  1. Im back home now. i got there at 9.30 in hard rain and wind and began to wish i never came. At about 12 the rain stopped and the wind died down and i hooked into a 5lb carp. About 1 hours later i had another and just as i was about to leave i had another. 12lb in total :D Very happy! I didnt think it was possible in winter . Just proves that the "Don't feed the fish" technique works a charm. How was your day Newt?

  2. Tomorro im going to try my local still water. The temp. will be between 5-12oC and i think i am in with a chance. Im going to throw out a method feeder (meaty marine groundbait only) with a single soaked pellet (crazy baits), with no loose feed. While that is on the alarm im going to have a play with the pole, using worm/meat/sweetcorn on the bottom. Im going to feed a little bit here. Do you think i'll catch? I think im doing everything right??

  3. hmmmmm. I think you are starting to sway my views.. I have heard goldfish have a STM (short term memory) span of about 10 seconds. Fish do feel stress (fact) so possibly fear and pain? Im open minded.

     

    P.S. Do chessnuts really do that!

  4. Take a look at the rigs page! Looks like a collection of rig images nicked off other pages :confused: . (possibly with permission) Rig page 1 seems to have a few rig pics off AN including Gaffers helicopter rig drawing. Gaffer are you aware of this??

     

    P.S. Cheers Ferret :rolleyes:

  5. If fish dont feel pain the bolt rig would not work. It is obvious they feel pain. Ever had a pike flick about when the hook is being removed? Or a bleak jump about like crazy trying to get off the hook when being swung in? This guy talks c**p!

  6. What is barbel fishing like at this time of year? I imagine its ok as river fish feed all year round. I want to catch a barble of about 5lb+. I have only ever caught them by mistake while chub fishing (about 2lb). What bait do i need? How much will i need? (im told LOADS is needed :confused: ) Where should i fish?

    Cheers

  7. Hummmmm..... Hard to choose. Was my best year yet with a good few big bags. In order:

    1) 4 carp (all around 15lb) caught on the surface,

    2) A big bag of chub, trout and grayling,

    3) 2 keepnet sections full of bleak.

     

    Next year im gonna concentrate on tench, bream and roach.
