  1. Apalling service, only way to break this sort of thing is to name and shame them. good on yer
  2. Ken L They do cast very well when wet,as J.K.states 20grms when wet will get 20-30 yards depending on rod, braid, i use a 30-60grm rated rod with 35lb Tiger braid,the conical head aids casting and the whole thing is pretty aerodynamic when wet.
  3. Hi Dales i have a few of these lures, and have used them for pike,not had a lot on them...yet. think they are more of a summer lure.Will be changing the treble to a single so it will become more weedless. If you want to fish it deeper put a large split shot on the front of the lure or you might try clipping a old small spinner on the front to give some vibration and flash.still have high hopes for this lure as it's being a new lure out over here, will give it at least one season.would think it's a killer in mangroves/flats etc first thing i do after a day out and using this lure is dry them out with the hairdryer,don't know if it helps them stay in good nick
  4. Will be up early for a hour or two's deadbaiting fancy it will very cold thought local airport already at -8 so it might be a waste of time.....but hey you only live once
  5. Yeah my local water trying make out the items in the picture, it looks like quiver with a rod it it.Not heard of anyone missing but....
  6. 4 blanks on the trot now,some you win some you don't, even if you blank you should still come away with info for your next outing,the bonus is catching fish. i love being out and about no matter what the weather,or lack of fish
  7. 4 Hours on my local canal pike fishing yesterday,no snow in Exeter but damn cold, frost lasted all day in shade and ground was rock hard.Cat ice formed overnight on water....and i blanked one women running even had the cheek to suggest i was mad fishing in this weather, theres me in a two piece thermal suit and her in a flimsey jogging bottoms and a trak suit top..said pot calling kettle black love
  8. Just thought i'd bump this one back in to life as it now looks as winter will arrive early and with a mighty bite when you see this sort of chart being churned out it's time to sit up and take notice of the forecasts.yes i know its a week away and will change,but as anglers we all know to well how easy it is to get caught out by the weather Met office has put out first warning for bad weather in north and northeast this will extend south over coming days..this could turn in to a 10 day very cold spell take heed and take care after all it's only a fish http://forum.netweather.tv/index.php?app=c...ttach_id=105880
  9. Like it says; a all rounder likes his lure and fly fishing but will turn to most species Strikes me as traditional angler,and he writes on his fishing experiances. lives down here in Devon.Nice chap
  10. Nothing wrong with a moan,clears the head purifys the soul Often have a chat with myself when out fishing, about something that p***** me off at work do get some strange looks sometimes as i am so involved with the chat do not hear/see people walking up and passing me.....quickly
  11. Fulfilment,peace and quite(sometimes) and challenge to outwit a wild, wily,fish enjoyment of nature and surroundings and if i catch a fish or two thats a bonus, people who moan about blanking should not take up angling, there is not a guarantee to catch fish, its you against a fish, Its like so many things today, instant gratification must have, will have, and if we can't achieve it we moan. Angling it not like that..at least traditional angling,if you want to just catch fish, go to a commercial and fill your boots on carp..
  12. Big congratulations to Dominic, could'nt happened to a nicer guy.Fished with him a couple of times. and found him a nice bloke.good company,
  13. We are entering in to a La nina so might end up with a mild winter..but there has also been a solar minimun and the PDO has entered its negative phase jet stream has moved back south over the last few years,and there has been a tendency for northern blocking high pressure to the north/north east of the uk plus we had a cool/cold winter in 2008-09 and its said that the uk gets a cluster of cold winters so we could been in for a cold one again..but not as cold as last winter i think it will be a mild start with cool/cold periods but the later winter will be very cold, as is often the case in la nina's
  14. Good post,i'd like to go further and have the tackle shops being able to ask to see licence's when buying bait etc. But more than anything i would like to see more bailiffs especially when the waethger turn's warmer and sunnier,thats when you get all and sundry fishing
  15. Jealous No, just it that the bailiff badge you carry for obvious reason's does not sit well with your own set of convictions on the issue of license requirements If you find some one you did not know without a license would you report them. And what would happen if you found a friend without a license.....conflict of interest i think it's called OR too much self interest.
  16. ah i see, have to be one of the cliche...... how sad
  17. Then why are you doing balliff duties when you clearly do not agree with the system would'nt be because it's for the "top" angling clubs in the country would it
  18. Sad sad day for lure angling R.I.P.Charlie your legacy lives on in a great book."the Art of Lure Fishing"
  19. yes i know,but snow and ice are suppose to be become very rare and infreqent,the last two winter have proved otherwise, and this report if from the WWF,you know the same lot that said the himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035,which turned out to be a mistake and should have read 2350, the EA and met office have said our winters would be much wetter!!!! you go figure ho's right?????
  20. 2 Words= utter crap Climate doom mongers have been spouting this sort of thing for the last 20+ years ,the last 3 summers have been very wet Snow and cold are supposed to be reducing..yeah remeber winter just gone The climate is always changing,has done, will do, long after we have been wiped off this planet.
  21. Simply to carry on enjoying my fishing in all it's forms. lure, coarse,and to do more pike fly fishing.
  22. Always thought this one would make the person you're fishing sit and take notice some chap called Quint sang in a film........ Farewell and adieu to you,fair Spanish Ladies, Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain; For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston And so never more shall we see you again...... Would imagine be really spooky fishing out on a boat in the Channel
  23. Low points for course fishing was the invasion of eastern europeans and their ways of fishing high points ................................................................................ ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................??i'll get back to you.
  24. As an old fart now (44) grew up M.J's music and a so called strange traits ie.(bubble's, oxeygen chamber,plastic surgery),etc.some i thought was publicity. Alleged child molestation was never proven in court and first case Jordan Chandler episode was no more than money extortion from the most famous musician in the world. Whatever people thought of the man you can not take away the music and dance Dance wise no one could ever come close.And the video's are sublime and pure entertainment that's what he should be rembered for not the allegations. I think Michael Jackson will become more famous than Elvis since he died.
