no doubt EA will soon be adding puppies to the long list of banned baits.

thanks, but I am really trying to find fishing related info hopefully from someone who has fished the venue

whoops that should be "not been able to find much about the venue on the net"

can anybody offer me some info on the above venue please, I have been to find much about it on the net.

glad its not just me that doesnt know what a rattler is

would that be the river lostock

does anyone fish the dock area at preston, I am interested to know if it worth a try

I caught several fish today that i did not recognise, they were very similar to chub but with a prominent lateral line towards the front and rounded dorsal fin. the scales also had a pearly shine to them. the eyes were black and the mouth was chub like. It is possible that they were small chub but are not supposed to be any in the lake i was fishing. I was wondering if they were ide as I have never seen one before and was hoping that someone may be able to provide a link to an ide picture thanks mike

I dont think Ive ever been fishing and not forgotten anything

thanks jem

I have a dvd burner which is dvd+rw format. can this be used to burn onto dvd-r(w) discs cheers mike

Could someone provide some information regards fishing the ribble at mitton, particularly how to get to the stretch, the stretch limits and where to get day tickets. cheers mike

try trolling a large lure slowly around the various rocky outcrops in the north basin, also fish close in

the one with honour blackman was the upper hand, not the best of comedies but nothing can be as bad as the Cr@p the yanks keep on churning out.

thanks for the replies. I will go back with my camera, see if I can se it again

not sure what colour the eyes were. all the pictures of otters ive seen have an off white chest, the animal I saw was shiny chocolatly brown all over. I never saw it in the water. The time I saw it was about lunchtime, the animal didnt seem at all shy, As I walked over the boulders it ran to the opposite end of the boulders, and then the other way when I returned, I repeated this several times until I had got a good look at it and was convinced it was an otter but I must admit that looking at the above pics it prob looks more like a mink.

Had a walk along the ribble (church deeps) yesterday and spotted a mammal about the size of a cat it was a shiny chocolate brown colour all over, quite a wide face, (not weasel like). anyone suggest if it sounds like a mink or an otter? I got several closeup looks as it weaved in and out of the boulders below me.

please could someone give me directions to the section known as church deeps and where to get day / season tickets from. cheers

Anyone done much on the ribble or the river lostock so far this season. Any feedback would be appreciated

A few people who I have contactacted through this forum have recently sent me emails to which I have been unable to reply. I am not being a miserable git I just cant send emails sorry to anyone who I have not been able to contact. Any advice to why I can receive mails but not send would be appreciated. I will keep trying

Just be carefull using cigarette filters, If they come off the hook they can swell up inside the fish then effectively suffocate it [ 07. May 2003, 07:49 PM: Message edited by: mike birtles ]
