Looked at these a few times, people slate Westlake & NGT but I personally thinknits how you take care of them.

Before I sold all my Gear, I had the Top  Names - Shimano, Daiwa, Sonik, Korda....etc etc.

But lately I've started regrouping all my Gear and is Mainly NGT.

NGT - 2x 6ft Profiler Rods, 2x Profiler Reels, 2Rod Holdall, Backpack, Banksticks, landing net...shelter is Angling Intelligence, Chair n Matt are Sonik.

Only have 1 Alarm at moment, but now I'm now shopping for Alarms n Reciever a 2 Rod Pod & some Line.

Deffo worth the £80 for a day shelter, 5000HH, straight forward and quick(ish) setup 👍👍

Thought i'd fill in the blanks from a couple of recent syndi trips. 

Back out tonight for another go, buzzing 🙏💪

Looks nice there Kev, enjoy!

Another 3 night blank, new swim, position seemed good for traffic, only one stuck it's head out the whole trip.  Did hours of swim improvements/clearance for no reward, out again Thursday night for another go - same conditions 🤦‍♂️

Still nice view lol

New swim, more work done, a fish but overall frustrating 48hrs.  The quicker they spawn the better imo.

When I set up on Monday it was absolutely scorching, but was able to get positioned in as much shade as possible.

Well back from the water, and positioned so we only get the full sun from 4 until 8pm.

 

I say well back from the water, when the lake is full, this spot is actually underwater.

Good grief , Nick , did you drag that humungus pile of weed out of the lake ? .

How did you manage with the heat of Monday , and Tuesday ? .

I should be fishing tomorrow in the relative cool , but to fish in the deepest part of the lake , or the shallows ?

Right under the trees it's been bearable, except between 4 and 8.

Sky has been swimming every day as we walk around to keep cool.

I'm up in the shallows, but until this morning I hadn't seen a thing. The deep end is wall to wall with thick weed and is unfishable.

The weed is what had drifted, so I was able to net it out. It left me enough room to have the rods over the top.
