How did you get on?

[Ray Roberts]

I bought a Korum chair last season, I’ve only used it once at Boddington on the fish-in. All of my fishing since has been lure fishing. If I keep on with the lure fishing it looks like it will see its guarantee period out without being sat in again, lol.

With ball that rain we had that day Ray I reckon if you didnt dry it out then the canvas will have rotted and you will never get to use it!

It is Ian. The chair has a flaw which is a shame.

I used my best Heath Robinson expertise to fix it including cable ties and JB Weld but today my fix and the other weld just broke. the replacement part I hope will be sent to me but I won't hold my breath.

Have a word with markg, I'm sure he will have a quick fix to make on the bank for future mishaps.

maybe just put a few bricks in your barrow to stick beneath your chair in an emergency

I want to keep the weight down not increase it. Markg would have been proud of my attempt at a fix which failed miserably.

 

[rayner]

Sorry, Mike, markg would not accept failure, his repairs look rough but still work.

 

[ian g]

get yourself some light weight axle stands

Buy a good seatbox

 

[mikench]

I already do but prefer a chair.

 

[markcw]

I meant one with a footplate and attachments ,

Get a seatbox with footplate etc, look at Peter Crabtrees photos and his set up. Everything to hand.

I have one but not used it. You'll be suggesting a 47m pole next.

I will add another quip before PC chastises us about misuse of the thread.
I have always thought a chair more comfortable but a year or two ago bought a smallish box as a trial for use with my new POLE. To my surprise I dont get backaches and makes me more focused when doing active type fishing as opposed to sit and wait style for biggies.

We went to the local pond for a couple of hours today to test out the travel match rod that Pete (john step) kindly sent.

Wildlife included a woodpecker close up, some blue tits and a female blackbird on our bank, plus the resident moorhens.

The fishing was hard and we missed the first bite.

But we did manage to avoid a blank thanks to an obliging small rudd.

In the background you can see the bin liner that we filled with rubbish collected by my daughter who braved the thorns.

Good to see you back on the bank Dave.

Glad it arrived OK and is of use. I hope it gives as much pleasure as it has done for me. P***** looks pleased. Pete

I think I need a brain transplant. We all forget to pack things sometimes but today was a real triumph of daftness.
I exerted considerable effort in barrowing my gear to the far end of my reservoir fishery in the mud, sat down, assembled the waggler rod and reel
Looked in my bag. NO FLOAT BOX. I struggled all day attempting to hit roach bites on a bomb and quiver tip rod.

I ended up wishing I had at least one of Markg s creations, flute or no flute.
