What size fish in smiths pool and can I do an overnight session there?

I'm looking at the trakker big snooze too for £80. From the feedback I've had it's worth spending the extra £20 for the Gardner carp duvet compact because it's a 5 season bag you can use in winter. The compact will fit a standard size bed too.

Good to hear your back out fishing again mate. Interestingly, I recently made a post on the top anglers of today and most people said a top angler is one who carries on fishing through adversities in their life so you can consider yourself one of them!

I actually live closer to horseshoe lake than linear fisheries but I was put off by the cost of it. Have you fished any other lakes in the cotswolds? Thinking of trying Whelford pools soon

Cheers mate. Had any good catches at linear this year?

I would say I'm smoking hot.

In all seriousness though, I do get hot very quickly in bed but then again I've never been sleeping outdoors in minus 5

I know there are a lot of people who don't like fishing at Linear because its so busy, but its only a 30 minute drive from where I live and Id like to try it regardless.

When is the quietest time to go and what lake would you recommend for someone who is relatively new to carp fishing?

So Ive recently purchased a bedchair but Im still undecided on the sleeping bag. Im currently looking at trakker big snooze and sonik sk-tek sleeping bag for £60 each. Has anyone used these before?

Im looking for something I can use throughout the year so I think I need a 5 season sleeping bag. Can I get a decent one for under £80 or is it worth spending the extra money for the likes of the Cyprinus magmatex or Gardner carp duvet?

Mate I don't catch fish worth weighing.
