Oh well as long as nobody was hurt! What about the fish protection http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/news/510401/Fi...ridgeshire.html

Yes they do. Feed little ie three maggots per cast everything must be so fine, small and colourful ie red maggots. I can catch Chub on bread, Pike will feed mid day and Perch at any time. If you are brave enough to go fishing the fish are there but tactics are very much different. Oh casters work well on commercials Good luck.

The fishing permission officer says I am like an expectant Dad checking the weather forecast every hour to se when I can go fishing again. So sorting my images may help me calm down

I have been detecting for years with a C scope it is a good model to use. I am lucky to use beaches where my weights and traces are re used from finds. I often find old coins, cutlery and army stuff I don't do fields as there is so much to find on the beaches.

A nice packet of Partridge trebles or a pair of Pike Rods.

I wont publicise the fish in the river due to it being open for offers but It is very much worth fishing, it may be small but it is a fantastic stretch. The only good thing about Commercials is that it keeps the rivers free for us serious anglers, imagine how full our banks would be if there were no commercials!

Yes will do, It may be a small river but the fish are of good quality.

Who cares. nothing to do but fish?. I wish my rivers were a bit better, its not the cold its the rod rings freezing that gets my goat!

BTW if anyone wants to help me get a syndicate together to rent that stretch of River please let me know, then I will tell u what is actually in there. I may be able to get the stretch for a very nominal fee.

I have never been so unsettled, Not being able to fish for a week is making me go potty, my missus wants me out of the way as I am driving her nuts. Hope to be out over xmas once it warms up a bit and the river dont flood up

I always tell people to buy the best you can afford.

You know I have always had the Mitchell 300 I never known a better reel. Never stopped me catching some great specimans

Its a Dace Cramo. Plenty of them outside my house I can see them in the clear water at dusk

Nice to meet you, we are a secretive lot ya know. but we love newbies, so where u fish mate?

Will we see the England Angling Team on S.P.Y on BBC1? I doubt it!! Every year we live in hope.

between -10 and -4c here in Beccles. I cant go fishing but can read classics like "Roach the Gentle Giants" and "Pike" by John Bailey. They enthuse me!

Well Friday was crap, frozen rod rings and -10 temps drove me away but later in the day I took the spinning rod out but nothing was caught. It was the worst day I have been fishing Weather wise for some years but you know us anglers have to be there. I have some time over Xmas and will be targetting the Chub that have appeared in the middle stretches of my local river. Also some decent Perch will be the target too as some have been reported in our local cut. What plans do you all have for the Xmas period?

Now firstly let’s go back to 1982. Now did my father purposely buy me a fishing set three weeks before the river season opened on June 16th yes readers all! Rivers and still waters, club or private were closed from 15th March to 16th June. To an almost 13 year old boy the mounting excitement of that magical day was prepared for by reading the angling weeklies and walking the river banks fired with so much enthusiasm for my new sport I would spend hours there. Would the keenness have been there if I went to the river the day I received his lifetime gift. Yes of course but the anticipation of the 16th June was so stimulating I loved it (and still do.) There was nobody to teach me I was alone and as soon as that day arrived I was on my bike, new rod set up for immediate fishing in hand and straight down to the River Hundred. The village Angling Club rented that stretch and here I cut my teeth on the fishing. It was my training ground and I landed some nice Rudd, Roach and Tench often by early morning or late evening visits sometimes I would be there all day. Come the winter months I would fish for Pike catching a 15lb 6oz Pike in the autumn of 1985 with my late best mate Charlie. Soon into adult hood I moved away but the River Hundred never left me. I returned season after season catching a great number of species of many baits often trying out new rigs on the stretch. Jump to 2010 and while waxing about the River Hundred in the tackle shop I was disappointed to hear that the club stretch has been given up. No more will village kids go down there and fish in safety but may be attracted to those terrible Carp puddles and the commercial angling waters. These fish may be safe from sporting folk but it was so sad to hear one of my favourite waters was laying fallow for all time. I have some good news, my nephew, the first in my family has taken up the sport of angling and I hope he will follow in my footsteps as an all rounder. I have witnessed the growth of easy angling in the shape of these holes in the ground and now although another stretch of wild river has been laid low there are still some Rivers and even ponds where monsters lurk. Although I cannot write about contemporary visits I have enough in the cupboard for anecdotal stories. I hope these will be of interest and remind these Hundred anglers what they are now missing.

I dont see the point I have never blanked and my local river is so full of pike it is just awaste of time

Being so close in I would free line a deadbait or a roving live bait.

3lb 6oz
