After trying for Pike a few times recently and failing miserably ive decided to go for other coarse species. Ive decided to try Crofton lake which is pretty near to me so i was just wondering what coarse fishing is like at the moment and if its worth the effort? (And i know pike fishing is pretty dire, i don't need any one to tell me that1 ) Also if anyone has been to Crofton if they could tell me if it is any good, or recommend a better fishery? Cheers

That is so cool!

Hi im a local to the Kewsick area and ive heard that the river Derwent is good for trout and salmon. But ive never fished it and dont know which places to try. So can anyone tell me any decent places and where i would get a permit? Thanks. p.s. the area around Bassenthwaite and Derwent water.

Thats one big mother f*8£%ng Pike!

Ahh, thats interesting. Cheers.

Yeah thats what i thought but i ws just making sure. I live in cumbria but ive got some experienced people to go with. They fish the area that we are going to just about every weekend and have done for ages, but thanks for the offer. Just gotta hope the weather plays its part now!

Ive got a load of frozen mackrel in the freezer that i use for sea fishing. So what i was wondering was if i could use them for dead baiting for pike (frozen that is) or would i have to thaw them out first? Also, how do you find the test curve for a rod?

Yeah well i doubt that they will get rid off all 6000 fish and the ones that dont go are going to get buried (im presuming alive when they fill the lake in). So i dont see why you wouldn't feel sorry for them!

Shame that. Poor fish.

Port carlisle is always good for flounder. Mackrel is the best bait in my opinion. Rig shouldnt matter too much, probably a 2 or 3 hook flapper. Ive been to beckfoot twice and had no luck. But other people were catching bass. They used black lug dug up from Flimby. This is a good website to try: http://www.whitbyseaanglers.co.uk/sea-fishing-in-cumbria.php

Hello Carl. Ive been sent the price list and information etc. and as you just said, cumbria isnt a top fishing venue. I was just wondering what recent trips have been like and whats been caught (thats the 6/8 hour trips)?

Good on ya lad! If i could give you a biscuit i would

Theres only been 36 views so you never know...

Hello, im fancying going out on a charter boat for fishing with my family and the closest one ive found is in Whitehaven (Tigerlilly 3). I was just wondering if anyone has been on this boat and could tell me if its any good. Cheers.

Thats shocking. Kids nowa days eh! I would move on, fishing just isnt fishing when a group of idiots spoil everything for you. Just go fishing when they are at school.
