Trying to devise ways i can quit work and fish.....seems that all plans work themselves back to being skint for bait and living in a bivvy ! :confused: Mind you if anyone out there has a plan.........

  8. i agree with the last post... WMAC offer great value when you know what your after...as is the case with most mail orders !! Being new generally to fishing and carp fishing after a while you get a feel for better products and value. The Angler's Net has helped me to come to conclusions over products !! Its good to read advice from people who have tried and tested different products !! As for bite alarms i am using 2 optonics that are 3rd hand and have been repaired & serviced..when i have a fish they still let me know !! Besides what wrong with observing your bobbins if your starting out...they wil tell you whats happening out there in rig land !
  9. HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! ( A DAY LATE! )
  10. I would do what i wanted...if thought it would go back then so be it...if i were to eat it then yes i would take it.If nature takes care of it then who am i to mess with this !! No law is going to make me commit a murder on an animal....if it were spreading a terible disease then out of interests of nature then i would "CULL IT" this being the only time would mess with nature....no law should force me kill anything !! Besides you only have to take a look at our oceans to realise its about time someone made clear what should be saved and what shouldn't !!

  12. Hi Gaffer How goes it ? I mentioned earlier that i leave mine in a glugg pot with virtually no glug to give it a wee bit of smell....these things really work....what do you think gets the takes...curiosity,the fact that its bright colour or the fact it is popped up will fly up in the fishes mouth easier....OR something different ? Do you use it yourself ? cheers

  14. A good point... i have put the pieces into a pot with some flavour to combat this...pricey for what it is but the shapes do look the same as the freebies....on several ocassions its been these pieces just popped up off the bottom that have got me fish on what would have been a blank day !

  18. My opinion is that barbless hooks are better for the big fish as pressure is kept on easier. Smaller fish tend to bump off barbless small hooks. As for playing i think it has much to do with the possibility of damage. this weekend for example i was fishing a lake which actually has fallen into disripute to some degree , but some good carp in there and not much else.I had one run,a real good take,i lifted the rod to play the fish and realised the line had got caught around a branch (as i said the lake has not been fished for a while and the trees really needed to be cut away !) I was not in control of the fish completely and after releasing the line it made it to the weeds and snagged...Now it had worn itself out due to being tethered and it took my cousin a couple of minutes to free it. When we inspected the fish the mouth had been torn by the hook....i reckon if the chaos with the snagged fish had not have happend the hook damage would ahve been minimal.But with it being stuck it was trying to get off the hook and this caused the damage. We put some ointment on the wound and let him fully recover !! So i would agree on how the playing of fish could be a reason for damage...but i'm sure that bullying a fish on a tight line does not damage like a tethered fish or someone pulling out of a fish through bad angling.

  22. Does anyone know where to find the "screaming run" ring tone for mobile phones !!! You know the one that sounds like a bite alarm peeling off !! Need to wind up my cousin who it seems is unable to wake up for bites in the night.....plan is to get the ring tone and see just how long it is before he wakes to get to the rods ....before anyone points out the obvious and says " you should not fish if your not on your rods !!" We only fish together and i am always on the rods no matter what time of day or night !! Anyway any know about the ring tone ??? CHEERS !!
