Swings and roundabouts Andrew, sometimes it feels like it is improving but then gets really painful again. The only good thing now is I generally get a good nights sleep, at times it was waking me up through the night. It seems odd but I used to find it easier to sleep if I was actually laid...

I have had this issue for nearly a year now. I have seen the physio team at work and as painful now as when it first started. I think I have just got accustomed to it and the pain.

Surprised "Somewhere Down The Crazy River" hasn't been mentioned.

There are a lot to listen to, the Scientific Baits ones with Dean Towey are a good starting point.

The Carp Chronicles podcast is worth a listen to anyone contemplating making there own baits/base mixes from scratch. Lee Fletcher, years ago on here, put some base mixes to try that I made up and put to good effect on the Dove at the time. The only thing I do when I make hookbait mixes up is I...

I like the John Timmerman "Drive and Survive" vlogs and any of the Kevin Ellis ones, comes across as a highly likeable chap. Both Carp fishing but interesting stuff.

I have bought CAT since the first one came out and have subscibed to it for a long time so feel I am well placed to say that this month's issue is the worst one since the magazines inception although the downward spiral has been going on for a while now The articles are absolutely awful there...

I have replaced my Scarpa boots with some Diotto hunting boots. After having North Face, Berghaus and the above Scarpa's the new boots are the best I have had. Use them every day for walking the dog's and totally waterproof and comfortable. Only downside is the price but well worth the...

Must have used a bait boat:)

Have you looked at the "Angling Intelligence Airframe Light". Regards Wazzy

Can only echo comments above, absolutely stunning place and pictures. Regards Wazzy

If not fishing any distance a normal stick float will be fine. If you need to cast out any distance a stick float with a lignum base will cast a bit better. If a swim is a bit turbulent a wire stemmed stick can be utilised. If a swim is slow paced I work on the principle of a No 6 shot per...

If using a shotting pattern where you want a bulk shot try substituting the bulk shot for a single pole float olivetti weight, much more streamlined than a few bulk shot and easier to move up and down the line as required!! Regards Wazzy

Just got back after getting absolutely soaked to the skin packing up this morn. Managed three Barbel to 9lb so not bad considering how much time I fished for, had a good afternoon in the pub on Saturday!! Cheers to Chris for organising the weekend and also to the lads who cooked the food...
