Hello guys and gals. Been a long time posting due to it being a long time since getting the rods wet. Ive just spent 4 days at a Lakeside fishing lodge with my Uncle who is in a wheelchair and had a great few days fishing. Everything was on one level and so I could wheel him from lounge to veranda to start the days fishing. I am calling on the collective mind of the forum to suggest any other Fishing Lodges that allow you to fish from a veranda or a platform directly infront of the lodge to make it easier for a wheelchair angler. I am not after a monster carp lake, infact it wouldn't bother me if it was everything but carp hahaha. but your suggestions would be most welcome. I am Midlands based but we travelled to Lincolnshire for this trip. Thanks in advance John

Could it not be a reference to the German Uboats that used to threaten travling up our rivers? John

Hi guys How is Walcott lake fishing at the moment. My Uncle and dad fished there about 2 Months back and blanked, you could see the bottom about 50yds out but Im hoping somebody out there has bagged up at this once beautiful venue? John

Congratulations tigger in my experience the wifes first response is "have'nt you already got A reel" John

Never will you make me talk, this is even more secret than that secret lake in that secret dvd called the secret lake that you can only by in a secret shop in a little secret village just west of that secret road. psssst read your pm John

Now you havent understood what I have said. These kids are fishing a 2 mile stretch of tributery brook that isnt touched by any club match's or huge days of crowded fishing. this is a 2 - 3ft deep 8ft wide brook that realistically would go un-noticed if the farmer didnt cut the vegitation back twice a year. If they were fishing on the Severn taking up places of paying anglers then I agree throw the book at them but on this little brook the are hurting no one John

There is a local brook by my house that is'nt run by any organisation (as far as I know) and has never seen a balif in its life, its about a 2 mile stretch and is full of wonderful fighting chubb. I have fished it since my dear Mum let me out of the house alone and Im 26 now with kids. I have vowed never to fish this brook during close season and have never ever been down ther without a rod license but I always seem to hold my tonuge when I see the local scum and riff raff off the estate taking time out from smashing phone boxes and robbing grannies to enjoy a spot of fishing. They turn into different people by the bank and will always engage in conversation. I spoke to 2 young lads the other night while i was walking my *WELL BEHAVED, PISCATORIAL TOLERENT*, dogs . When I asked "Had any luck" they replied "We have had some greyling" I was sceptical and didnt really believe them as in all my years I had never seen the good lady down there but one of the youths produced a new "How To Fish" pocket book from his bag and said " We are sure it was one of these with the big fin" and fair play to the lads it seemed they had caught them previously and did not know the identification of the fish, so they went and bought a book (probably with drug money ). Anyway I ramble on, my point is I would prefer to see these kids fishing (even if illegally) than drinking and other intoxicating hobbies on the streets. If you guys dont agree with me I walk the brook every night and will be happy to dispense justice to any young offender John

Its bloody amazing to listen to people who know NOTHING!! about our sport trying to talk about it picking up on various words they have used and associations from telly programs. And what kind of fisherman would throw stones at a pike eating a duck I would be in amazement at there being such a fish in the water rather than throwing stones. Oh well kept me amused. John

Sorry to drag up old posts but I have never read this story and what a story it is, that is something to pass down forever and to have such a wonderfull account and picture its excellent. John

Thats a Strap Conger and your on the cliffs by the seaside I can tell by the flowers honest That is one hell of an eel, you dont mind them destroying your terminal tack when they look like that John

Ok So I set my box up with a Large roller directly to my right and then a rest out infront of me and do I need anything behind me. Sorry for all the questions I have just been invited to a corporate day out at work and its a fishing day, where they have a match with presentation and all that and everyone in my company knows I am a massive fisherman but I have never ever fished a match in my life and dont want to let my lack of match ettiquette/knowledge my downfall =P John

Have'nt Severn Trent just been fined for fudging consumer information aswell, how can we expect them to monitor our beloved waterways. John

LOLOLOLOL ok ok before anyone trys this your house will probably be fitted with a RCD/RCBO protected Consumer unit and thus will trip your house out as soon as you connect it up, if however your house is protected by the old rewirable fuses that you stick a nail accros then make sure you dont put your hands out if you fall over on the wet grass

I envy you guys who can find the beloved Tinca Tinca as all the lakes I have fished in the past 2 years seem brimming with nothing but carp and the odd roach. Anyone got any ideas of good Tench/Bream waters around Shropshire?

Well the carp I am holding in my Avatar was caught 1 rod length down the bank but took about 20 casts to get the line lying right and I wondered if the pole would have handled a 10lber. I set my elastic so it is slightly over length, then lose that in the not of the conector. Is there a generic pole setup for banksticks and rollers and such because I also feel I do not do that correctly? John
