I can't remember the lads name I fished with at Horseshoe, cockney fella who worked on the meat markets. Good lad. We were sat there waiting for the draw, watching loads of Carp head and shoulder over the far side and nobody else seemed to notice We managed to get over there and had a few between us.

The fish were going mental in summer bay at horseshoe. Me and Carpman Conway ended up fishing right up the top of the lake a million miles walk from the club house either way we went 😂

Good times in the early year socials. Should definitely try and get one organised again when we can for old times sake

Yes I remember the gif ban. I had rows of little animated Tinheads that would slow down the site so unfortunately they had to go

It was Winter bay we were in, like you a massive walk from the car park! I remembered who I fished with, his name was Lee but I can't remember his username (he's probably posted in this thread )

I remember the Cromwell social. I had them feeding in the margins and got the only run on the morning of going home, but it went into the nature reserve behind and cut me off Carpmanconway spent ages trying to nab one after that as others were still there and I'd packed up pissed off. I remember the bait too, Maple-8 that had turned and gone all white. It smelled awesome.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
