The Thinking Tackle Podcast.

How many times do you go a day?

It depends on many.

It's easy mics. So it's not that many. On average? Well, the key one is night, in it? How many times to get up in the night? Never. No, I don't. He just pisses himself. Oh, neither do I then. No, I don't. No, I don't. No, never. No, I never. But I deliberately don't, like, even if I need a drink at a certain time at night, I don't,

I literally don't. I don't. But I deliberately don't, like, even if I need a drink at a certain time at night, I don't, I literally don't have it because I think I don't want to get up in the night. I drink a bottle, is it two, what's that, or this? Yeah. I drink one of them as I go to sleep at night. You do you. And you don't get out? No. Powerful bladder. Yeah. Yeah, but are you in pain in the night? You think I should ain't getting up? Yeah, bad. Yeah, agony.

Really stink.

Absolute agony. No. Powerful bladder. Yeah. Yeah, but you're in pain in the night? You feel like saying getting up?

Yeah, bad.

Agony.

Absolutely agony.

Yeah. Okay, right. Shall we start? Yeah, yeah, go on it. Let's start. Right, first of all, let's just say thanks to everyone that has listened to the last one. Yep. sure that was going to be received, new concept, but everyone seems to like it.

Got some really good feedback. We've had loads of messages, loads of ideas for questions and topics going forward. But we did obviously talk about what you guys were all up to in the last episode. We've had shoots coming up. So for this one, I think we'll pick a couple of questions out towards the middle or the end of the podcast. But for now, I think we just have a quick catch up and what you've been up to.

Yeah.

I've had quite a few messages to reply to people saying, have you really not caught a UK 50s? Oh, yeah. We're getting out there early? You're going to have done that. No, I had that when it was on the agenda. It might be. It will come up again, I'm sure. When we start with you, Tom, you've obviously been in down a thinking tackle, so who'd you do that with and what went on?

So I went to Carplantis in Northern Netherlands. It was actually, originally it was meant to be with Spooner and Fairbrass was going to be filming with Pierre Maier. Pierre Maire. Pierre Maire. Yeah, yeah. Pierre mea. But Dan couldn't end up doing the thinking tackle.

So me and my best friend Spooner was split up and Spooner went to France with Pierre and I went to Carplanitis with Daryl.

And obviously since September, it's a deep lake, we originally thought we were going to be catching them in the edge,

which would have been different to when we went at the end of August a few years ago.
