Personally i wouldn't recommend braid for trotting on the Ribble. IMO its rubbish for fishing beyond the rod tip ( i spend a lot of the summer fishing beyond the rod tip out to flow lines) as it floats to high and just slides across the surface if you try to slow the float. Yes it lifts off easily, but it can't be mended directly back upstream of your float unless your lucky enough to have the wind blowing the right way.
It also doesn't get on well with sandstone and with no stretch like Ian says, it isn't very forgiving if you don't know if your next fish will a 2oz dace or a 10lb+ barbel.
But if you fancy giving it a go Rob, maybe the strong stuff you might have on your pike reel could be a good place to start.

I love Eels mate, best fighting fish imho and thats what fishing is all about for me. Fooling the fish into taking a sharp pointy, baited piece of metal and then the challenge of bringing it in on suitable gear.
My target for this year is a 3lb broads Eel.

Edit: Yes you can. I got the sakuma? ones off of eBay. I use the 12's with a lump of cheesepaste and a biro spring usually. Going to try popped up paste on a corkball next.
i said if eels were a problem,good for you if you fish for them ,you will treat them with respect they deserve

They are very good, I agree. I use them in sizes 12,6 and 3/0 myself. Either when piking or where eels/perch are a possibility on my sleeper rod.
However, I don't use them when using the quivertip, as they don't seem to hook up as well using that method (for me).
There is definitely a time and place for circle hooks.
Also, never had ANY problems with soft mouthed fish but I do recommend crushing the barbs down as the hook shape resists ejection anyway.

thans rengrad,for eels and perch,theyed be perfect,cause thats my main gripe at the moment ,treatment of eels.if people are having problems with eels,this old guy told me a trick when catching for the plate or pike bait,he used to get a road kill mainly rabbit,but any small dead animal,wrap it in a old shirt leaving a few holes and sleeves open came back a couple of days later and it would be full.this can be used the same way but just pegging somthing out dowstream,i know. eels arnt the same numbers as years ago ,but if your having reel problems give it a go.so you can get them down to 12.thanks

For the people who use braid for trotting, do you fish it right through to the hook length swivel or make up your rigs with mono as well as a hook length?
depending on the sretch i do use a size14 swivel and tfg starving whippet hooklengh dia .25 i dont know the poundage the paper cover came off,i should think around 6.but when using braid use the right rod like the 15ft preston ,you need a through action not tippy,if your going to get a pin dont scrimp on the rod,the depth depends on the hooklengh if its shallow ,fish 2to3 feet overdepth and hold back.it works for me

If you are really set against fishing for pre-spawning pike but have no qualms about catching the same pike repeatedly in the summer ('when the fight is better'), I'm sure you can see that everything is a huge grey area where some people think one thing is fine and others think it's totally unacceptable.
(PS on the bream I guess we don't even know if he was really carp fishing...!)
i can only catch what takes my lure ,if its the same fish,i cant help that seeing ive worked there 14 years its going to happen,but many times ive heard people say pike dont fight ,no wonder when most fish, when the carp are shutting down,and the waters freezing

I'm Lookin for a change of bait in my carp fishing, and I'm looking at using the xxx odessy range from cc more. Does anybody use it and/or have any thoughts on it?
there betain pellets are alo bang on

my mate was going down on are local lake,but work stopped me,but in the last week i got hold of some size 6 circle hooks,after having a kip he was on the phone,how many more have you,he had six carp ,were we would only get that between us on a good night,when you look at them they just look like they;ll catch,the design is made so its impossible to deep hook a fish.they are mostly used at sea,and in larger sizes

