  1. Hi mate it depends on which estuary mouth your talking about the forth is about 3 miles wide at the mouth but you have a choice of the (edinburgh side ) the almond at cramond for flatties sea trout etc .

    the esk at musselburgh for flatties sea trout salmon etc the tyne near dunbar sea trout flatties etc .

    if your in edinburgh drop into mikes tackle shop main street portobello just about oposite the police station

    good advice given there

    or if its carp fishing there dudingston loch within holyrood park edinburgh free permit available ot the park rangers station carp /pike /roach/ perch .

     

    good luck for any more info on scottish carp fishing visit HERE

  2. why do you assume there only in and about the south of england you want to open your search further north

     

    i ain't saying how far north because this would cause arguments with some folk :rolleyes:

     

    who think they know better :lol:

     

    remember at one point in time there where no carp in scotland or england wales or ireland.

  3. Just fill it in, do you want to be fishing at dusk/night on a water that some one who dismembers bodies may visit :o

     

    Plus think of the other loonies and morbid creatures it will now attract.

     

    YES it don't bother me none :D

    if your too chicken to fish a place like this thats your problem :rolleyes:

    any way i thought casper was a friendly ghost . (CARP) :lol::lol:

  4. The eyes and whippings are fine its just the flaking varnish that I wanted replacing, and if possible I also wanted to replace the flaked rod label/transfer (half of it has now gone anyway) but I am unsure whether even in this day and age I could get the label/transfer replaced.

     

    As a last resort I can have a go at it myself (I used to make some of my own rods back in the 70s) but I would rather get the rod restored properly.

     

    Thanks for your help everyone, I will investigate the links you gave further.

     

     

    Don't pay to much you can buy one for around the £175 to £225 mark ,however the earlier ones that were singed by Richard are worth more

    they had a dark green/black whipping.

     

    rumors suggest he signed about 50 ish the others were finished with a transfer sticker of his signature .

    good luck.

  5. hi you guys/galls need some help

    my son has a limited budget

    he is looking for 2 rods

    his choices are

    1.Diawa Black widow 2.75 Tc

    2. Chub outcast 2.75 Tc

    3. shimano hyperloop bx 2.75 Tc (fish play action)

     

    any info on alternative rods about the same price range welcome.

  6. take about 1 kg and enough ingredients to make more bank-side make them up as you go

    1 kg for the first day then start making the next batch that day so they have time to dry before the next morning this will keep you busy between runs ;)

    that way you wont get bored. B)

  7. just re spooled using this line recommended by a friend from the usa

     

    Awa-shima Reflector Line

    very low diameter

    good abrasion resistance

    bulk spool 600m

    about £10 or less

    look Here

    For more info also sold on ebay ;)

  8. Last month, a world-wide survey was conducted by the UN.

     

    The only question asked was:

     

    "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food

    shortage in the rest of the world?"

     

    The survey was a huge failure because:

     

    In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.

     

    In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.

     

    In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.

     

    In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.

     

    In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.

     

    In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.

     

    In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

     

    In Britain they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.

  9. put the lot into the bag inc hair rig hook /lead /swivel moisten inside of bag to seal ,

    this should help if not the tie safety clip with pva tape so the clip cant open ,

    which will disolve when your rig settles on the bottom.

  10. Dont usually do Forums, as I much prefer to actually go fishing than just talking about it.

     

    Seems you have not done your research on this kid, for one, she has been top rod on her water for the last twelve months. 2, she has indeed developed a rig used when fishing method that is not only safe in the event of a breakage, but also ensures more concise hooking. 3, She has developed her own method mix by reading up on the finer points of bait development and by talking to experienced anglers such as Tim Richardson and Martin Gibbinson. 4. She can bang a lead 90 yards accurately time and time again, unaided. 5, She started fishing a pole at 4 years old, progressed onto a rod at 5 years old, landed her first double figure carp at six and her first 20, and at the time the lake record at seven, she has gone on to catch consistently ever since. 6, She still fishing the pole and rod for roach, chub, tench etc and also enjoys a bit pf predator fishing, meaning her water craft remains diverse

     

    She has never owned a pink fishing rod, and unlike many grown up anglers can see right through the Realtree and Camo fad.

     

    Anyway, thats a bit about her, want to know more, pop along to Five Lakes in March, we can all learn something from a young angler who has not been brainwashed into a particular rig or bait because the mags have described it as the next 'Big Fish Rig' etc.

     

    Oh yeah, im her old man.

     

    G

     

     

     

     

    Excellent credentials and a youngster as a consultant great idea .

    seems to me that a bit of jealousy from some of the older anglers is showing here ,

    maybe some of us could learn from her i will certainly look forward to hearing more in the future .

    no matter which company is she a consultant with .

    cheers Pete :thumbs:
