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.

You won't catch if you ain't got a pastry selection. 

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 😎

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.

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.

I was thinking the same.  
My choice of weapon in the 80’s was a Daiwa Paul Kerry 12 ft quite tippy teamed it with an Abu 7000c with the level wind removed 

Lee Kerry who is an England international match angler is his son

They are going to be paired with Daiwa 7HT multis, I’m hoping to get them sorted for the autumn when the autumn/winter seas can prove to be a bit much for my Leeda Icon Elite match rods that I usually use. 
 

these rods are usable as they are, but I’d like to replace the eyes and maybe revarnish the blanks, then build them back up. 
 

first thing to do is to get them to a field and put the blanks through their paces, be a shame to do a rebuild and have them implode on the first cast because the blank was naffed.

7HT'S, beautiful reels, what I use myself on my Sandstorm and Sea Hunter.

Unchanged since their release back in the 1990's, although there is now a Mag version.

Nice guy, used to fish around Norfolk and Suffolk quite a bit.