Perhaps carp suffer from mulitiple captures because of the types of water they are to be found compared with pike? While not claiming much experience with carp, having caught probably less than a score of them in all my fishing years, I see hear and read about, and yes have occasionally even fished the type of commercial water that have large carp present as a business interest.
Pike,at least the ones we fish for come from very different waters, I accept thet there is a growing pike 'side line ' in some commercial trout waters, we even fish one of those a few times each year. However on most of the venues we fish I imagine that I the first person to have ever seen the (pike) fish and hope and believe that once it has flicked it's tail 'goodbye' at me that it won't ever come into contact with a human again. Across the years I have only twice encoutered the same fish on more then one occasion, last year a took a small jack (around 5lbs) and caught it again in the same bay of a small tarn 3 days later, and the year before took a good double which photographs and a distinctive damaged caudal confirmed as one which my partner caught as a much smaller fish a few years earlier.
I accept and, beleive me give constant thanks that we are fortunate in having these large interesting and relatively very lightly fished places, and that some have to pay to take a share in repeatedly catching the same fish, but don't confuse nor compare carping with pike fishing.
i;m not comparing the two.but take llandegfedd reservoir and the 46 that was caught,and a number of large 30,s,i think the record went twice that session,but not seen again,,they can say what they were caught on what lures,but it was live baits.also its been proved certain animals die of stress easier than others, why not fish ,when lure fishing i take the trebles off and attach a single,in most cases its unhooked in the water,not tangled up in the net with hooks everywere. these trout waters i have no problem with, if its around oct, nov and no later ,its fishing in late feb, march for heaverly full of spawn and the fight is nothing to a oct fish

It just occurred to me (god knows why it took so long) but we are believing what we read in the press about that bream. I would not expect many of the articles in the weeklies to be accurate in the slightest! Indeed I know of one recently that was entirely fabricated even the supposed quotes were made up.
Rich
quite right rich,last year i was up on windermere and talking to these guys from bolton,they no who they are ,they shouted over a nice 24 on deadbait,talking after, while trailing up the boats ,we blanked ,they said that they had just the one,a couple of weeks later a picture of this guy and the pike with a lure hanging out its mouth which had never seen a lure and the weight had gone up to 27.12

I think it's a bit easy to get all precious about a particular angle on an activity which revolves around hooking fish in the mouth and (albeit briefly) removing them from the water. Tench are the best example of spawn-laden PBs, with the fish-of-a-lifetime 12lb tench being just a 10lb tench + 4 weeks. I can't see how it's any worse to catch it at 12lb than at 10lb, bearing in mind it would rather we didn't catch it at all.
You won't catch it while it's actually spawning, so that's a moot point.
I don't try to catch fish at their heaviest weights to win prizes or to impress other people, I just would love to see what, for example, a 12lb tench actually looks like...
im not saying dont fish at all,most fisheries exept for pike you not sure what will take there bait,but when i see people fly fishing for pike,full of spawn the pike are knackerd especialy when the fly rods are undergunned for20 plus pike.by no means im anti pike fishing ,in a previose thread i mentoined i generally have 30mins of my dinner hour on the factory lodge were they are no more than 14id,in the summer wnen the fight is better,and dont through the low oxgen at me a large stream runs in and out,and ,.i catch the same fish many,many times .i only use 1 single hook on the lures and most cases the fish dont leave the water

That's a lot of tackle they have stolen.
Was he landing fish like he does on his programs?
twice on the severn were i did;nt stop long ,but the other time on larford lakes. stourport,he was pulling them out,and a great bloke allround.and larford lakes i would rate highly ,even as a sectoin of the severn,and for 6to7quid you cant grumble

I learned about this from Martin Bowler a while back.Don't matter who it is or if they pay for their tackle or not it still hurts. Scum for sure but in my mind the real scum are the "fellow anglers" who buy it,knowing full well that it must be dodgy.
i dont think it will be long before the theiving,t..ts are caught ,lets just keep our eyes open ,and dont buy gear off dodgy gets,who know nothing about what there sellingi remember john wilson telling a story on go fishing,he;d just nipped into his tackle shop,leaving his gear in the car ,came out, all of it gone,on his way back home for some more,a drunk walking down the mainroad with rods centerpins the lot,he never said what happend,but he got it back,its still surprises me on match days on the local canel,whats left in vehicles.ive seen tackle left in cars that cost more than the car

