thought Sonik would continue that ?

Looking for a sleeping bag for little en, at moment using a Packaway Vango 2 season. (Blue 1)

I'm after an actual bedchair bag that can be left on, but a decent 1 I can find is the Cygnet 3 season 1, everywhere local sold out (cant buy online, cash only).

Even decent 2nd hand bags now going for near RRP.

Discovery cx landing net mate, the net handle doesn't split 👍 my only gripe with it is the clip that holds the net up, but to be fair I've got this far with out using one so isn't really an issue 😂

I've got ngt 2 piece handle I bought years ago I use it with my 9ft rod set. Even though its done by ngt the quality of it is solid 👍

The Westlake bed is practically brand new he's got now, and a TFgear King pillow straps too it (like new), so really after a Sleeping Bag ...

2 new rods...  one a glass/ cane mix called a Hardy Mitre Zephyr float rod, glass butt and cane middle and tip

And a short little spinning/stalking rod of 7' bar an inch, I had a lighter tip made so I can use it for smaller fish too as it was a tad heavy

Blue , are you in competition with Highy to see who can buy the most kit ? .

Not that I'm jealous .

They were freebies Andy... well sort of... A chap on another forum was after a set of straps to carry a chair rucksack stylee... I had a set I wasn't using any more, and as a thankyou he let me have the two rods... I had them rebuilt and they came home t'other day... I try not to buy any more rods... too expensive...🤣🤣

Gulp, just had to get a new motor pure out the blue had 400 to my name found a sedona all the right paperwork 1600, solid old school mate lent me a grand lol now that's what I call a friend.
