el pescador

In my younger days i used to creep over to the local golf course with a torch late at nite when the worms come out and have a tug of war with the lobs.is anyone still doing this?? used to get enough for a couple of trips and put them in moss to toughen up a couple of days before i was going fishing. THERE IS A KNACK TO PULLING THEM OUT OF THEIR HOLES. DONT PULL TOO HARD OR THEY BREAK IN HALF.

i woundnt dilly dally Eaglet. youve heard from the experts who live there. 3 yrs ago i could have bought a 3 bed house for £15000. now its £45000 for something half decent. Im not waiting any longer and im in the process of buying a small house in a village near the river. he who hesitates is lost so they say. My advise to you is get over to Catalunya area and Valenciana.Get some good maps and do bit of exploring.

As Budgie said its hot enough in Catalunya.Have been there 3 times this year and its been baking. I would imagine the winter is a releif. i would advise Catalunya because as well as the Ebro you have the Segre system 2 hours north from there and its teeming with fish. p.s. you dont catch many fish in bars

Ive been trying at home to pop up frolic,before i get on the bank but to no avail. ive tried foam and cork ,and have been filling the :polo: hole but it still sinks. any one out there dun it. el pescador the spanish fisherman. you dont catch many fish in Spanish bars

Ok then amigos. it looks like im gonna be making pastry this weekend. now i understand Dens drawing. I will let you know the outcome. tite lines and you dont catch many fish in Spanish bars. Only senoritas. Danny

Thanks for all the info. it looks like i gonna try the candle wax first and if no luck book it in for a MOT. There is a company called Aggutersin Ashford. im gonna try them unless someone knows any where near me? Carshalton Surrey. You dont catch many fish in bars !!!!!!!!!!!! Dan

Hello there and I think ive misled all of you?? The prob is when the rod is joined together and flexed there is a knocking noise and its the ferrules not fitting tite together. It still happens when i push the ferrules as close together as i can. I await your advises. tite lines Danny

poledark are you saying that i rough up the male ferrule to make it fit tighter?? tite lines Dan

Ha Ha Spindle but you are wrong there. its the thousands of Chub and Dace and Roach caught in the River Avon years ago plus a few carp from the Ebro too. We may be at cross purposes here. The ferrule is loose when joined together and im worried the top may fly off when i cast. tite lines and await your advice. Dan

Years ago we used to use a small bit of rubber. it was black on the outside and white inside. it never came off and the fish never knew the difference. tite lines Danny

Spindle i thought candle wax made it looser??? Can u confirm?? tite lines dan

When I join the rod together andflex it there is a small knocking sound. The top joint ferrule fits a bit loose in to the butt joint and that is causing the noise. Any guys out there with a remedy. tite lines Danny

I own a Match Areial about 30 yrs old.I noticed recently that the drum moves a bit away from the reel body if you pull it. is that spring that releases the drum from the body some type of adjuster? gracias for any info.

Gracias for all the information. i have now got some power pro braid direct from the USA and saved a Tenner too. delivery took 3 days. p.s. u dont catch many fish in bars

Cheers newt. im off to Spain soon and gonna get spooled up with power pro before i go. Mind you i was there 2 weeks ago and the temp was 40. too hot for fishing but it was nice in the bars.

Fishing on the Ebro in Spain my mate and i were catching every cast as soon as the bait hit the water. For a laugh I put on orange peel and he put on an orange segment and we both caught straightaway.

thanks Steve. i will check out power pro and nash too. Dan el pescador= the fisherman in Spanish. Adios

Can anyone recommend a good Braid. thin diameter but strong around 30lbs bs. The braid needs to be resistant to rocks and boulders. Gracias amigos [ 03. August 2003, 07:25 PM: Message edited by: Gaffer ]

Just to let you all know im off to Spain next week to fish some virgin waters or catch some virgins.You know the old expression " you cant catch Carp in bars" El Pescador = the fisherman

Dont think they can be frozen they probably go to mush. anyone out there know?? just to make you all jealous im off to Spain next week to fish some virgin waters or catch some virgins lol Adios amigos el pescador = the fisherman

You surprise me there Mr. Rudd seeing you are a close relation to the Roach I thought youd like the purple berry. But it may be the still water thing?? Dont give up or try to make some Elderberry wine HIC HIC

good god zappa you must be nearly as old as me,but im glad you confirm this bait is the NUTS. do you know if you can get it in cans or jars???

This is a deadly combination which i have used for many years especially in the Thames for roach.When you are fishing hemp on the hook and the bites are coming thick and fast, put an elderberry on the hook and normally the size of the roach or dace doubles as if by magic. the fish go crazy for the purple berry. the only prob you can only pick em around autumn time, so make a note and try this way of fishing. Anybody out there can you confirm im not mad and am right?

Thanks anthony, i got the polaris but when using 15lb line the float dont slide up the line too good.The Dave thomas ones have a bigger hole etc.,

Does anyone know if you can still get Dave Thomas LOC SLIDE SLIDING LEGER FLOATS??
