Hi all. Re-energising this thread to see if any one has recent feedback.
Have searched the Internet but only the you tube videos mentioned below come up.
Any feed back welcome. Many thanks.

Thanks. I do have a phone mount and was trying to avoid buying a combi mount. May have to bite the bullet and buy a combined mount.

I got a Lake Reaper boat from Howells for a French trip earlier this year after a couple of recommendations. Just wanted something inexpensive. Unfortunately the trip fell through and its still in its box unused.

Hi all, just moved on to 30lb RM descend braid. Wondering what tubing people are using. Have managed, just about, to get it through my current tungsten tubing with some 10lb nylon looped on itself as a guide but seeing if any other tubing has been found to be better for threading. Thanks.

Thanks all. DUGGS do you have a link to the brackets mentioned??

Hi All. Having looked at threads on here and amazon and e bay. I am struggling to sort out what connector I need for an LED light for night shots.

I have a bracket that screws into a bank stick for my phone. Most of the LED lights for night shots come with a hot shoe connector. I am struggling to find a connector that I can attach to a bank stick which will then take a LED type light.

I'm sure others have solved this so any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, only been once but found a lot of info on here and by asking a few guys who had been. Only fished for 2.5 days but did manage a few up to 95lb.
Things I took. Pva bags bulk, Cork sticks, goo, catfish braid 100lb i think (tackle box), solar 101 size 2 hooks, Korda continentals large hooks, mesh tights for hook baits, hook sharpener, spomb, catapult, pop ups, plus swivels and general rig bits.
Swim wise you will likely be put on the S swims which are opposite the bungalows to start. Log with the guides what you want to catch etc and they will move you around as swims come available.
Bait as tight as possible, on the first swim it was 19 wraps (10') so 190' they provide sticks as wrap guides. The supplied tackle is cat rods and reels with heavy braid. When wrapping up keep it really tight as overruns/birds nest will occur.
On the bungalow side it was 11 wraps I think but the guides will advise. The guides will rig you up, bait and cast if you want them to.
The bar food is good and there is a swim service for snacks and drinks etc.
We hired the lounge bit for making up bags and rigs. As advised get to the swim at least 30 mins before fishing time to get rigs, bait and wraps sorted.
Hope you have a great trip, the staff were really informative and helpful when there.
The monster carp video is worth watching for rig tips.

Don't forget the clean air certificate if you are planing to drive through any of the cities covered by the regulations.

Two clubs I know, have nominated suitably qualified members as their Health and Safety representatives. Work parties are risked assessed and method statements put in place. Inductions are then carried out. Anyone using certain tools ie chain saws have to have the proper tickets in place and PPE.
Whilst most clubs have no tangible assets to attack, anyone owning lakes could be a target for claims.
With the no win no fee culture its an easy route if you are injured on a work party.
