Carpbell3 Posted May 13 Report Posted May 13 Got some Facebook market place bits lined up, need a chair for day sessions my carp chair is one that sits on the bed so not ideal, prices new are a bit much, so found a wyhwood one for 25, there is that much used tackle available I would only buy new for the delicate stuff.

Carpbell3 Posted May 13 Report Posted May 13 Saying that I did order a small unhooking mat at the same time I ordered the rods, just the roll up one from drennan perfect for what I want, I'm not taking my carp mat to sort perch and bream out. kevtaylor and jules007 2 Quote

Expand This is what I've realised 👍 Must be an age thing coz it seems that every year I forget what my main meals were on the bank in the previous years, suddenly I haven't got a clue what to take. Going late tonight and it's steak, new potatoes and peas Friday night, then back home Saturday and planning the meals for a 2 night social at Bluebell Sun - Weds. Weathers looking good for the following weekend down the syndi again, westerlies and rain - fingers and toes crossed for that one, gonna be there Thurs night for first dibs on swims for the long weekend 😎 elmoputney, jh92 and commonly 3 Quote

Carpbell3 Posted Tuesday at 12:48 Report Posted Tuesday at 12:48 Pint of reds and a two rod licence the EA definitely visit these waters regularly so I did remember to get one before fishing this time, had them at Barston a few years back they cleaned up even did one guy that was just setting up, didn't let him off either. I completely forgot one year seen them coming and quickly bought one online, they just went by to do some maintenance checks on the near by river there is a half hour delay from time of purchase to a live licence so bit lucky there.

ouchthathurt Posted Tuesday at 13:50 Report Posted Tuesday at 13:50 Bit of a boot sale find, a Team Daiwa Amphorous Whisker 12ft 9 beach caster and a Daiwa Amphorous 12ft 2 beach caster for £20 the pair. they need to be given a thrash with a few leads to check the blank is sound and so long as they are, they will be getting a strip down and basic rebuild at some point to make them usable. salokcinnodrog, commonly, B B and 1 other 4 Quote
