It is such a sad time of year to lose a family member, as I know only too well. God Bless to all his family and friends.

His legacy will always survive!

[New hobby]

Hey Phil, hope this helps, try having a look in the Argos catalogue. They have some surprisingly good fishing sets in there.

Great to see another returning angler.

Tight lines, & have fun

[Guideless fishing rods?]

Never seen, or hear of these rods. The only point I wished to raise is that Matt NEVER had a cockney, or Mockney accent. He comes from deepest, darkest BIrmingham. Smethwick to be precise, the same as me.

[How To Fish]

Cheers Elton, just ordered a copy, and "matching the hatch". Never bought over the net before, damned easy, may never have to leave the house for shopping again. All the more time for fishing, what a result.

[groundbait,Ratio.where to fish.]

I went fishing today,a rarity at the moment believe me, But the point is I used mashed sweet corn mixed with evaporated milk. Admittedly you dont get much ( I used 2 large tins of corn, 1 large tin of milk ) but the effect was amazing, almost a fish a cast over a 5 hour session, had to fetch the wife from work or I'd probably still be there. Give it a go. For £1.50 and a shot of electricity, a brilliant fish attractor.

[Different types of feeders]

Jamie, your best bet for finding pictures of rigs of feeders is the libraries collection of fishing books, or IYCF they regularly show in depth details of various rigs.

Happy Fishing.

[i can`t fish!]

If we landed a fish every time, it would be called catching. Patience and a few tips will grt you there. Tried chatting to the other anglers, I've found the guys around the lakes where I fish really helpful. They know the water, it's various depths, and the hot spots, them and the ubiquitous IYCF, and its game on my son.

Tight lines.

[canal fishing]

mashed bread in your feeder, with half a lob worm on a 14 is a killer for larger perch in my local canal at present. Make a cloud of mashed bread, and pinch some flake on with very little weight on your line, and if you have tench or chub in your local waters you can't miss.
