You can get day tickets from Ian Ashton the bailiff, look for him on FB and PayPal the money across. Not sure about day tickets on the bank but the tackle shop is the best bet . Heard it’s not fishing well at the moment !

Shame there’s no 11ft option

When I broke the tip section on my Torrix , I just broke the tip section up into more pieces and sent it back to Mark Tunley , he rebuilt it using the old rings. This was under warranty though . Agree with the home insurance thing , by the time you’ve paid excess and increased premiums you’d...

Where Eagles Dare ! Richard Burtons call sign back to Blighty I’ve always remembered it since seeing the film as a kid at the cinema

I’m not confident enough to do the floating method , I know a one minute boil gets me what I want , plus I’m struggling to even see the baits in boiling cauldron I’ve created 🤣

Yeah it is but you have to steam them longer so extending cooking time. I boil for a minute and still get a soft paste inside that’s hardly been cooked , I’ve not tried steaming so can’t compare but John Baker still boils his baits , so that’s good enough for me .

No it’s a coffee maker 🤣 I leave in the shed overnight to harden off , then freeze , when I go fishing I’ll just get 50/60 baits out for the evening session . Later on in the season I’ll make fresh bait up day before a trip .

Think he talks about it here

I actually did this on the first batch , but I was worried about the attention of smaller fish on the un skinned part , but as always with making your own bait I can suck it and see and see how things go . Plus I can always cut the end of the ones I pre cut before boiling

Yeah I looked into steaming but the longer cook times seem to negate the more aggressive boiling method . Reading around in the home rolling community the jury is still out it seems on which is best . I boiled these for a minute which still leaves a nice soft paste on the inside , something I...

Decided not to bother rolling small baits anymore , not sure of any advantages on a river . So I simply extrude through a bait gun with a 16 mm nozzle and cut into blocks or pillows as some home rollers call them . Advantages are it’s lots quicker , bait comes out more open course in texture...

I got told just using egg whites makes a harder bait , not tried it though .

I rarely cast out without a mesh bag attached , I even started using them filled with maggots late in the season on the Trent . Can’t really see the point of a solid bag Barbel fishing , in a carp fishing context they work great because you’re putting the bait - rig - lead everything in there ...

Been using it for the last few months carp fishing , not used it on the rivers although I use mesh bags all the time . I love fishing solid bags , tie em up at home then loop to loop when you get there Nice little parcel of bait with your hookbait sat on top , don think it would work like that...

Done 👍

I actually did say this in an earlier post about getting an happy medium with flavour levels , hopefully the bait company have done enough field testing to give you the correct level . In an HNV bait with a good food signal a flavour may not be necessary , but may take longer to get established...

All flavours emit a food signal that’s the whole point of them , wether alcohol or glycol based , that packet of cheese an onion crisps I ate yesterday didn’t have any cheese or onion in there but cleverly made up flavours that just want me to eat the whole packet in seconds ! There’s a...
