  1. A bit North but there is a basin on Bells Bridge Lane at Ford Green. Look out for the Jumbo Jet on Google earth.
  2. I have noticed an improvement since buying a hook sharpener off Budgie, it is always in my tackle box. I don't use a trendy 'carp' hook for my carp fishing, but I do use a hand sharpened one that is examined after every cast and fish. A great deal of carpers are under the spell of advertisers and struggle to have any faith in something that Nash / Korda / Gardner etc don't tell them to use or do.
  3. I would use one every time I recast a rod. How often I recast the rods varies greatly depending on moving swims, fish activity, line bites and fish caught. I can use 4 in a session if it is quiet or 40 in a session if I am catching and recasting regularly.
  4. Use Google earth to find a basin and somewhere to park. Bit of raking and prebaiting helps. I have never seen a bailiff on the Lancy canal but you could take some cash to pay for day tickets just in case.
  5. Lowering the speed limits on these roads has very little to do with road safety. National speed limit / 60 / 50mph roads must be maintained by local authorities to a higher standard than a 30 mph or 40 mph road. It is all about cutting corners and saving money, not road safety.
  6. One one water I fish the poachers use devices tied to the wooden legs of the fishing platforms to steal carp ,tench and bream. We now regularly rake the areas in front of the pegs and around marginal trees to remove their lines. Their lines consist of a standard heavy bolt rig / big hook and strong monofilament attached via two 3 way swivels to a couple of lengths of heavy duty pole elastic and then string on a loop to loop round underwater branches and the wooden legs of fishing platforms. These devices only got discovered by chance as a fellow angler raking his swim prior to fishing, be vigilant.
  7. Oh great Jan Harrigan being given time on the TV to spout her incredibly ill informed biased bile again.
  8. Sometimes 55mph is way to fast for the conditions other times 80mph is almost to slow for the conditions.
  9. After the first time using his new pole my friend was packing it away and putting it in his holdall. He took a tube out of the holdall and slid his new pride and joy in to her safe protective case. Only for the pole to hit the red cap on the bottom of the tube and come shooting out of the bottom of the tube. As fate would have it we were fishing a very deep lake and he had been pointing the bottom of the tube out over the water. The pole shot through the water like a torpedo and vanished in to the depths never to be seen again.
  10. Yes they are more harmful and addictive than many 'illigal' drugs. Prohibition in the USA was such a massive success.
  11. It has kept the rivers flowing and nicely coloured.
  12. If it came from one of the couple of waters I have in mind I must say well done that man!!!
  13. People for the Eating of Tasty Animals
  14. Another day and more scandal! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business...ng-7898946.html
