  1. I just picked up a allcocks wallis wizzed from a charity shop for a pound it needs a some spares to get it back in to working order and was looking for advice and help. It needs a reel fitting only one and it looks like something screwed in to the butt but not sure what apart from that its good to use any one have any ideas were I could source the bits I need. Cheers
  2. I know it may sound strange but have you tried useing a smaller hook? Ive been haveing the same problem loads of bites but very few hookups went smaller had more fish. I also tried up stream ledgering totting and stret pegging more fish trotting but smaller size stretpegging I hit more bits and a bigger average but the moove out of range I was thinking about useing hair riged fake maggots and only hit a bite when its properly wraped round il give it a go tommorow.
  3. Pur the spool in a bucket of water will help as well rather than trough a pencil
  4. Were abouts would you target a double figure tench around whiltshire area? I can help out with the perch if yoi could help out with the tench.
  5. Been in the same situation a few times but trying to catch dace for perch baits it was harder to catch the bait than a two pound perch
  6. Chew would be a good option if you can get a ticket ive tried for the past couple of trials and no tickits yet some guys I no get five days in a row. Try targeting your local rivers I expermented with a new section of river since october seen no other anglers and had one twenty one just under and adout twenty differnt doubles so might be worth targeting your local river.
  7. My pb was caught on a dead bait so was aleast 5 other anglers I know.,what bait or method has caught yours? Lure, live or dead bait would be interested to no. cheers
  8. All the dead baits float fished statics and a patanostra for the live baits. Yes I have fished live baits in the same swim as deads on the same session but not at the time. last week my mate who I let fish in my swim had a 19 10 and 12 8 on deads in between them a small jack on a live bait about the same size if not bigger than the dead baits. My question is if you target larger pike should you stick to useing dead baits as a general rule?
  9. Over the last ten or so pike trips I have done dead baits seem to be the method for selecting the larger pike. I seem to cath same sort of numbers as I do useing live baits but the average size is smaller. The baits are around the same size I just havent had many jacks on dead baits and fished in the same swims were live baits seem to catch jaks. Is this standard are the bigger specimens say uppe teens low twentys lazy?
  10. Find the prey find the pike. Try cover water by casting in a clock work pattern. Also change the speed and depth of your ratrive what lake are you fishing?
  11. I have been fishing the streach of water recently with mixed resualts. Went out today and had a bite a chuck from the off unfortunatly nothing bigger than a few once dace and roach however fished the same swim on thursday and a good day with the average fish being 6oz up the around a pound mark. Condition were very simular but a totaly differnt outcome any thoughts? do roach shoal up in the same year class or will you get fish range from a few onces up to a pound and a half in the same shoal?
  12. Cheers for the info about keeping casters some things to try out. So how and what equipment will I need to turn casters. Just from shop bought maggs?
  13. Can you freeze them and still use them as a bait once they have thowed?
  14. Nice to see people thinking if it works for you and how you fish great.
  15. Ive been doing a bit of perch fishing recently with good resualts however I am sure there are bigger fish around. ive mainly been useing live baits around 3oz and catching fish up to 3lb. But in the last couple of sessions ive had perch of around a pound takan on the way in by bigger pearch how big would a perch be,to eat another 1lb perch. And with out useing another perch for bait what would you use? Has this happaned to any of you guys? Cheers
  16. G line is the stuff iam useing at the moment, its very hit and miss, getting fed up with loseing fish. cheers
  17. I am haveing problems finding a decent hook length line what do you guys use? Mainly for feeder fishing in clear water for course fish. looking for options in 2 4 6 lb range. cheers
  18. i have been trying to wright a report for some time now. however i do not know how to upload my photos? can anybody help?
  19. After all of this talk of river carp I had to dust of my carp rods and get out on the bank. I went for an exploration session last night and actually had a carp on the end of my line and it was a big fish. Unfortunately it had not been hooked by my hook some other angler had hooked the fish and then snapped of leave it to trail around 30 yards of line which I then got tangled up with leavening me to reel the fish in. Were the line hand wrapped round my lead, I could not reel my line in any more so hand to try and hand line the 30 yards of line, that was attached to the carp. Got the fish right to the bank and the hook pulled leavening me with a death rig. A three once fixed inline lead and a hair rig which was very neatly tied but no fish. I will be back later on in the week to see if I could hook one properly or find out whos line it was an have words.
  20. Ive never fished a river with crays in it, Do they eat everything? iam i right in thinking they are signal crays? could you use them as bait? do they only eat static baits or will they take a trotted bait or a bait suspended in mind flow. the only issue i have about leaveing a bait on the bottom of the river is the longer you leave it the more likely an eel is to eat it. Could you eat the crays?
  21. There are quite a few carp in my local river finding them is normally the difficult bit, lucky you, I would recommend spreading the bait over a 30 yard area to start of with in a lose fashion say throw them in buy hand if you can to get a good spread. Do this for a week or so to get the fish actively searching for the bait and in time reduce the size of the area to were you would put your bait and concentrate your feed there. I have seen carp mop up baits without a care in the world right at my feet when they have a bit of confidence in the bait, but introduce a new bait in the mix a they would steer well clear of it. Make sure your gear is well up to the task I thought that the fish would be rig shy but they weren’t and I got out muscled with a few times until I upped the gear. River carp are a different beast from there commercial brethren be in for a good fight. Rig wise a used a simple as possible but I did critically balance the baits. I feed check peas and boiles over a period of weeks.
  22. i have had some massive bleak so far, the were like mini tarpon almost 4inch long whats wrong with a photo of one of them?