I am not sure long term, but I will add I have a 6ft x 3ft Fishtank with about 16 Mirror Carp and Ghost Koi in it. I decided to treat them one day to some Peach And Maplecream Boilie! With them being pretty small I decided it would be best to cut the boilie into quarters and then crush one of the quarters into smaller bits and chuck it in so they could fit it into their mouths....
All well and good, but just 5-6 hours later the water developed like a soup-ish sediment which went right along the whole bottom of the tank and the surface of the tank has an awful oily slick on it. I ended up having the change the water completely to resolved the problem....
Lots of Boilies in a commercial would = VERY poor water quality.
one of the lakes i fish the ducks eat there fair share and when they brake down entirly,there must be other ,aquatic creatures that feed upon them,hallibuts must be the worst of the two as more commercials ,make you use there own pellets,carp pellets i mean

The Matt Hayes bit is towards the bottom:
"TOP angling celebrity Matt Hayes is the latest fisherman to fall victim to thieves after his entire tackle collection was stolen in a raid at his Shropshire home."
etc.
i guess allot of the gear was sentimental,but i dont think he would;nt sruggle to be on the river on the openig day,three times i have had the honour to see him fish and not once was he using his own brand

A sad day will have come to pass when a fisher is too afraid to report an exceptional catch...I shall continue to do so and to say, 'well done' to others. For just as surley as the writer here describes this as 'bragging', is it not he who brags about how much more sensitive, subtle and attuned to the world (of fishes) he is than those of us condidered reckless uncaring scoundrels?
That said I agree with the notion of taking pleasure in a 'good' fish as well as a big one, and perhaps measure fish and my fishing in units of 'fun' rather then in lbs and ounces (or even kg and gms), but to condemn fishers for taking about big fish, and wish the practice stopped for fear of upsetting those who fail to understand our sport is quite remarkable.
inthe case of carp, they are not normally fished for when spawning,because feeding is;nt the first thing on there mind,but pike is a differant matter,i know waters were 30,s have been caught and never seen again,you see a record carp caught constantly but hardly ever pike,and thats a opinion
-
But surely what your talking about here is "location" not "pre baiting"?
find the locatoins ,but find 5,6 and move around,how many anglers next week. will take everthing but the kichen sink,three rods out and sit on there ass for6 hours or more,what do they call it carbeling.1 rod,this time of year a korum bait bag,unhooking mat that also acts as a seat and a landing net,5mins to get my stuff together and off to the next swim while leaving a hanfull of bait,o never forget my wadersi get more saticfaction,working for my fish

Why did you take it upon yourself to challenge him?
did you read what i said ,ichallenged him,what did youwant me to do start a fight,i called the police and that was;nt much use,or did you mean just let him get on with it ,lets all go down close season,its there like it or not

money talks they will send reels from america ,so sweden sould;nt be a problem.been lucky enough to tape full series on sky plus
-
while walking the dog along the river ,i challenged a bloke fishing,after a heated row he said were the river is tidal its free fishing,is this true.ive looked round the net asked freinds ,but not had a definate answer,but ive been told it could be bye laws in certain areas
-
Really? Been looking on the net but i havent find it..
Regards Jonas
ive been told dvd souce.co.uk and on amazon but not bulk,

Now that makes sense and I can agree with that in general.Just that your previous posts seemed contradictory and appeared to be arguing just for the sake of it.I respect all opinions as long as they are based on experience even if they differ to mine.In fact I like to hear alternative views as I may learn that mine are not necessarily 100%. Maybe I have misjudged you and you are neither the person I thought you were or have a direct problem (personally) with my self.Any way enough we will see.
im not that type of person budgie,if iv something to say ill say it...good to leave on good terms
