I see a guy on Facebook having to sell some tackle due to the price of a new syndicate he's joined to be very expensive. As it's getting ridiculous with the cost of things now . What lengths would you go to pay for your ticket.. how much would you pay as most good syndicates are anything between £600 up £1500 maybe more.

I'd stick my Mrs on the game. Granted at a tenner a pop it's gonna take her a while to earn my ticket money once I factor in the refunds.
But an added bonus is she'll be out most nights so that gives me more time to watch carp fishing on the tv and go carp fishing at the weekend.
Plus I won't have to go anywhere near her as some other geezer will have saved me the trouble. So it's a win win really.

Haha that guy is me.
I'm not selling tackle I use, I'm selling the doubles/triples of stuff I have.
I have 2 sets of Century Neville and Scope Ops bars and sticks. What use do I have for 2?
I have 8 stainless nevs, I'm only selling 2.
The more tackle I can shift the less I have to tell the Mrs the cost of the ticket is!!

That makes sense..I only keep what I use,I've been like that since childhood..
I think people are going to struggle to actually go fishing dreckly,as I note the roads are dead,dead quiet ,and the only garage on the edge of the moors is charging 170 for petrol.and 180 for diesel, a litre..
Times are achanging ,tighten.yr belts ..!

I've recently got back into fishing after a few years in Australia and have bought and upgraded so much, it's just surplus stuff that I was holding for a rainy day.
Syndicates have got crazy expensive but where I'm joining is beautiful and has some lumps to go at (plus the security is top class).
Yeah I saw 189 for diesel in Essex yesterday. Madness.

Yeah the cost of going now is ridiculous, unless you live on top of your venue .as I live in Essex and quite a lot of syndicates in and around we're I live . But the cheapest is about £400 and it's a **** hole . All the decent ones are around the £650 mark.

Id much rather spend my money on good ticket than fancy gear.

Haven't been on in a while, pure chance I saw this ha.
Also I don't ‘have' to sell any gear, it's more that I can ‘reduce' the cost of the ticket to the Mrs if I move some

My wife ain't to bad she does let me join the more expensive ones if I want , but as I don't go as much as I would like it just doesn't warrant it . And the fact I'm probably fishing one of the most sort after club lakes in Essex makes up for it 😀😀.

I'm gonna assume he's talking about CAA. Not sure the water though - doubt it's no publicity if it's a club!

CAA is not difficult to get a ticket, getting a decent night permit..that's another matter. No chance as a new member to get one.
I can think of others that are not NPW but are near to impossible to get a ticket or have a very long waiting list.
Anyway it's going off topic slightly.
