Cheers Dales, hope you don't mind but I've PM'd you.. Simon

Cheers Dales, Yeah, you can certainly still fish it. I keep trying the rangers office but it always seems to be shut whenever I'm there. I checked the Victoria Park Anglers Alliance website a couple of weeks ago, doesn't appear to have been updated in a while though. I take it you're pretty local..? Simon

Morning All, I've just loaded my reels with 10lb Adrena-Line, never having used it before I have to say that I'm seriously impressed. It's silky, supple and low diameter at .30 so it would appear that I'll be gaining a little extra distance if required. Having said that most of my fishing is within 3 rod lengths of the bank lol. A knot test shows that it breaks at just over the stated breaking strain so so far so good. Not actually used it in a fishing situation as yet but can't wait to get out there with it... Anyone here used it? What's your opinion? Simon

ah, sorry to hear that Elton. I know how you feel though, I've been out of the game for some while now (something I thought would never happen).. The bug's bitten again though ;-)

Hi Elton, Never heard of Oracle Baits. There doesn't appear to be anything about them in the angling press, well not that I can find anyway.. The feedback they're getting on ebay looks pretty good although it has to be said that there appear to be multiple posts from the same people ;-) How about contacting them and offering to test and review for AnglersNet...? Simon

Hi All, Long time no see Does anyone on the forum have any knowledge at all of the West Lake at Victoria Park in East London..? I've done a little research myself and it looks extremely interesting for a number of reasons, not least of which the rumour that the carp originate from the Leney strain..!! It appears to be rather lightly fished with not many fishable swims but does have a few major drawbacks, the fact that it's located right in the middle of a public park is a little off putting lol I've had a couple of reccy visits and chatted up some of the locals on there but as I say it's pretty lightly fished and the regs are a little guarded (understandably so) I'm basically looking for anything that could be helpful to me, going baits, feeding areas, features etc Cheers Guys Simon

Hi Guys, Thanks for the info and the welcome back...... ) I've got a question for Gaffer if he's still around with regards to airdrying / rehydrating bait.. Give me a while to get everything straight in my head and then I'll post it in the appropriate place.. Cheers Simon

cheers Si, I probably should have known that )

Hi Elton (and anyone else that remembers me) I've been away from the scene for quite some time now. It's probably 5 years since I last logged onto anglersnet...! Anyway... I've recently been whetting my appetite againand of course one of the 1st places I decided to visit to get all the latest information and gossip was of course, AnglerNet. Anyway, the problem I'm having is that I don't seem to be able to display threads within the forums in their entirety. What I mean is that I don't seem to be able to scroll to the bottom of the page, is that something to do with my settings..? Cheers Simon

I saw ELV 15 on a clapped out Toyota a few years ago.... wonder how much that plate would be worth? Also, saw Ronnie O'Sullivan's car a couple of years back... CUE 80Y.......

The maximum line length is 3km, over this distance the "loss" is to great to make an appreciable distance to connection speeds...

*lol* reckon you might be right there... I hope you have a cunning plan?

Yep, agreed... Shrub has stated that he wants to enforce a regime change in Iraq and remove Saddam.. I guess he wishes to install a pro-western government... I wonder why that would be?

Fair enough - apologies to all the stud owners out there (*lol* that's the girlfriend appeased then)

Any Dwarfs, people with speech impediments and horses that may visit this forum.... This guy owns a horse stud farm.One day a friend phones him up and says 'there's this dwarf with a speech impediment I know who wants to buy a white horse, so I've sent him round to see you.' Sure enough the dwarf turns up. The owner asks him, 'do you want a male horse or a female horse?' 'A female horth,' the dwarf replies. So the owner shows him a mare. 'Nithe horth,' says the dwarf,'can I thee her eyth?" So the owner picks up the dwarf to show him the horses eyes. 'Nith eyth', say the dwarf, 'can I thee her teeth?' Again the owner picks up the dwarf to show him the horses teeth. 'Nith teeth, can I see her eerth?' the dwarf says. By now the owner is getting a little fed up but again the owner picks up the dwarf to show him the horses ears. 'Nith eerth,' he says 'now can I see her twot?' With this the owner picks the dwarf up and shoves his head deep inside the horses vagina, he holds him there for a second before pulling him out and putting him down. The dwarf shakes his head and says 'Pperhaps I should wefwaze that.Can I see her wun awound?'
