Same here. Gone from the days of opening my chest freezer and seeing 100kg plus of boilies to now seeing no boilies but 50 peelers vac packed into 5's,  5 packs of English squid, 10 wraps of frozen blacks, 4 packs sandeel,  2 pack mackerel and 4 packs of anchovies.

Not a fan of bluey if I'm honest,  prefer anchovies or sprat.  

I've just had to top mine up, squid, blueys, soft shell crab and black lug.

I'm happy with shelf life boilies in my chosen food bait now.

For years it had to be freezer baits, but after catching as many on decent shelfies, I was happy to switch.

As for sea fishing, I do catch a fair few fish on squid and bluey or squid and crab. The thornbacks do like them!

Rigs are all tied and ready on the pb jelly wire, did alright with the the jelly wire previously so it's my first choice, all sitting in the box having a straightener, pretty much ready to go bar the arrival sandwich I take for afternoon lunch on the first day.

Ohh out tomorrow as a proper non smoker, two weeks since giving up the vapes and what an improvement, the hospital consultant said it was vaping that was causing the issue proper not keen on vaping longterm.

Bought a oxygen level monitor hitting all the right numbers on a walk so I doubt I have any serious damage beyond ageing.

They can be quite aggressive to other swans and water birds.

Earlier this year I actually filmed swans fighting at Redgrave. I later found the slightly smaller male dead in the rushes.

And yes, I look at mates playing American football and think I used to do that. I'm also looking at kids coming through that weren't even born when I was playing. One of my mates I used to play with's son is now in the senior team. I retired from playing at 39, and now the kids who were starting then are now retiring.
