  1. No , they went a while back . I forgot to update the post
  2. Loads of cabbage whites and a fair few red admirals aswell on my pen . Plenty of bees and millions of annoying wasps too
  3. This was some of the lures I used . Forgot to mention the ima glide in sexy mackerel colour
  4. I don’t do it now but used to do a bit of bass lure fishing and I favoured hard baits over soft plastics . Not because they are better , just because I liked collecting jdm lures . My favourites were ima hound glide , ima sasuke , longin franky , longin hi standard , and megabass zonk . Top water wise have a look at xorus patchinko , xorus asturie and mechanic lures auto walker. Colours I favored in hardbaits were cotton candy , joker , 500g , yellow , white and sand bora . For soft plastics , savage gear sandeel , savage gear gravity sticks , fiish black minnows and pays bass jj minnows in
  5. That’s interesting , I’ve got another one in my other run that looks similar that I’ve wondered about . I’m going down after dinner so I’ll have a good look at both of them
  6. Just messaged a mate and asked him to nip on and have a look while he was down . He sent me these pictures and said he thinks it could be a cockerel but the other one makes you think it isn’t because it’s more advanced. He thinks it’s a slow maturing and it looks like saddle feathers are coming through
  7. I’ll have a proper look when I go down later , I don’t think it has though .
  8. I think you could be right . It’s one pullet less to buy when his next lot are ready if it is
  9. Got given 2 Swedish flower hens today , both are 18 weeks and from the same hatch and I was given them as cockerels . The bloke had sold one as a cockerel and the other as a pullet but got given both back with the person saying they were both cockerels and as he knew I needed one he sent me a few pictures and asked if I wanted them . I said I only wanted one and decided on the one with a white tail so didn’t pay much attention to the other one but changed my mind and decided to have the other as a spare . I took them home and put them in a run and stood there watching them with a few of the ot
  10. Not much flow but it’s a bite a chuck on the stick and waggler
  11. They are easy to work on if you haven’t already done it . Looks like the piston washer is missing in the picture and I couldn’t see if the piston o ring is still on . I got the tw chambers premium tuning kit with the standard spring when I did mine and layer decided to get a t r robb piston head for it and also made a piston sleeve and it now shoots pretty well with no twang . It would also be worth making or getting a spring compressor off eBay to make it easier to put back together
  12. Savage sandeels and fiish black minnows I did alright with for bass , pollock and wrasse when I used to do that kind of fishing . There’ll be copies on temu and Ali . 9 7 tungsten are doing some lures that are worth a look and rooneys lures seem popular with the sea lads
  13. Trout fishing with light lures is brilliant but the fly lot don’t like the riff raff catching their fish and tend to make access difficult but I’m lucky that it’s the coarse clubs that control most of the rivers round me and I can pick and choose where to go I tend to use 6lb cahira nitinol single strand titanium on the canal these days but mono or flouro for trout . I tend to miss the slower deeper sections and target shallow rapids and never had pike in them before but I’ll try the ti leaders now and see if it makes a difference to the trout because all my hard lures are jdm and I
  14. The canal by me is virtually unfishable at the minute. It’s like a bowling green with floating duckweed . It does get broke up by the wind and heavy rain but you don’t know which bit will be fishable at any given time so unless I already know somewhere is clear I won’t bother with the canal till later in the year and I’ll go on the rivers after trout , chub , perch and grayling instead . Went on Friday and had a few brownies on my little Japanese lures , also had a Jack about 5lb in some really shallow fast water . Went down to the next section of shallow rapids and hooked a double that bit th
