  1. Oh well then try fishing in a stock pool, or take him to a small river, teach him natural History first so he gets to know about the flies he will use and start him off on a foundation course. Dont rush him and let him take his time to become an angler

  2. Any Carp Puddle will do, If you have a great deal of patience then try the local River so he has a proper apprenticeship. But if you want to catch fish straight away then go to a Carp Puddle

  3. Surely us anglers pay for bankside Policing by purchasing the rod licence. I think we need through the freedom of information act to request just what the EA actually do to patrol the fisheries and rivers and prosecute anglers. Like the Police we never ever see them being proactive.

     

    Without the regular patrols there will never be a result to this business

  4. Well since my local Tench water changed from club water to Day ticket the water has actually improved. why? The day ticket owners employ bailiffs who patrol at regular intervals. Litter bugs are immediately told to pack up and leave (with a ban)

     

    IMHO some day ticket owners like another down my road just want the money and sod the fish care, litter or troublesome anglers. It is, it seems a double edged sword.

  5. If you owned a day ticket fishery and it was being ruined by day ticket anglers, would you ban them and rent to a club?

     

    I have witnessed some poor anglers on my local fishery but I would not tar them all with the same brush.

     

    Some day ticket anglers cannot afford to join a club. Close call but if I was an owner I would just ban the litter bugs and bad anglers.

  6. Mixed bag of Roach and Prech on float fished Lobs and Bread flake. Bloody Crayfish at it again the river is flowing very slow and the baits are just not lifted off the bottom on the high tide atm.

     

    One angler nearby kept shouting he had some big fish but when I asked to see then in his keep net he made excuses.

     

    Still another day tommorrow back on the River.

  7. Looking to replace an old fixed spool reel with a new one would like a reel with shallow spools for light lines and one deep spool. It will be a general reel for trotting feeder and specimen fishing. It is a minefield re reel choice but one is hoping to cut corners by asking you guys. budget £100.

     

    Thanks

  8. Always a close call, I would have dialled 999 straight away.

     

    It;s not racist mentioning them (EE's) but they are very problematic. Thankfully they EE's are eating the Muscovy Ducks.

     

    remember to have your say on the EA site about taking fish from Freshwater venues

  9. I would agree with budgie. i have tended to find sizable bream are mainly nocturnal feeders. Though you can catch them during the daylight hours. I am not a fan of bright conditions though, Much prefer a bit of cloud cover. September and october can be a good time for serious breaming.

     

    I have always found the most important thing with bream is location. Once you find them and get to know there patrol routes they can be very predictable. Especially on large pits and lakes

     

    I agree that Bream can be caught at night but mainly this is due to boat traffic on my river. My catch of Bream yesterday were in broad daylight in 8' of water, It was rather clear but I still caught.

     

    In my local lake they feed all day but there can be bubbles in my swim but they are so finiky often just sucking in the bait and sitting there. Hence my float set up has to be very sensitive.

  10. Blessed nuisance fish! Pretty one though. Did you sling it up the bank in true carpy fashion? Wait until you catch Great Granny, she's out there, well over forty pounds.

     

     

    Is she now! No I weighed it, photographed it and did not even put it in the keepnet.

     

    Best Wishes
