I'm helping out as a volunteer at Norton Disney in April and as part of deal you can fish afterwards, have only ever fished for 24 hours max, and seemed to be a lot of stuff I took then, what would you guys advice me to take

In reply to Post #1
A bit more bait and a bit more food and possibly more clothes unless you don't mind stinking

In reply to Post #1
More bait, more clothes, more food and possible more terminal tackle, nothing different really from a 24hr to a 4 day session mate

In reply to Post #1
4 times as much as youd need for a 24hr session (food, water, bait etc)

In reply to Post #1
Take minimal kit if possible. Be mobile, You are move likely to move, if the fish do.

Same kit as a an 24hr overnighter, keep everything you don't need, like spare food, bait, fuel, etc, in the car.
Enjoy.

96 hours.....

Yea 4x24 = 96

In reply to Post #7
He is saying you need 96hours to do a 4 day session

I am reading this as you are working during the day and can then fish overnight??

If so, that's 4 overnighters rather than 96hrs?

Yea will be working during the day then be able to fish afterwards

Will they be feeding you during the day and evening? i.e. Lunch and Dinner.
If so, you would just needs snacks and drinks/water etc.

I wouldn't be taking 4 days worth of kit/food when in reality you won't actually be fishing for 4 days.

No don't think so mate, no food included

3 essentials that I would take on any session longer than a day is:-

1. A bog roll as I doubt I could nip a dump for 96 hours.

2. A spare pair of "Kecks" in case I followed through when "squeaking" a fart out.

3. A spare pair of socks in case I stepped or slipped into the pond.

The most important thing I'd suggest to take is experience but being short of that just wing it after all what can go wrong lol, enjoy.

obviously you will need your fishing kit + enough Bait.

4 days worth of food + the means to cook it (GAS) - I suggest include at least some healthy food. 4 days of 'bank food' isn't really the one.

Plenty of water, at least 10L depending on what you like to drink, although you can probably re-fill it there

Couple of changes of clothes

Spare Batteries and/or/ charger for bivvy light/headtorch/bite alarms

Loo roll + plastic bags

I notice no one has mentioned a flannel/ wet wipes and toothbrush, so i will mention that.
Always best to do your face first before your knackers!

Alot less than what you would need for four day sessions , you will be asleep for most of it.

Hahaha the dreaded follow through!!

In reply to Post #1
4 x the usual amount of Stella.....

In reply to Post #1
. . .zip in front so you can knock one out in peace (blanking . . .look it up) . . .enjoy!

I wouldn't get up the next morning after drinking stella

In reply to Post #21
. . .agree with that - Stella is wife beating treacle laced p*ss . . .

Something not as loopy maybe!

In reply to Post #1
A bedchair . Bait. 🪝

Cheers ciderman

AS your working in the daytime you will be having breakfast dinners etc so
Then obvious things over your normal day a bed chair sleeping bag as that's mostly what you will be doing after a days work sleeping

SO A DECENT head torch chargrd or new batts waterproof clothing some warm clothes a flask of tea or coffee will easily see you overnight and you will be asleep for most of it some snacks a couple of rounds of sandwiches or a pasty if you don't mind eating them cold ? or a bag of doughnuts etc

In reply to Post #19
That's true but I'd add a bit more now it's 4.6%

In reply to Post #16
interesting use of your toothbrush there mate...

might give it a try!



In reply to the OP - sounds a great payoff for doing a bit of work. Good for you fella.

I'd add some anti-bacterial handwash to the list. Roland rat and his pals are active at night and avoiding Weils is always a good thing.

Bog roll hope u catch a few

Cheers mate, a few will do me

2 litres of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum.

In reply to Post #32

Not waking up in the morning after having too much of that

In reply to Post #34
if your staying in one swim keep putting the bait out whilst working, no lines in water bait going in, could b good

Yea that's a good idea cheers

In reply to Post #1
Enjoy it. To be honest Norton Disney sound like they have the right idea, Free labour for 4 days for maybe a total of 48 hours fishing. Even minimum wage at £8.72 for 8 hours a day is £69.76 for a nights fishing

In reply to Post #38
I know crazy when you work it out like that

In reply to Post #39
Take the f*ckers to an industrial tribunal!

Haha think I might mate
