Top of the Tube you Westy lad! My catches dropped from between 50 and 100 fish a session as Autumn drew in to about 6 max these last few weeks. However, I don't let the forecast dictate when I go, I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them, all sellotaped together! 🙄 Tight Lines Brethren 😉🎣☕

Hope you are well Ian! Good to know it’s not just us, Really really tough winter. I know a few people who have done well on the odd day over the last couple weeks but not many. Tight lines and look after yourself 🎣👌🏻

I went minimalist few years ago . I got rid of anything bulky . I use a drennan specialist quiver bag that holds rod , net , umbrella and sticks and a shooting bucket seat that holds all my other stuff even food and flask . Makes fishing much more enjoyable for me .

Nice vid. I’m continually refining my kit to strike the right balance between taking the bare minimum/lightweight with comfort and speed to set up/pack away. Got my carp gear to where I want it, but when I have a ‘mixed day’ (float/feeder/carp) it is tricky! Tight lines!

Great video as usual keep them coming 😊

watching your video and a nice cup of coffee, nothing better to start the day ! :)

Great video as usual Westy thanks

Love the ground bait tub swap at the end

Love how honest are you, also great content!!! I literally started to go fishing here in UK and I absolutely love it

Nicking your Dad's bucket- would have have been the best catxh of the day- you nearly got away with it! Nice mirror to save the blank. Looking forward to the spring when hopefully the bites will come thick and fast!! Also looking forward to some more fishery reviews. I'll have to try some of the attractents, I've not used them yet. I sense a shopping trip is coming!
