I agree the best place to recover is on the bank.Chilling with the wildlife with a few carp thrown in for exercise lol.

Take it easy though dude.

I don't think of anything whilst on the bank.

First thing I done as soon as I was mobile was arranged this weekend on a lake.

I usually have a couple of books to read when I'm fishing, The Secret Carp and Reel Time ll by Chris Yates are currently in the rucksack, along with my tablet with a couple of downloads and games.

Sky gets a 2mile walk round the lake, and it's a slow walk as I combine it with fish spotting. Strange thing though, often if I see fish on the way around, then get back to my swim, I'll see fish there, so be reluctant to move.

The nature here is amazing, swans, coots, ducks, muntjac and roe deer, along with owls, buzzards and red kites.

I've even seen stoats and grassnakes as well as newts, frogs and toads.

I wouldn't be without my radio 🤣 I quite happily just sit there making rigs, watching the water/rods with the radio going in the background lol.

This session has been a bit nuts, I've been working the spot since I got here, putting out 10 spombs after every fish (had around 18 I think) its been a lot work but very rewarding, but it's enjoyable, kind of got into a bit of a rhythm, got some music going while I bait up lol.

I just wanna point out I'm not being a yobbo belting out music disturbing everyone, I'm on 90 acres of water and hundreds of yards from anyone with a small radio basically following me from the bivvy to where i bait up🤣

I very nearly sold up this year all my gear is on ebay and the fact I have people trying to haggle means I don't want to sell up anymore.

Some of the nonsense they they ask to get the price down is funny, had the same guy message me about alarm receivers numerous times never replied.

Another asked me what my lowest price was, so I put 250 on the asking price, 😆

I spent a lot of yesterday going through back Facebook to 2016 to get back pictures that photobucket has put on hold now that they are charging for hosting. 

I setup the photobucket account around 2006 and for years it was no problem, hosted pictures, used on here and carpforum, and as storage because PC's simply didn't have the memory, or needed replacing every few years.

Then photobucket changed terms and conditions and charged for pictures used on other sites.

I've been through photobucket and filled up tablets and phones with years of pictures.

I now need some of my old pictures for PAC (Pike Anglers club) talks I'm doing this season, first one next month in Lincoln, region 48. Then the joys of transferring them from Android back onto USB stick, which means renaming everything to store them in the order I need them.

Years ago I had loads of images stored to OneDrive and didn't realise they changed theyre pricing so they deleted loads and left with with 5gig
