if only !!😂

I am now in a flat with a very small terrace and getting back into some fishing.

Any tips on storage for all the bulky smelly stuff and drying wet nets etc
most of it I will have to try and securely keep outside.

Good times mate, yeah was busy weekend for sure...mostly Neil's alarms keeping me awake

Getting back into it next year after a long layoff & having to give up club ticket that took 10 years to get(mug lol)
Probably not doing nights, just days and mostly during the week.

Maybe a big ask
Looking for a club/syndicate essex/hertfordshire (no more than 90 minutes from East London.
Nice looking old carp, happy with doubles upwards don't need 40's ( nice but not essential)
With some decent other species as a bonus, tench, crucian, big rudd and Perch.
Somewhere I can spend a day walking around, stalking some fish in chilled and beautiful surroundings is far more important to me now.

TIA

Thank you Karlos!

yeah the photography has taken over my life tbh but keen to wet a line in the New Year mate.
I hope life is good for you.


Hahah the only thing that ate my bait that weekend but great memories.
Lets hope he is still annoying other anglers at Sandhurst!
What year was that ?!

I feel new haha

Been a long time but looks like it is all ticking along nicely.
It says my last post other than today was 2006!!
amazing to see it doing so well Karlos!

I have had a long break from angling but possibly looking at taking it back up in a lighter way and going back to basics.
And fishing for a mixture of species, including some dark old looking carp of any size
great London based so should be able to find a suitable mixed venue with some nice, tincas, carp, perch and crucians.

Also now in a flat so need to work out how not stink everything out with wet nets and bait.


Shout out to all the original Carpforum posse and hope some of you are still on here.
Many happy memories on the forum and fish-ins including the carp championships with the legend Mr Hubber many, many moons ag0

Just as extra to these suggestions when using dslr's etc

If using a detachable flash use its bounce card if it has one , if not you can buy add on ones tat fix too your existing flash
point the flash upwards not at the fish and turn the power up
even a tissue or white cloth over any flash will diffuse the harshness and usually create a softer light
you can even have some white material (sheet etc) behind you point the flash into that and it will bounce some fill light onto the subject
