it's not over quite yet

It works 🙂

The net has arrived safely, is pretty much the same as the old one and has been fitted ready for a trip to the river tomorrow. Fingers crossed that the new curse doesn't strike. Thanks again Lewis, you are a star!

That's very kind of you Lewis. Mine had a black mesh, I'm not sure If they did different colours or not. I need a replacement regardless and prefer triangular ones, so if you have a net that you don't need anymore I'll happily take it off your hands for a few quid rather than buying new.

Flipping mouse has eaten my middy specialist landing net. I'm gutted, I must have had it 20+ years and it's been excellent. I particularly liked that it had some lead stitched into the bottom which helped with netting. Long shot but does anyone know of any replacement nets that are weighted...

You have a PM Daniel

Definitely check the levels before you travel Rich. It's properly flooded at the moment and there's a lot of rain in the forecast for tomorrow.

I'm with you on the Clipper organic Joe, it's a lovely brew. When i'm home and can be arsed, better still is loose rolled breakfast tea from brewteacompany https://www.brewteacompany.co.uk/collections/all-products/products/english-breakfast-loose-leaf-tea

I'm in a similar boat Simon. I didn't mange to persuade my mate to rejoin this year. I fished plenty in the summer through to early autumn. The result, zero barbel and a less than normal amount of chub. It's going to be hard to justify the cost of the ticket to myself next year. The guest...

The wording of that last post from Martin is Politian style double speak. 'I don't believe the footage shows me re-hooking' is about a million miles away from saying that I didn't and haven't in the past. I'm quite disappointed. I guess that i shouldn't really be surprised that this sort of...

Or a very expensive out of court settlement so as not to be named

An article i read on voice cloning for a little context for those that might not have come across it https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/20/it-could-have-me-read-porn-stephen-fry-shocked-by-ai-cloning-of-his-voice-in-documentary

Google search 'AI Voice cloning' and see how many hits you get, it's not hard to find video footage of MB to add it to if you are that way inclined.

I read that as he knows who is trying to set him up and has been talking to lawyers

I have no knowledge either way but that could be a deep fake made by someone with an axe to grind.

They look great Terry, that colour combo is a contender for sure. How are you getting on with the screw down reel seat? You don't see many rods with that configuration, i haven't had a rod with one like that for years and years.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and pictures, I'm not much closer to a decision, but it's definitely helping.

I would imagine that looks stylish Derek

I'm thinking of getting a couple of rods built and I'm starting to think of what colour whipping to go for. I've picked up most of my rods second hand over the years and have never given it a second thought previously. I get this is a very personal thing but just wondered what people's...

It's still fairly early days for my pair of Okuma Pulzar 6000's but I'm very impressed so far. They compare well to the 6000OC's on my pike rods.
