Iam enjoying this thread bill 😬 there’s some fantastic fish being caught 🎣 we had another crack at the tench at our local club lake, I’d arranged to meet my son there as our days work had been postponed so we thought we’d take advantage.

Cork on all river rods, duplon on carp carp rods. IMO cork is wasted on carp rods especially mine they sit in the rests for days most of the time🤣🤣🤣

I don’t have a favourite swim. the river for me is where it all began in the 70s the river colne Uxbridge. As school lads we fished it all the time and it’s where I took my sons to teach them, nothing beats it👍

Hi Richard thanks for the fantastic post and very generous of you to give such a comprehensive build breakdown. I cast and coat all our leads for carp fishing. Iam definitely going to give your feeders ago. Maybe feeders made out of a roll of mesh should see me out🤣

I’ve got the Korum triangle folding net, I liked the idea but I found that when I used it the arms were weak. If like me anyone giving a underarm swing to remove debris or excess water you will fine the arms bend due to them being of tube construction. I’ve since gone back to my old Korum net...

Love my 11ft 1.5’s I was lucky enough to purchase another pair last year I’ve gave my sons one each Both were over the moon.

Check and check again that you’ve got everything before you set off. Meeting my son on the d/stour a few months ago i forgot my landing net. he got me one from the tackle shop on his way. Also I left my reading glasses behind the other week couldn’t see any thing with in arms reach😂

Hi Damian I’ll have a look at John baker’s channel As you say to make something yourself, and catch using it is very rewarding.

I found myself watching you tube a fair bit over the last year. Ones that spring to mind are Ta fishing Kenny parsons Avon angler Carl and alex Terry Hearn (fantastic scene setter and story teller) Dave lane (as above blog style) The carp catcher (blog style) back catalogue very good for hits...
