I would upload a pic but it seems not to be letting me! Martin

I went fishing last weekend only for 24 hours and i managed to catch a new PB Mirror at 27 1/4lbs. it felt good when i finally banked the fish because i hav blanked for the last 5 times fishing! I will try and post the pic up abit later! Martin (FaTzy)

Hi all i was wondering the other how to make it faster to bait my rigs up. i was told about putting clips on my mainline so i could clip my rigs on and off. I started to try this and fount it much eaiser and quicker to change my bait. But i have a problem i dont kno what is the best safety clip to use to. Any suggstions?? Thanks All Wet Lines!

I always go for my favourite but thats me. It depends how big u want the box, but to be honest i dont always buy expensive stuff! what need to look at is willl all ur bits go into the 1 box and will it make u happier! martin

To be honest if u only go fishing for a max of 2 days then ur trakker shud do the job! ur bivvy was built for light weight. but my suggestion is to go fishing with 1 bivy and then go again a with the toher 1 and decided what makes u feel comfrtable sleeping in and comfprtable carrying! martin

I am abit down in the dumps at the moment because i havent managed to go fishing for a few weeks now. so i thought to cheer me up a bit i was thinkin why not find out how every1 is doing. if i dont catch when i fish i love to see at least some catch!! So go on give us your catch reports Martin Wet Lines

Sorry to hear about that Dave, was all the lakes booked up? its always gd to ring ahead!! To be honest with u dave i dont know it was a basic set up with a 18mm fusion boilie on it was in the middle of the lake. so to honest that catch was more down to luck! i will go into more detail for ya another time! have a go with mainline baits they seem to do well!!!!! they like their paritcle as well! Martin - FaTzy

I wish i can make my own boilies i have alays dreamed about making some. any books out there that mite help. like a step by step guide??

lol they still find a way of getting in even with the lid on!!! all ur bait gone then?

I wish i had transport now to get to these places!!

Just a link for any1 who is interested in whats going on in this years comp!!!! http://www.britishcarpchamps.co.uk http://www.britishcarpchamps.co.uk/venues08.html Martin

White Chocolate Boilies were the first bait i have ever used but i didnt catch on them, but looking back on it i realised i didnt know as much as i do now about carp fishing. So i mite give them a go again and let u know wat happens. But if they are working in ur local lakes then keep using them, be carefull that u dont kill the bait off!! Wet Lines Martin

Depends which lake you are fishing depends on what you will need to use. For your first night i was say use both. 1 on each rod see what happens and try things see how they get on, if the fish are feeding then they will find ur bait! Wet Lines Martin P.S. Let us know how u get on! HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!

Have u considered trying different shape boilies??? Are even going onton particle baits on ur hook bait????

I wish i had a grand i would have it for myself but where would i put it LOL!!!

I frequently got to HFF (Hawkhurst Fish Farm). What a place to be its a lovely complex and if u guys want a shower u can lol.Whatch out for the ducks the owner of HFF loves his ducks so they can be pricey and there are loads!My advice is to try and find a deep part of the water as the lakes are not that deep.The main lake always feeds well off mainline baits and paritcles. you can buy pellets and other stuff from the baliff , (he is alright, watch out for his jokes). The lake is 3 ft deep in most places u will have to find the deeper bits, but there are some out there. dont worry too much about the islands as the slop away, so come a rod length off the island.Yes you can use boats on there!There are some nice fish in the lake i hve had a 30lb common out of the main lake.The dove lake i havent had much expiernce on but they say the smalles fish is 20lbs, but what i have heard it is a hard lake to fish!The match lake is as it says a match lake but u can fish it for 12hours if u want just ask the baliff!The Cafe is a bit pricey so take ur own and there has been a tackle shop opened in the last few months so they will be able to help u out a bit. its a shame i wont be down there this weekend i would have pop and seen u both, let a few more tips out !WET LINES Martin P.S. Let us know how u are getting on and the freshwater informer 9 times out of 10 have a ctach report on HFF Elton the prices have gone up since that article£30 for 24 hour on the main lake£35 for 24 on the Dove lake!

Hows it going now then?? Martin

havent been myself but have a few friends that like fish wylands. i will try and see what they say for ya! Martin

It all souns interesting. what i am going to do is give it a go with a mixture of maze, hemp and sweetcorn on the spud and see what happens! I will let you all know if it is any gd!! wet Lines All! Martin

Yes i have had a crazy idea again lol. I was sitting there eatting my sunday roats dinner and i was thining about sweetcorn (i dont useually have it on my roast but i couldnt say no as i was a mates house, then i started thining i know that some fish eat it and some others dont (the same with maze!), but i was playing with my peas in my gravy and it came to me DO FISH LIKE GARDEN PEAS????? So now i have a few question for everyone... 1. Do fish like garden peas of any type of peas?? 2. Will peas harm fish
