You need to make sure you are accurate with the spod!
Clip up the right distance and dont forget to feather the line to drop the spod gently in the water, stops it throwing the bait out of the back of the spod.
Dont forget to plug the end of the spod with some method mix or groundbait.
Add pellets/chops/tares/hemp to the spod mix when fermenting etc etc

We'll be using a mix of brown crumb, 2mm micro pellets, 6mm halibut pellets, 10mm halibut pellets, sweetcorn, birdseed and hemp (boiled), few tins of tuna and some chilli powder for good measure

I dont mind organising it.
Me and Barndoor always going on about it.
Would have to make the venue somewhere central tho and people must be willing to travel and maybe pay deposit or pay for the venue up front so they cant bottle out.

I live bang in the middle of the uk so could recommend some venues. I live about 4 miles from bham airport and there's some lakes with great access from the main motorways.

two tone's dead, died last year and was 65lb+.... break him the news gently, these carp boys are easily upset! Maybe that fish has decided to try and falsely mascarade itself as the original two tone!
