Keep on going Leon you’re have one out! I am 8 sessions into my winter campaign on a difficult little pond, still waiting for the R3 to scream off. Fingers crossed it will happen before the spring.
When using a mono main line and a fluorocarbon leader does the fluorocarbon need be a higher breaking strain then the mono or not coz i am only using the fluorocarbon to pin it down not to take the force of the cast.thanks mate great vids as all ways.
Blanking my arse of myself pal nothing been happening on my lake either but you have to look at what's coming out when you are their before we lose faith in what we are doing. You were in the area last session but not the time they were feeding keep on keeping on my friend!
Not happening at the mo for you Leon . To eliminate the mud problem at the bivvy entrance mate I use a piece of astroturf around 1-meter x 1 meter it completely eliminates bringing mud into the bivvy and after you can just give it a wash after your session. some German carpers i know use it as a ground sheet it's totally waterproof.
Keep these blogs coming Leon as absolutely loving them, when you said you popped down the shops did you Chuck your rods bacķ in the bacķ of the wagon ?. id be to paranoid leaving my gear on the bankside.
Leon at least your out there, do you have always in mind a couple of winter waters’s you can get on ? With the weather so fluctuating would you rather fish a deep or shallow lake ? Great blog as always mate

Hi Leon good instructions as always you said a while back you would review bivvy your using is it to early yet?
I did an initial review on the Tempest but will do a full review in the next month or so when I've used it for a while longer
Thanks for reply Leon are look out for reveiw
Wicked video unlucky not catching .
Glad you liked it
Try some solid bags mate. Good vid as always thou
Not really a solid bag type of angler but maybe i should be, thxs for teh tip
Hi Leon,
Looks like they don’t maintain there swims it’s a shame when we have to pay to fish
Some swims are very well maintained, I think it’s a case of work in progress
Unlucky again but it will happen sooner than you think. Keep on as you say Leon.
If all else fails fill it in lol 😂 (bait island 🌴)
Thxs Carl
In the same boat pal got down early only to find half the bloody lake frozen and it's to get worse tonight up till Friday👿😥😥😥😥
