Its been a terrible weekend Steven - I am in Hamilton - we couldnt fish the Nith and the wind on the Clyde was unreal - tie a few rigs my friend and bide yer time !!!!

Ok guys this wasnt much of a post - but 148 views and nil replies Do you really want to offer no encouragement > for people who bother !!!! This used to be the top forum Due to the infighting I left it alone for years Am surprised that not even the mods can offer encouragement All the threads are a disgrace - many viewings - few efforts to reply - or encourage What do you guys bother for if you cant promote your own site ??? Very strange _ what is the point !!!!!!

Great report as always John - catch up with you soon there is a bass with my name on it down your way !!!!

Cobh - awesome man Roll on next year

Ive got the suveran uptider too - it has a griplock handle and can be shortened to use that way when not casting - i love it and use it for all sorts of fishing

Had a wee session there today - in far from ideal conditions - cold wet and windy at times was a good day fishwize though had about 20 smallish fish in the snake lake on waggler/maggot then 2 decent carp to 3lb 9oz on peller in the big pond looking good for this season aleady !!!

Hello - Have any of the Scottish lads been out on Orchill this year - and how was it. I usually fish it from about now on - but am wondering if the extra cold winter has" put it back" ! Cheers Peter

Have been looking for months now to buy A seat a double feeder arm (that attaches to the seat not a tripod) a double butt rest Continually out of stock (since early summer) despite being heavily advertised in the angling press If anybody can tell me where they can be found or offer a suitable alternative I would be very grateful Thanks Peter

Nice one Snatcher - catch up with you soon - theres a bass down your way with my name on it !!! :D

Thanks lads -esp Jeremy - at least now I understand what they are tring to tell me - I preume that on top of the 2 bb to lock in the waggler there is room fo another small shot - say no 8 to sink the bait

Just bought some weighted wagglers to make shotting easier - so I thought - what does classic 5+2bb 3, 0+0,8gr mean - or classic 4+2bb2,4+0,6 gr Help - thats the way it is written !!! Peter

Ok - you,ve convinced me - just bought myself a xmas present !!!!

What is it - advice appreciated

Thanks Andy will try that - I have lost quite a bit now to the tangles - so it is not spooled up so much !!! Yes its the carp braid ta

Bought some Wychwood sinking braid - 15 Lb For feeder fishing - however it is tangling during the cast - occasionally and sticking in the eyes of the quiver tip - today I lost four feeders to crackoffs and destroyed a quiver - any ideas - It can happen a couple of metres or 30 metres into the cast It forms geat big loops which I sometimes can get out - other times I have to cut and re-tie - have never had this problem with any other braids !!!! What should I replace it with ??? Thanks

I sometimes fish a pond for tench - usually I do quite well - however a feel at times I have missed a bite and not had time to react. I fish about 3-6 inches over depth (waggler and an uneven bottom) with a no 8 short about 15 inches from the hook. Should I organise it that the no 8 shot is closer to the hook and lying on the bottom ?? Any advice or alternatives would be appreciated Tend to use sweetcorn on a no 18 -3 Lb Trace fish tend to be 1Lb - 3.5 Lb Thanks

Hya Phil I was there in November - loved the place - just wait till you see the mullet in the harbour !!!!! ( no fishing allowed in harbours though !!!) I fished off the rocks and had 9 species - 7 of them new to me - and 5 of these unidentified as yet !! All my fish were small - biggest a 1/2 lb mullet I just took a small telescopic rod and normal course gear - using small (s/z 16) hooks You can do boat trips from other towns but I didnt bother There is a tackle shop in the centre that sell frozen squid for bait and can advise you how/where to get bigger fish I however have to fish next to the FPO sunbathing !!!! Ps some of the fish have beaks and usually bite the hook clean off

Lake of Mentieth (Boat only) - can be excellent

The tactics you use for bream with maggot or worm - would be a decent start point - esp if you are able to use a maggot feeder I would be happier with my bait on the bottom and static - however we all find success in different ways, Peter

Yer a bad man bmac !!!!!!!

Merry x-mas - a happy new year - and tight lines PTF

Anybody record it ??? - ive just got council telly
