@@simonhinson9367 Thanks Simon 😁👍certainly tough hitting them spots in high wind 😁😁😁

@LiamTurner-u3v it certainly is well spotted Liam 😁👍👌

@@michaelmoulds6239 Thank you so much Mick 😁👍👌, definitely one of the hardest lakes at Norton after holdens but I’ll be back to give it another go at some point 😁👌👍

@ we’ll be back 👍🏻

@ definitely Buddy 😁👍

@@robasher8788 Thank you Buddy plus great recommendation putting some ropes on 😁😁😁👍👍👌👌👍👍😁😁😁👍👍👌

@@davefreercarpangler Thank you Dave 👍😃👌👍, I totally agree with your comment about Holden’s Buddy it’s certainly a tough lake , best of luck with your session on the 10th hopefully you catch a few 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

@@LeroidFootlong sometimes it can lead to fish being foul hooked Buddy as the carp are feeding on suspended particles that has a hook and hook bait (zig ) within the zone , hope that’s makes sense Buddy 😀👍

@dazharriesquestforanother60 Nice one. 👍🏻

@@raywalpole9390 Thank you Ray 😁👍👌, your right about the bags buddy the oil certainly does increase the breakdown time , when tested in the margins it took about 10 mins to breakdown but guessing in the deeper depths this gets increased even more but on the flip side I like the high attraction element but definitely worth keeping in mind the longer breakdown times tho Buddy 😁👍👌, fingers crossed for tight lines on your next trip out Ray 😁👌😁😁👍👌👍

@@darwindavies6979 Thank you Darwin 👍😁👌👍, the winds certainly made it a challenging session 😂😂hopefully next trip the weather will be more pleasant, tight lines Buddy 😁👍👌👍😁👍👍👍👍👍

@@bradhorner1358 Thank you Brad 😁👍👌😁👍

@@michaelmoulds6239 Thanks Mick , think this may be the last fish for awhile now conditions are extremely cold 🥶

@ cold ??? Don’t know what you mean buddy??? I’ve burnt my feet with that log burner 🤣😂

@ got to admit I’m the same tonight 😂😂

@@darwindavies6979 Thank you Darwin 👍😁👌, like you say buddy it’s just great to catch one this time of year 😁👍, happy new year to you too Buddy tight lines for 2025 😁😁😁😁👍👍👌👌

@@davidgartside4860 Thank you for your comment and recommendation David 😁👍👌, a few people have said try army surplus so I’m going to give them a try also your definitely right about the carp tax 😂😂😂👌😁👍

Hi Dave , Thanks for the recommendation Buddy I’ll certainly check them out 👌👍😀👌👍

@@peterayre6535 Thank you Peter 👍😁plus thanks for recommending hot hands I’ve just looked and can get them nice and cheap so I’ll definitely give them a try 👌 thanks again Buddy , have a great Christmas 👍😁👌

@@NickBabington Thank you for your comment Nick 😁👌👍, I’ve just ordered some fortis thermal socks so hopefully this helps , I’ll certainly try changing socks a bit more also someone has commented cut down on caffeine as this doesn’t help which is something I’ve never heard before but will definitely try cutting it down , best of luck with your heat holder socks hope this sorts you out. Tight lines and hopefully warm feet going forward Buddy 👍😁👌👍😁

@@tomburns-t3j Thank you for recommending plus I’ve never heard about hot chocolate and caffeine being an issue but I’ll try to avoid next few trips and see how I get on, thanks you , Thanks for letting me know about for shop too but tell you the truth I’ve just purchased some fortis ones yesterday from total fishing tackle but I’ll certainly check your shop out going forward 😁👍, Thanks again Buddy 👍😁👌

@@julianwhyler1968 Hi Buddy , great question , i did wonder that question myself so actually started writing it down 4 weeks ago with the intention of seeing how much I’m spending in 12 months , it’s certainly going to be a high figure and something I won’t be sharing with the misses 😂😂 , realistically it’ probably averages £100 per trip to a day ticket water excluding food as you have to eat we’re ever you are, my mindset is whilst I’m earning reasonable money and get great pleasure out of fishing different venues I’ll keep at it but definitely won’t be able to sustain the costs when I retire 😁👍👌 also I don’t really have other hobbies so it’s all I really spend my money on,… I might share the 12 months total on a video in 11 months 😁👍👌, tight lines Buddy 👍

@@michaelmoulds6239 Thank you Buddy 😁👍👌plus thanks for recommending the socks 😁👍, best of luck with your next trip out 😁👍

@@markjefferys2549 Thank you for your feedback Mark plus thanks for recommending the fortis socks , these have been recommended by someone else also so I’ll definitely check them out , thank you 👌👍😁

@@RobertEdmondson-y6q tell you the truth thought would try the boilie approach which didn’t work so next time I’ll definitely give maggots and worms a go Buddy

@ it’s a maggot,caster,worms only really from November 1st most get tricked on them I missed my 36 hour mid November due to work but will book if I can Xmas spell.

@ thanks for the advice Robert 😁👍👌, shame about missing your trip Buddy and best of luck with your next session on there 😁👍👌
