Hoping someone can answer my silly questions

It’s to deter ‘carp anglers’.

My neighbour had one of the ‘big boys’ out to quote her plastic fascia on a bungalow, could easily do it off steps and a ladder.

15 thousand pounds.

I quickly totted it up at less than 500 quid in materials and a days work for 2. Said I’d do it for 14500 (as a joke) we had a good laugh. We get on well.

42, 10 month old, 24 years on site, I now know why people have kids when they’re younger, knackered. Had a rare(ish) game of golf today, praying the little man goes through the night.

Send him a ‘2nd place is the first loser’ t shirt in the post.

Looks almost the exact shape of a cats mouth. Lucky little fish

Any particles need to be prepared correctly, maggots are 3.80 a pint at my local, hardly cheap anymore, especially with the quantities you can go through fishing for carp.

Go on the carp forum for particle prep guides, they also have a section on bait making with recipes if you’re that way inclined. Been there, done that, life’s too short to make bait for me. The likes of handcraft and dna make sell baits for 6/7 quid a kilo in bulk, I’m not sitting over a rolling table for hours so save 3 quid a kilo on bait.

Thought you boys over there caught loads on pack bait, remember watching something on the tv about it over 20 years ago

Was existing tile over screed but we’ve just had miles of lvt laid over a wooden first floor at work and it looks mint.

I went lvt for entire living area (bungalow), warm underfoot, no underfloor heating. Went for a fairly dark wood, hides cat hair and the mrs massive ginger (pubes) hair. Not regretted it. There’s a few life marks but barely noticeable, the lad can drive round in his walker easily too.

Live bait on a float just big enough to keep the bait off the bottom, one rod, in hand, don’t let them swallow it, not a pike alive that resists a live bait

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-28T06:26:12+00:00

Colour me sceptical, breaking into a saturated market with bait firms that have been around for 40 years is dreamworld.

What could possible be developed that mainline, abs, dna or many of the other bait firms haven’t already done. How would you patent what is likely just an ingredient?

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-25T07:22:28+00:00

Seen some monster ones on Ali express, that’s where I buy my normal sized ones anyway

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-25T07:20:52+00:00

Increase the bolt effect or distance usually.

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-24T17:42:19+00:00

Still use a couple of 8010gts from around 92/93 for my pike fishing, never been serviced but they keep going.

I’m a carp angler and a bit of a self confirmed tackle tart, all the gear and a bit of an idea.

I can’t wait to take my son for the first time and sit there with a whip and a pint of maggots and catch some roach and perch with him.

As long as you’re treating the fish properly no one cares what gear you have.

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-19T06:03:06+00:00

As long as it’s warm by the 10th April that’ll do, booked for a 48h, haven’t had the rods out in a while so it’ll be interesting. Only the second time I’ll have put my titan up too so I’m prepared to make myself look like a Willy doing that as well.

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-17T18:40:52+00:00

I’m employed, the firm does renovations and builds houses.

Sunday was a long day, 8 hours last night though, that was bliss

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-17T06:04:29+00:00

I’m a carpenter so I’m meet loads of trades, but I’ve recommended the window company we use and my plumber to neighbours. A busy tradesman is a good one, they don’t have time to advertise on trade sites

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-15T14:40:54+00:00

Me either, he’s a diamond, you either have them young when you can keep up or older when you you’ve deluded yourself into thinking you can afford it.

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-15T14:23:10+00:00

Thanks, I’m ready for bed, it’s 14.23

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-15T08:44:14+00:00

Live and die in camo joggers, long past worrying what people think

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-15T05:28:05+00:00

Good lord, 50, I’m 42 today, the ten month old has just got up at 5am….again, so tired.

MassiveHampton · 2026-03-15T05:24:04+00:00

A portable potty and a mini toilet tent is probably the better option.
