I was looking around the other day for a list of this years TOP bait but only came across a few new abits on offer from dynamyte (sorry for my spelling!). but none ranked by anglers them self Is there andy where i can look for TOP bait??? Martin

I am off to Hawkhurst on the weekend i have been there a few times and fished the main lake, but my friends have booked up the Dove Lake 2 of them have fished the lake before but i havent! I was just wondering if any1 had any good tips/hint about that the lake. I have laready got mny bait sorted, i am using the exact same bait i used on the main lake, lets hope it works. Maze and Jumbo Hemp What do you all think any ideas???? Martin

trying to look at the link but nothing is happening! martin

have u been on ur trip yet?? how did u get on?? martin

if i could drive i would love to take u up on that offer! maybe 1 day i hope! martin

have fun!!!!

No it is Stone in KENT Just up from the dartford bridge!

this is gonna sund really weird but i fish the the thames (between Gravesend and Stone) and was wondering if any 1 has managed to catch a decent size bass from the thames! I know of some bass coming out but not many and if they have they are small! I do alot of my sea fishing there because i havent got transport and can walk to it. Is it best to cast far out or close in??? Martin

sounds interesting! Lets us know how u get on Dan!!! Martin

I think for the time being i am gonna leave leadcore alone! Cheers for the info all! Martin

cheers guys i think the best thing for me to do is to go and have a good look at them!! martin

I have been looking around for some web sites on leadcore and i fount this 1!! http://www.carp-uk.net/rigs/leadcore/leadcore.htm martin LOL I bet they would!!

I am about to buy the new Nash Venoms and was wondering what people thought of them! I have had my eye on the since they came out last year and have been fixed on them since! I was hoping to find out some info about them, see what other they are like to use. Its a shame that you cant have a test run on fishing gear (do a days fishing then decied), but then again people would take advanteg of this and never buy fishing gear just borrow it! Any ways i would be really greatfull to hear your views!! Martin

thats a shame, we might have been able to get cheaper bait from the new owner!

it is intersting how the debate about leadcore is still going on! for many of yeards all weights were made of lead and they have slowly changed over the years! its funny that something that is so good at catching fish has in the end turnt bad! i do admit that its down to the fishermen/women that catch fish but still there are so many things that are harmfull to the fish!! some times i wonder if fish could talk what would they say but hey they cant talk!!! but who knows in 1000 years time maybe they will talk to back to us lol!! WHAT WOULD THEY SAY??? LOL

Did you find out if any1 bought it in the end Elton?

cool! well have fun and happy fishing!!

i fount by using alighter line it didnt sink as much! are you using fake dogbiscuits that also floats better!!

After reading that i am thiking along the lines not to use leadcore! But i only use the helicopter rigs as the lake i fish mainly has a bit patch of silt! But if a normal rig cracked of in a fishes mouth it would still be bad so i am still a little confused. For now i am gonna stick to normal rigs for safety!

When are you next in kent! I fish hawkhurst alot and thats where my 30lb came from (from the main lake!!) Try it some time!! It costs me £30 - £35 per 24hr but its worth it! i would upload a picture but it wont let me! some time i fill its a bit to posh for me lol ALL I CAN SAY IS TAKE UR OWN FOOD THE CAFE IS WELL PRICEY! they do a good deal on pelets. not sure if it 20kilos for £25 or 25kilos for £20 not sure any size pellets as well! Martin

i am guessing there is none!!!! let me know if there is 1 i wil join! martin

i understand where u are coming from Rob!! So the best thing is not to use it unless u know what u r doing!! martin

there will always be 2 sides to bait boats but some ppl like em and other dont!! i met a few exprienced fishermen in there late 50's and 1 uses a boat where as the other 1 doesnt. but looking at in their point of view alot of the older anglers it gets harder to cast, so by using a boat helps them out! but i understand what Rob is sayin ppl do abuse it and sneak into your swim, they say "they didnt know" but full well they do! i am neither for or against the bait boat because it has its advantages and disadvantages!!!!! martin

thats a very good point Rob that is wat i am worried about! i have already caught a few carp that have had rigs still in their mouths where ppl dont know wat they are doing!! i am gonna have to research into to it more! any suggestions where to look????? martin

The other day i was having a chat with a few fishing mates and we got onto the subject about leadcore! 1 was against it and 1 was for it but neither 1 explained why. Basically i am after information on both the good side and the bad side of using leadcore! I have wanted to try it as i have heard about a few results my mates have. I am trying to chase a new pb, as they have reach the 30's i need to try some new tactics to get the bigger 1's. All help/information will be greatfully recieved. Martin
