topbait

its old news now mate.....

it is because the line is passed thruogh the front of the eye and whipped the wrong way around the shank,or thats what it looks like? topbait

hello Backleads are used to conceal lines(or just to get the line out of the way)generally they are put onto the line just after casting out and droppped down into the water (i use them as close to the tips as possible) not loads of advice but its a start topbait

hello... just because you cant use braid dont mean you cant use mono,weather it be a hooklink or mainline.....if you only sling out 1 rod for carp try using 10lb mainline,Daiwa sensor is reasonbly cheap and is pretty strong....as for hooklinks there are 100s to choose from,i personnaly favour 12lb grand max riverge as it has the diameter of about 6 or 7 lb line and its flurocarbon so is quite see through on the lake bed and knots really well topbait "keep on keeping on"

64lb 6 oz is what was told today(22nd) topbait

hello... there are loads of good additives and super market shelf ingredients that you can add to ground bait a few of my favourites are angel delight(butter scotch,choclate)from the pet shop get some P Y M its to feed budgies and is a superb attractor....oxo cubes,cod liver oil,marmite(watered down as a dip)paprika,chilli powder,curry powder,weetabix crushed up, hope this helps.... topbait!!

hello.... it also helps to protect the carp in certain situations!!!!! topbait

hello....... try using sweetcorn in the margins over pellet,fish for a bite at a time dont pile in the bait(unless there is a load of fish there). try using pellet and bags with a single pop up...how long is the match and can i fish it?????? topbait

yeah nice mirror....good angling topbait

The anglers that do this type of thing are not only looking for fame ,but are seriously cheating themselves...i thought fishing was trying to catch a fish not about being famous or telling fishermans tales about the size of the fish that do get caught!!!!! topbait!

brooklands...loads of singles,doubles,twentys and the odd thirty....cant give you much more cos i dont fish it as much any more but it can be a bit tricky at times.....especially now as the water is gin clear topbait

hello... well done mate!!!!!!!!!!! topbait

hello.... a bait that works also helps and a sharp hook......... topbait

hello den.. the fish came from chilham...fishing a 10 mm pop at long range into open water also had a 19lb common.... topbait

hello..... i had a PB today it shocked me!!!!!! 32 12 mirror.......its been a struggle lately and i worked hard for this fish..... topbait

hello... most pet shops or a local tackle shop!!! tackle shops are more exspensive though... topbait

hello nathan... i have caught lots of carp using groundbait in conjunction with particles and boilies...get a sack of vitalin,its about a tenner for 25kg and it works a treat,just add a few other goodies like hemp seed and crushed boilies or what ever you are using topbait "keep watching the water"

whoops i ment crystal!!!!!

hello i personnaly favour the drennen crstal wagglers in all sizes... topbait

hello... Depending on the type of lake you are going to fish,would depend on the type of tackle you would require.....but a rod an reel is a start!! do you intend to fish a float or a ledger style set up? is the lake well stocked? is it a big lake? answer these and i will try and help you,if i can.... topbait "keep watching the water"

hello..... yes is an easy answer! topbait

blizzard in dartford,kent...........about 2 inches might go out and try to catch one!!! steve

hello.......... its not that ive lost it,i just cant seem to do anything right at the moment my last 5 trips have been unsucsessful and then the bloke turns up in the next swim and bangs out a 30 closely followed by a 29,it takes a lot for me to lose all confidence in my approaches as i know they work(and my bait) but like tony c said i suppose every angler as there of days. den I had an angler last season wake me up to tell me he had just had a 31 mirror and that i could be a witness to the capture,but he had all ready returned it....they only cheat there selves in my eyes this person said that he had done self take photography and would show me the pictures next time he sees me............never seen him again!! topbait... "keep on keeping on" !

hello.... was just wondering if any angler as ever lost the plot with there fishing,i mean just got fed up with the rat race that so many of us face these days(especially at weekends)or somethings just dont go right or you might blank alot,not saying i do that is! just seeing if ive lost it or not! steve..... "keep watching the water"

hello.... i use a bubble float for close in work because its easy to spot, and because of its shape helps to self hook the fish. For long range stuff i use a converted gardener controller,or a yellow kinder egg filled with water,bright and it casts very well steve "keep watching the water"
