Ive been using bait boats and boats for years and everything suggested is solid advise. As previous posts its about the situation you are fishing in. Anything sub 150 yards I have always preferred to use a bait boat, anything more a standard boat makes more sense due to the current, weather, line drag making controlling the baitboat a nightmare and forfeiting the original reason for using it i.e. accuracy.

I got pulled on both sides going in and out, never had that before! But in all fairness to everyone it was similar to before Brexit asking about drugs, guns etc. The van was loaded and they could clearly see the fridge but never even worried about opening it or asking what was inside. The guys at customs are genuinely sound people most of the time who will happily have a conversation about any questions if your courteous. Show them some respect and don't huff and puff about being pulled and they generally aren't going to be worried about some boilies you have for a week fishing trip or 20 rashers of bacon . Just my experience

Its BLOODWORM.....

Hey guys, looking to use the van conversion for some winter fisning (yes im soft ) Does anyone know of any fisheries that allow for this? Swangey Lakes I know is possible but if anyone knows of a few more that would be appreciated. Anywhere Norfolk or Suffolk, possibly Cambs.

Does anyone know if you can park behind the swims at any of the lakes?

The rivers for the most part are some ppls last chance for peace and quiet hence the lack of responses im sure I struggle on commercial lakes these days, especially abroad. Its a social for me and nothing more. The rivers are so much more appealing. I tend to fish the Saone

It seems the basic infrastructure is there i.e. QR codes but its the legalities and freedom of information that isn't and wont be for some time for anything to be implemented effectively. We not only have that but the fact we have left the EU with agreements not in place or still being discussed, most seem to think this will take years. It all adds to the work load.

I also don't see France being added to the green list anytime soon. Their case levels are still relatively high, they are now reducing restrictions which means they will further increase the transmission given the lack of vaccination progress. For people that don't want to quarantine on return its all but impossible to see a trip any earlier than Sept time imo.
