Thought I would share this with everyone as with the ammount of advice ive been given and read on AN, its pretty much all down to this site!

My second outing, Stooby and I went to emberton park in Milton Keynes, Only had about 4 hours in total, well missed 3-4 clear chances in the last hour or so, with only half our to go I finally got my first fish! Not the biggest in the world but Im well chuffed!

Cast straight back into the same swim.... got my second! slightly bigger than the first!

With minutes to go I figured the mrs wouldnt mind me being a little late, so I got it back out there, had another on the line but it got unhooked just at the bank sad.gif - My first "the one that got away" - It was a record breaker honest!

Pictures Below biggrin.gif

Are these Roach or Rudd ? How do you tell?

Had a "waggle" of one in the tackle shop yesterday, and thought it felt pretty good, would be nice to have a recommendation before parting with £100 for one smile.gif

In Continental Europe, Asp inhabit similar habitats to Ide, and have a similar range but are there any in the UK. If so has anyone caught one?

Maggots, pinkies, casters, pellets and meat are all prepared.
In a moment I will be off the mix up some groundbait, sort out my gear(double check, its already ready!) and sort out weight nets etc (another double check).
Weather is not looking to bad, the venue has been fishing ok and has just been stocked with 516 8" to 10" Roach which have not deen a hook - nice.
My last match was a winter league match which I had to win to win the league (I won) that put a lot of pressure on me.
The pressure then spoiled my enjoyment of the fishing (until the weigh-in!!!!)

A result would be nice but getting out in some half decent weather without thermals on and as tomorrow is a charity match with no pressure and I intend to enjoy the day out and the banter involved.

Good luck to all venturing out for a dangle tomorrow.

The only thing is that at this time of the year the water would be very cold and so I feel my options of fish to go for may be limited. The water is known for good quality Tench, Perch & Bream (Which I believe are in small numbers, but big) It also contains a few big Carp that I think do not really get targeted.

I am guessing that the Tench fishing would be hard this time of year and I know the Bream are hard all year. So I was thinking that maybe I should concentrate on the Perch and if something else comes along view it as a bonus. Plus maybe put out one Carp rod in the hopes that I could get lucky.

Does this sound like an ok plan considering the time of year and the fact the water will not have warmed up yet. I guess a natural maggot, worm and castor approach may give me the best chance of catching something.]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:25:13 +0000 http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/Attending-work-party-fishing-t2290344.html Have you seen any kingfishers or herons? http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/kingfishers-herons-t2290343.html this rather worrying article, has anyone noticed any drop in heron or kingfisher numbers?

I was looking at Ebay to order some fishing line and I noticed there's a big difference in Strength/Diameter between identical lines offered bij US/UK sellers and sellers from Europe's mainland.

Example:
Stren Microfuse
UK/USA sellers: 10 lb line - 0.20 mm diameter Picture of package 10 lb - 0.20 mm

Dutch company 4,4 kg line (=10 lb) - 0.06mm diameter

Another Example:

Power Pro
US seller: Table of diameter/strength
European mainland sellers: A link with strengths/diameters of Power Pro according to a Dutch site

Again, lots of difference!

This counts for Spiderwire as well.

Does anyone of you have an explanation for this? Is line strength in different countries measured in a different way or with different restrictions?

Well, Went out for my first outing the other weekend (with stooby) - Although I didnt catch a single thing I did have a couple of definate bites, unfortunatly didnt manage to hook anything! The worst thing is, reeling back in the lob I saw the fish chase after it, was only a few feet away from the bank, saw me then disapeared!

I was fishing using a polaris float with a lob attached, however I was having real difficulty reading it and knowing when to strike - Should I treat the polaris much like a waggler? and wait for the float to compleletly submerge (or raise up alot) ?

The float was constantly moving up and down with action but nothing seemed to really take it - Should I be striking when I see it moving a small ammount, say moving 1/2 cm - 1cm or so ?

Tried with the waggler for a bit but I have a feeling I killed the swim with too much groundbait sad.gif

Still a really enjoyable day and was good to actually use my kit for the first time! Cant wait to get back out again!

Cheers,

Craig

If I ever get out fishing again (!!!), expect video footage smile.gif

In all seriousness, I reckon it will be ideal for accompanying reviews. I've often asked for advice on including video footage before and, whilst it's been good advice, Anglers' Net is a extremely time consuming to run and none of them offered me the instant solution I needed. I think this will do the trick!

He cites the BBC's angling website as an example of where he would like to see cuts. 'It might initially appear to be great for the angling community, but if the unintended consequence of that was to drive every angling magazine in the country out of business, you would have to question whether it is appropriate,' he adds.


I didn't realise the BBC had an angling website!
