I got a bit over confident wading last night and now have some very wet waders. I've turned them inside out the best I can but the boots are still sopping wet. Any tips to dry them other than time in the sun. Bit worried they'll stay damp too long and go manky

Just bought a Lowrance Fish Hunter Pro on a whim as it was reduced. You have to download the app and create an account to do anything with it. I can't create an account, just throws an error, has anyone got one and got it to work?

Emailed Lowrance support and they have opened a ticket and will get back to me. In the meantime I have an £80 paperweight.

Are the cheaper Deepers any good? Just want to get a better idea of what I'm fishing over and what I'm feeling with the marker lead

thanks
Adam

Gemini do tidy stems that can be used instead of lead core and achieve the same thing

I make up a short length of lead core with a loop on the end and a swivel on the other end to connect the hook link to. Then tie a big loop in the end of the main line and you can loop to loop made up bags on

The lake I've just joined has grass carp up to a claimed 50lb. If you were targeting big grassy, what would be your go to bait? The captor of the claimed 50lb grassy is being very coy about any thing related to catching it other than a photo of a massive fish

Yes its 3 rods. I'm planning on one of the rods being a light feeder rod with small hook and maggots to see what else is there and how much there is in there.

I've signed up for a year ticket and its 10 minutes from my house so other than limited to 9-5 entry and exit its ideal

Thanks, sounds like corn is the favourite. Nice and cheap at least!

I've got a couple of bags of hemp in the freeze so will put a bit of that out with some corn and see what happens.

Tempted to buy the 50kg of maize for £30 from Monster and pile a bit in a few spots to try and attract a few to the swims

I've just got a ticket for 4 lakes that are joined by small channels. The lakes are used for watersports but used to be fishing lakes 25 years ago. There are only 4 others who are allowed to fish them with apparently only 1 who does regularly.

The owners told tall tales of a 50lb carp and many other big ones which I'm taking with a large pinch of salt, judging by the swirls I've seen there is fish in there but not sure about the accuracy of the sizes.

The owner isn't a fisherman and said boilies are no good as the fish don't know what they are, my thinking is if they smell like food the fish will eat them?

What sort of boilie would be your first choice for the lake? I'm thinking fishmeal based but I'm no boilie expert

Yateley Pads Lake can be booked exclusively https://www.yateleysocial.co.uk/pads-lake

Not fished it so can't comment on what it's like at the moment

Hoping to do 24 hours here next week but never been. Looking on their facebook they have been feeding the stock with maize during the shutdown so this seems a good starting point for bait?

Any tips to give me a head start? thinking of getting a bag of cell boilies to take as you can't go wrong with them and I have a couple of bags of hemp mix from Monster Particle in the freezer

Thanks
