Great video and good idea on the bivvy. I am looking at new bivvy, I have the tempest 150 on the list along with the new Titian T1. Looking at your new bivvy looks good, I like to have my chair inside also. Thanks for sharing. Mike

[@CarpBites]

Thanks Mike, I'm well pleased with the bivvy, its definitely worth checking out, try and see them both together before buying.

[@mikewaller4141]

​@CarpBites yeah will look at both. I have a titan hide atm, but before that a trakker armo which is my fav so will be checking out the 150.

[@garyguest1885]

Another enjoyable watch South London fella 👍🏻

[@CarpBites]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks Gary 👍

[@garyguest1885]

@@CarpBitesdo you ever use backleads mate? it cuts out 99% of the liners. That common looked bigger on film 👍🏻

[@CarpBites]

Yes mate, I use them a lot, but with the margins being so deep and weedy I decided not to on this session.

[@garyguest1885]

@@CarpBites gotcha 👍🏻I try to avoid em if I can to be honest but sometimes they are a must

[@CarpBites]

I agree 👍

[@ChunksterFishing]

Solid graft steve mate! I fished your swim on my first visit there and struggled...one of those swims they love showing themselves but are tricky to get! Well done bud! 👍💪🎣

[@CarpBites]

Thanks mate, it was not easy although. Jack made it look like it was! 👍

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Nice video buddy.

[@CarpBites]

Thanks Martyn 👍

[@SeanTheChef]

Great video Steve. That bivvy looks nice I must say.

[@CarpBites]

Cheers Sean, yes I am really pleased with the bivvy, so much space inside, a nice bit of luxury for an old boy like me!

[@lukeframpton3671]

Done well mucker

[@CarpBites]

Cheers Luke 👍

[@iantorry3090]

sorry maybe a stupid question but how did you cook the curry and rice please and what rice and curry was it . cheers ian .

[@CarpBites]

No duch thing ad a stupid question, the curry was from the Cook frizen range, the rice is VeeTee sticky rice, both avaliable from my local co-op. Use a ridgemonkey xl pan on very low heat, warm curry up for about 5 mins, then add the rice and cook for a few more minutes (keeping lid down all the time). Super tasty, super easy food on the bank.

[@sarahrochester2561]

Would be better if you had a chat with the other people it’s a social it’s not just about you

[@CarpBites]

Thats a fair comment, maybe next year I'll try and do a swim visit with each angler.
