Rods, 2 or 3. Rules permitting.

Yep, started to get dark at 8 last night. And for the rain, indeed, 2 weeks of hot weather and thats it. I cannot moan tho as i'm florida for 2 weeks on 14th of September. Can i brag somemore?

Tight so when a fish is playing around with your bait it moves the wheel inside the bite alarm which causes it to makes bleeps so it informs you somthing is feeding. I always use bobbins/swing arms to keep the line tight. And what do you mean by " How should i have my reel " what reel do you have?? if you have a bait runner then flip the bait runner. If you dont have a bait runner. Loosen your spool so you can pull line freely with your little finger. Once your alarm geos off yank your rod while holding the spool so that when you yank it because theres weight behind it, it deosnt just pull line off. Once you have hooked the fish, tighten the spool obv.

Sounds brill day. Now start catching 30 +

Didnt know him but R.I.P Pal!!

Cheers going to look at getting this DVD that you mentioned. And indeed Rob. I would really be p*ssed off spending all this money to go france fishing for a week and blank.

Niceone Mate. How much did it weigh??

Orite Next January im going to go to France for a week for carp fishing on me jack todge. Now has anyone here been to france carp fishing from the UK?? If so could you give me some information, like.... what are the best lakes, what gear you took, how you got there e.t.c and stuff like that??? Cheers

Cheers

Any pictures of this lake btw?

Hey fella. New set up doing very well. Was so pleased ordered another rod and reel the same as the ones i got in that package so can use a matching set of 3. And yep i have christened them.. had 4 out the week i got them, 13 carp last weekend and 7 weekend just gone .. 24 on them up to yet. Biggest being 22, so all good very pleased with them.

Imo try using one rod with a 3oz weight or somthing with pva a bag. For the other try using a method feeder. Don't know where you fish but the 3 lakes i normaly fish at boilies are doing very well. Pineapple, Tiger Nuts, and marine boilies are storming away at the mo. Try giving them a go.

I wouldnt even go there imo fella. Spend a few extra pennys. If you havn't got money to spend on kit then this cheap 42" carp landing net might interest you: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/42-Deluxe-Landing-Ne...1QQcmdZViewItem

Yup, just got back from a weekend session... Friday - Sunday and didnt do aswell as normall, imo the weather has caused the problem as the weather here has gone from freezing to 29degrees in the matter of a week.

lol at the google video...... amazing, what fish are they???

Orite guys. Could someone give me a link to a website that will tell me step by step on how to do the " Simple Braid Rig For Carp " so i can print it off and give it a go. Never used this rig and have seen a fair old few people use it. I have searched for a step by step guide myself but couldnt find anything. Cheers, Matty

Indeed, feel sorry for who ever it was.

Why are they hard for they shouldnt be if you just brought them from a fishing tackle shop??? i fish with tiger nuts alot and i just put a boilie needle straight through them and straight on a high rig with no problems what so ever.

I would say 12lb fella. That's all i ever use.

Its doing my nut in too pal. Bloody sick off it, not only for work but for fishing too. Luckly tho its not effecting the feeding at the lakes i fish but just a shame i cannot sit outside of the tent without getting drenched please please rain o go away

Only A Few Bits To Sell As Need Pennies For New Kit. Will Add and update as i go along: x 2 Supreme Bite Alarms: x 1 Pod Stand: Anyone Intersted??? Offers???

Neither have i and i spend alot of time on fleabay.... seems way to cheap to be true imo. Matty
