  6. Yup,all a long time ago,I think I was about 13 when I started,1000 fish in a month is awesome,,y best year ever was when I was about 15 years old,I left the area a few years later,never once used lime,no need,theres actually a documented case somewhere online,I found it earlier this year somewhere of two guys working the Wear who took over 500 fish in 2 nights Hardest part of that isnt the catching,its the carrying
  7. They are one of the few airguns which were designed to work best around the 60-75ft lbs mark?Havent they stopped importing them now?Very nice guns

  22. Blanked isnt in my vocabulary,some of the best carp waters in the country are within spitting distance,I passed wrayesbury earlier,but I am just not dedicated nor single-minded enough to target individual fish,capr fishing becomes obsessional Maty
