  1. post-1387-1336600004_thumb.pngSteve, I here what you say re banksticks. I have however got a solar globetrotter pod with 38 inch front legs when fully extended as per the attached piccy. Will this suffice or do you still suggest the single sticks? Stuart
  2. Neal,

     

    For any info on Les Quis suggest you phone and speak to the guys at The Tackle Box in Dartford on 01322 292400.

     

    Can't comment on Croix Blanche as a fishery but I did have a long chat with Gareth at one of the Carp Society Conferences and he seemed a good guy.

     

    Re Maleon, I was out there this time 5 years ago. It's changed hands since 1998 but I will private mail you re my experiences from back then.

     

    What about GTS tours to Jonquoy. Don't over-look Tim Clegg-Jones organised trips to this small (by French standards) but awesome lake. Top Bloke, Top Fishing and 1st Class Service. Strongly suggest you phone Tim or Ali for a chat on 01435 860739 before committing to anywhere else. Check out the website www.gtstoursltd.com.

     

    Hope this helps ???.

  3. Had a walk around last weekend. V-nice set-up but not for me !!!.

     

    Membership costs £75 per year (1st Jan-31st Dec) plus £12 per 3 rod day or £20 per 3 rod 24 hour (the longer you stay the cheaper it gets).

     

    Membership covers North lake and Pullens, there will be a 3rd membership lake opening later this year to be included .

     

    North lake is 6 acres and stocked with approx 250 carp up to 40lb, 30 catfish up to 50lb and lots of pike to 25lb.

     

    Pullens is 3 acres and stocked with only carp from mid doubles to early 30's.

     

    Also 4 x mixed Carp / Coarse Lakes available on a day ticket.

     

    Check the website as follows:-

  4. Never had them myself but the bloke I sit with at work bought 3 and couldn't wait to sell them on after he'd used them once !!!.

     

    He said they were not for him as they were too heavy / un-responsive and that he dropped several fish on them but with regards to casting they could chuck a big bait miles !!!.

  5. Whoopy doooo - so there's two new appointments at the Carp Society.....

     

    It doesn't however make a blind bit of difference to the fact that the £25'ish for membership is in my opinion still way over the top for what's on offer !!!.

     

    Used to be a member up until 2 years ago but not anymore. That's not to say I wouldn't re-join if the membership package was made substantially more attractive !!!.

     

    Come on Mark & Ian.....show us what you're made of !!!.

  6. Marky,

     

    I'm not in the habit of helping ManUre fans but as you fish as well here goes....

     

    I know that the Tackle Box in Dartford hire them out.

     

    The phone number's 01322 292400.

     

    Give them a go however I dread to think what the courier charge would be as Dartford's miles from Shropshire.....£20 maybe ???.

  7. Gaffer....I thought you were the 'Oracle' as far as carping was concerned !!!.

     

    What I'm interested in is the 'Liquid Bag-It'. According to the article in Carpworld March 2002 it's oil based so it allows you to put wet particles etc in PVA bags and cast out without the bags melting until they hit the water.

     

    There's a photo with the article from which I can get half the phone number but I cant make out the whole thing. Maybe I'll phone the Carp Society as JC apparently had a stall at the last conference.

     

    Rgds,

  8. You only need to make one call.......phone The Bivvy Hospital on 07812 588410

     

    I managed to split an ally pole on my Hutchy Apothesis :o and it was repaired and back with me within 48 hours of sending it off :D .

     

    They can either supply/make up new poles or replace the broken section.

     

    Top service or what !!!.
