Always liked the lakes in question the owner is very private with them so I don't name his lakes, very popular massive waiting list, just outside Wellingborough.  I was surprised the other week a big name angler tried for membership, got turned down permanently that's how non publicity the place is.

The angler that got the recent ban was using a drone, and pictures ended up online the drone would get you banned from any lake?

I could name the lakes and owner but that wouldn't be overstepping the mark a bit.

Drones are tempting especially if you fish a quiet water, but to use one just because you think the lake owner isn't on site is a bit adventurous.

He is there most days doing improvements, the landscaping on those lakes is very well laid out in the summer the place looks amazing really is a hot spot for adders as well.

Don't know who's making these pictures that pop up on FB but I find them hilarious 😂 simple things and that.

The write up for the bonny blue one good, she is opening a venue in Northampton 🤜

Still no fishing to report been busy with the cooling system on the wagon rust treated the pipe work ready for a coat of epoxy resin, I could cut the pipe work out and bypass the rear heating that is feed by the coolant but I hate doing that. Also rust treated the chassis  hit it all with some chassis sealant when done, should sort it, Kia really are the Asian Ford, the car is solid underneath all but one pipe system due to using cheap paint on the pipe, bet kia buy it in painted.

 

Been looking at waggler rods for the canal, keep yous posted  if anything develops.

[Carpbell3]

Ohh the waggler is looking positive, no action as such yet, but I did think it would be a fine morning to go have a looksie at a few spots on the Grand Union canal, I already know where I'm heading nice and local. 

looking at a 10 foot beefed up waggler rod that can handle 8lb line the Drennam red rage is looking good the ten foot float version with a dawia 25 rz 2500 reel.

Size 16 hooks might even need a 4lb hook length for a size 18 hook, going big perch fishing stepped up enough should one of the canal carp take a liking 

[Carpbell3]

See Preston do a rod and reel range with 420 logos and branding Wonder where they nicked that from, I'm tempted to try the waggler rod for the branding alone, plus the fact it's a really nice slim blank, just a touch above what I want to spend, plus the Drennan red rod comes with over sized eyes, not sure on the pellet waggler rods they look a bit clumsy for canal angling and I really do need something that will fish lines up to 8lb bs, trust me most waggler rods will have a problem with line above 5lb, the friction really does add up fast.

[Carpbell3]

My Jalopy is sorted, had to box off the rear pipe work in the end the corrosion spot is in a bracket area of the pipe work so no chance of sealing it, if I can be bothered at some point I will grab a whole new, from the scrap yard, rear pipe system easy to fit that why they corrode completely exposed to the under spray.

Must admit to nearly messing up the engine such an idiot, when I replaced the coolant I refilled the expansion tank thinking it would pump around the car from there, razzed it round the block and nearly overheated the engine, got back and filled the through engine cap, engine was bone dry it gulped it down giving out big burps as the air was forced out, my mobile mechanic would of never trusted me again, if it's an easy job he tells me what needs doing, with a very confident 'you could do that' added here and there.

Just got back from my birthday trip to benidorm, we spent most of the time at the strip, I can't drink like I used to 🤣

Not sure if twitter inspires me to get out for a few days or put you off, one poor chap is struggling with the wind, got the alarms on lowest sensitivity the wind is still being a disturbance.

Rod tips in the water with heavy bobbins would fix that? think he would of been better off bringing them in myself till day light something I do on most sessions if I have a fish or a problem and a rod needs recasting I will wait till that first twilight bit so I can see how the cast went into the water, only reason I do that is, if I cast in the dark, come first light I will be more than tempted to bring that rod in for a recast.

The last thing I'd be doing is recasting at first light as that was a predominant bite  time on the lakes I fished. 

I'd recast in the dark with no issues, as long as I hit the clip and felt that lead down with a thump I'd be happy. Be that wind, rain or what.

I used to do try and avoid casting and still would mainly at first light, but if something is niggling at me that it isn't right, I will now just recast, and I'll spomb at first light too if I need too quite happily, I quite like knowing my spot is bang on and freshly primed for the morning bite time.
