Have you tried a Tufty Torch Kev? I've just got one and it works well.

Yes mate was using it, sometimes works amazingly - sometimes not at all it's a weird one with those.  Firing out an empty spomb works but last resort which is why I went to feeding them floaters instead.

Seems like the gits are just in this swim tbh 🤣

Tufty torch doesn't work on here when the mallards and tufties are in the mood.

The only thing that keeps them away is a laser pointer pen. In daylight you have to line up on them with the laser pen underneath your binoculars and 'ping' them, that gets rid of them.

I had mallards diving over boilies and particles a few weeks ago. I hooked, landed and returned one. The swan last week was not fun either. There were swan wars at the time, and one of the more dominant in the group decided to chase a younger one which tangled up in the line about 2metres from the rod tip, despite the tips being almost touching the water. It took 10minutes to untangle the poxy thing, holding a swan between my legs, while untangling the line from it's wing, head and legs, all the time keeping away from Sky who was on her long lead attached to the bedchair.

This week the swans are keeping across the other side of the lake.

The joys of angling hey, good job we like wildlife or they'd get it at times for sure! 😆👍
