Our lovely friends from Nash UK & Benelux got us this big box of Citruz sweets the other week to give away with every Monkey Climber order in our online store. These carpy sweets are delicious, we promise not to eat too many ourselves :-)  Speaking of out orders, we are now finishing the last orders we received yesterday and today and then there's no shipping until October the 8th or 9th. It's been three months since I had some proper personal fishing and as soon as work gets out of the way this week, I will kick the van deep...

Daan Biemans: "Karpers houden van insecten, en daarom hebben wij met de Fruitfly boilie een aas ontwikkeld dat de karpers ontzettend waarderen! Deze unieke boilie...

Carpy Online, the German podcast & entertainment phenomenon, started something we wanted to do for a long time but never did because of lack of time. At one point we even wrote a full Keep Your Spot Tidy plan out with Ian Moore and Mike Brown over at CC Moore but again, never worked it out properly. So when we saw this news on the German scene last week, it really made us happy and we contacted our three friends in Carpy Online to hopefully be able to participate in this mega project in future.  What they started up now...
