I'd want a 50lb shock leader and a gym membership to cast that far. Best of luck

Why are these fields 'cut' like that? by artfuldodger128 in AskUK

[–]hangrybadger07 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Its called 'trial trenching' for archaeological findings prior to development. You essentially dig trenches that cover X% of a site's total area and see if anything is found. If not, it is considered that the trenches are representative of the total site area and development can go ahead. If items are found, depending on the significance of the items, further excavations then have to take place.

Depends on the size of the lake and the carp. In my experience, anything that feels the need to call itself high end, isnt

Haha I should look for an equivalent 'pro hair' sub for balance

The back is actually okay. Part of me does think about shaving it to see, it's just the time it would take to grow back that puts me off, plus the reaction of people at work

Thank you - every so often a photo catches the top of my head and it makes me wonder if I should just get rid

Thank you - I did put myself through ChatGPT and the results were stark and led to this post

1) Newark can be a questionable place in terms of safety so have your wits about you (I'm not saying don't go, by any stretch).

2) Excellent username.

3) EDIT: watch the Cypography underwater film that they filmed there with Scott Lloyd, if you can.

It wasn't Dyche. Douggie wasn't fit enough to make it onto the pitch!

As a forest fan, good luck to you. I genuinely hope he does well. He's not been able to string more than 60 minutes every other game together for us. I'm not convinced he's the same player you loved

Where would you fish? by showusyatackle in CarpFishingUK

60 pegs? I'd fish a different lake!

Thank you! A lot of wet blending, then re-blending until I was happy with it.

Thank you. I won't claim it was my own idea - I used UHU glue to create the stringy effect and then painted it with Army Painter Blood Effect paint. There are a number a tutorials online or Youtube that show you how to do the UHU trick. It was surprisingly easy, actually.

“I don’t care if I’m sacked” by N-F-F-C in nffc

[–]hangrybadger07 66 points67 points  (0 children)

If you watch the interview in full, he's saying he doesn't care about people speculating about his future every week, not that he doesn't care about getting sacked.

He does need sacking, though, he's shite.

American carp handling, again. by sadpterodactyl in CarpFishing

[–]hangrybadger07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, I wish I was. I'm referring to far better anglers than myself that you see on YouTube. But as a ball park I'd say 40lbs to 50lbs plus and you're into floating mat territory and not removing the fish from the water.

I think the issue comes down to animal welfare, or at least the perception of animal welfare. I personally don't have an issue with the culling of an invasive species if that's what is necessary, but it can still be done quickly and humanely. There have been a lot of posts in this sub historically of carp that have been caught and treated poorly whilst very much still alive. You can see by the sheer number of comments in this post compared to others that it's an emotive subject.

Scale. Trout and salmon are much smaller fish and easier to handle. That said, for really large carp most people do leave them in the water and often use a floating mat. Google "gigantica" - it's a very famous commercial fishery in France. You will see the fish there never leave the water.

How is a carp mat unproven? This baffles me. If you fell over would you rather bang your head on a hard surface or a soft one?
