Crazy how time flies . COVID was 6 years ago when
Toilet rolls was worth more than gold.
Brexit happened and we all realized that taking bait over
To France was a nightmare and tomorrow is the 6th of June
D-day for anyone who has a passion for history 82 years ago
How the UK has changed and Europe to that end.
I'm still fishing a little more now than I ever did I suppose getting older
Has it's advantages as you realize time is more important than
Anything else. The clock is ticking if you want to do something
Do it now. Not everyone gets to see tomorrow

All I can hear is harry hill there's only one way to find out fight
Sounds like six of one and half a dozen of the other.
So anyone know when the rematch is on and is it
Pay per view or is it worth just going to see it ring side
Sorry lake side

100% korda have pumped millions into it with little to no return
On the investment no other company would do that ever
Korda is a great company started from nothing employees people in the UK
And Europe. Creating jobs and paying tax into the system
An everything in-between. Hats off to korda
In an ever changing world of ups and downs they keep going
Looking at it in a business sense I think it's amazing
You need to understand what it takes . you have to admire
It .. I do ..

It's a freezer not a time machine I have bait in the freezer for
About three months then it gets used I want my bait to be at it's best
I bait up with old baits out of the freezer if it's older than three months
It's all about confidence that is what I do same as things like pop up and
Wafters don't keep them longer than a year even if they still smell the same
I want the best it can be .

I fish a water that is barbless hooks only it's very weedy
In the hight of summer I've had no trouble with fishing such
Hooks I keep the pressure on all the time and the carp I've had
Are all in fantastic condition no mouth damage
I'd prefer to use a barbed hook but it's more a state of mind
There are excellent hook patterns out on the market
In today's market I don't think there's anything in it to be honest
We can argue until the cows come home on the issue of one over
The other .. but there are so many different things to take into consideration
I'd say don't be put off from using barbless hooks.
That's my take on it

I don't soake them I don't cover them in anything
I use straight as is . If you have to soak and cover them then
Why even bother with them.

I popped there yesterday it's now closed. Was a sign outside
said close for refurbishment. Think it will still be a tackle shop
Just not sure who's going to open it. Don't know the ins and outs
Just know it was a wasted journey
