I use the s3 as toppers for snowmen with ABS k2. Don't know why, but it works! Lovely spice note to them

Quote... Cam you repost the garlic hemp method please? Cheers Matt
It's so simple to prepare. 3/4 fill a large bucket with a secure fastening lid with dry hemp. Take 3 or 4 large complete garlic bulbs, cut them in half against the grain. I do not even cut all the way through, just enough to open up every segment to the water. Place the garlic in the bucket and fill the bucket with warmed water. Place the bucket in a sunny spot in the garden for one - two weeks with the lid tightly snapped shut. If the sun is shining everyday it will take 5 - 7 days. More time if not so sunny. Don't keep peeking everyday, you will make it take far longer. You should either blow the lid off the bucket, or the bucket will look like it's going to blow up. There will be a thick white scum on the top of the water. The smell will blow your socks off. It should make you wretch. Pour the whole lot into a big pot and boil outside. Bring to the boil, then place the whole lot back into the bucket, lid sealed. Leave to cook further. When it has cooled, drain the water and remove the garlic. It will not be as fierce now. Into a large bucket, put 500g - 1kg of salt, and enough hemp oil to throughly coat the lot. Stir it all up. This will last in the bucket for a week. After spawning until into October, this will out fish any boillie/freezer bait that has ever been made.

Quote... @mark - do you have a list of the specialist you are doing?
The hutchy ones and cola etc.. I think there was a post further down the threat or on a previous one somewhere but can't find it.
We have Hutchy S2 (white) Scopex/Pineapple S2 (pink) RedBerry/Vanilla S2 (brown) Cherry-Cola S2 (pink), DNA Bug (Natural). We have plenty of all of those in 13/16mm balanced or pop ups. If you would like to order any of the above, please start your WhatsApp message to our work mobile (contact page of website) with the full name which will be on order first. Followed by exactly what you require, quantities and variations. They are the same price as our Garlics until they go onto the website, when they will be slightly more expensive. You will be told exactly what to order from the website to cover the special orders. Anything extra you order from our website on the same order will come as normal.

2006, scan of a print, days only Sutton 2. First time this fish went over 40lb. T&M bottom bait tipped with an S2, wrapped in peanut butter paste. Second time I caught this fish in three months. I'd caught him on my second day as a member, a couple of months before at 39lb15oz.
He was 41lb+ here I think.

Another member of the same boggle eyed group of Thames carp that clearly used to swim around in the river in same little group as the famous Eye from Sonning, before that fish ever got flooded into the big pit at Sonning. Then much later, this same group of carp effected by this eye parasite, would also swim around with the former river Thames record linear for a couple of years when that fish ended up in the same stretch as them in Marlow. That monster fish would be dead within a couple of years of linking up with this same group. I caught this particular mid 30 twice within four months in 2017. It's a very classic spawned in the river Thames carp. That scale pattern of the small scattered scales was a very common one amongst the older strain of Thames carp. If you look along the Thames floodplain, all of those famous pits that used to contain long scaly big carp of a strain the same as this fish here. Summerleaze, Taplow, Sonning, the list goes on and on. All of them contained classic Thames carp that were flooded into all of those pits naturally, long before carp fishing had even taken off.
If you look at this fishes eye in the first photo, you can see that it's very blown up and distended. It's far more noticeable on the bank than in these photo's here. It has the same eye parasite as the fish in the post this one replies too.The exact same eye parasite as the famous Eye from Sonning was effected by. In some fish the eye completely blows up. In others like this fish here, it just becomes very swollen and bloated. I caught two bream and one tench in the same area effected by the same eye parasite, which is only passed by contact.
This particular Thames carp, has long outlived the Eye, long outlived the former Thames record linear from 2017. That record has been broken at least twice by a different fish since. Unlike that linear, an original spawned in the river Thames carp has held the record again for the past three or four years.
It's just not been common knowledge.
