Hi i have recently aquired a rod which i believe to be a walkers split cane sea fishing rod. I am trying to find info about it if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I intend to take every eventuality. but as its the first time i fished a river i just got to hope i can see the next peg and see how there fishing. I'm fishing the wear at chester-le-street

Hi on boxing day i have entered a fishing comp. This will be my first time fishing a river, so could i please get some advice on groundbaits, pole tacktics, pole floats, waggler and any other advice please. Before you ask i entered for the experience, and to avoid the in laws for dinner. So please i beg you with a heart full of xmas cheer and a stomach full of sweet mince pies HELP!!

Thanks for all the advice. my head feels like is gona explode to much information to digest. here was me thinking oh so easy but i now realise its so complex. What ever happend to the poloroid camera where your picture came out the bottom. If every body would excuse me im gona smash my head off a wall put all the different camera types in a hat and pull the lucky winner out, or i could let some smarmy sales person sell me something i dont want. aaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! cheers again folks for the advice

I wish to purchase a new camera but I have a couple of questions:- 1) Digital or Film 2) SLR or Compact what I need the camera to do is:- a) be able to take a good quality picture capable of being transfered to computer ( could be by scanner or memory card, depends on camera type) Take pictures of the fish I catch and of other wildlife and scenery (theres been a lot of times when i have seen such a perfect image, such as red evening sky, frogs on lillies, etc) expense is a consideration, but I would rather buy something better and not wished I had skimped on my purchase. All advice would be greatfully accepted.

there is a new pond opening in washington, this is gona be a pike/trout lake. its gona be aprox 5acres. the people who are doing this are to be found at http://www.foxpondfishery.com

I recently bought a milo mille 100. its the best £600 i spent. I know it seems excessive, but i worked out that buy the time i bought all the extra parts that come as standard with the milo i was almost on £600 anyway. plus you get the oppotunity of raising your box quite high, the legs extend at two points and the seat also raises above the foot plate, giving you more comfort and if you fishing canal or riverlifts your box out of the water without buying more legs. Also build quality is fantastic, my personal opinion. The one draw back is it can get very heavy.

or even better still grow your own. heres a site with the info http://www.fishsa.com/gents.php

when shotting pole floats, how much of the float should remain above the water

i find it so much easier to contact worms direct http://www.wormsdirectuk.co.uk/default.php?cPath=24 plus if you have to many u can keep them in a wooden box and damp newspaper
