Well, quite an unusual welcome to the cart fishing podcast, episode 84, but we're starting off by Mark's squeaky, very squeaky.

Is that a direwood tournament?

It is a dial tournament.

Yeah, Diya tournament reel. As he reels in to try and reposition a PVA bag,

as you can tell, we're fishing. And he's just having a cast to see if the lead well to see if the

spot is clear enough to present a rig and then the plan is to quickly clip that up which i think

he's doing now i'm um i'm talking for him giving him a bit of running commentary because he's 15

yards down the bank from me oh mate you still hear me though can't you i think i'm you can hear me? Well, I can hear you. Oh no, they'll be able to hear you, of course, because you've got a clip on mic, but all they're going to get here is a salt and pepper grinder. Something that needs a good oiling.

I think a lot of it's down to dirt around the bottom of the spool, which your kit is always dirty. What you say, might. Oh mate, I don't think any of us, me or you are, I could ever sit in the camp of tackle tarts, would we?

I used to, but not now.

Yeah.

Why do you think that's changed?

I used to have to have everything level.

Yeah.

I used to have everything matching.

Everything, like the setup, I couldn't settle in my swim until my setup looked like how i envisaged it before i turned up if you're not i mean i'm talking when i was a kid yeah i i think i was the same back many many years ago but i think as you get older um certainly for me and particularly having kids you sort of accept that you know you're not in

control of a lot of things and the tackle and that and and I think ultimately with the cartfish

and you know what's going to get you a bite and it's you know long as you get the finer details
