[Anderoo.
As for where I would choose (and asuming I can't go back in time - otherwise it would be the Wensum in its roach heyday, or Redmire in the company of Dick Walker), that's a good question...
Well Andrew it is redmire but we cant go back in time so I will have to make do with the three people I will be joining and just soaking up the atmosphere, maybe climb a tree or try for a gudgeon.

although I class myself as a fairly proficient pleasure angler whose first love is and always will be putting a stick float through a steady current I am always willing to try different methods and venues.
Since visiting wingham I have kitted myself out with numerous bits of kit for short session angling ( by the way Steve if you are reading this my new boss is much easier to influence and I am hoping to make the full fish in this year if I am lucky enough ) .
Now the point of my question is, if you were given the chance to fish a venue for a long weekend nearly 200 miles away for a species you do catch but do not target exclusively and the chances of catching were remote but thinking about it bought out the mr crabtree in you would you take the opportunity. ?

had a 4lb tench as an 11 year old fishing minnows for perch at horton kirby lakes and a eel take a lure on the broads. sometimes ive even eaten celery !
-
Top tips from Budgie, only one from me. establish the target fish and probable weight needed to win the match and fish for them, don`t get tempted to start scratching for bites if you struggle for the start of the match and dont be dissalusioned when you get your a**e whupped from each side of you good luck and have FUN.
-
It may well even be the only bite they get for 3 days...
nothing new there then Andrew
-
take your carp rods and fish from the breakwater instead
-
had one for years, only used it twice and struggled both times with single hooks,would probably cut as close to hook as possible rather than pull the pikes stomach inside out.
-
Had a tench on minnow meant for perch as a lad.
-
Found it. pm me your address and I will stick it in the post for you.
-
pretty sure I have one in my garage Budgie, will have a dig and get back to you.
-
Just don't try to make all 3 bobbins on the same night you drink the wine. You end up with a headache AND crap bobbins.
Renrag
you see lots of bites though !!
-
Yeah, but that's because you've got one of the best rods known to man
And considering how good they are there not really expensive !
this may well be worth keepin an eye on for anyone lookin for a trottin rod...

good thought provoking topic, just got back this morning from fuerteventura with 2 reels in my hand luggage no problems there or going out from Gatwick, have previously had forceps confiscated coming back ( rightly so ) as I forgot to put them with my other bits and bobs.in future will probably put the spools in the hold.
-
if you are new to fishing why not buy a float rod and try the rivers in the winter, you will definately learn some new skills
-
Maybe you can keep your eyes peeled for your attackers and seek a bit of revenge.
I wish i'd been there with you to give you a helping hand
Andy, having met tigger at wingham I would take him up on his offer next time you go out collecting !! . Hope you feel well enough to work soon

Hello all another newbee here, was just wondering if there are any Kingfisher members on here?
I fish most of their waters but want to have a go on the lakes at Boughton Monchelsea but I cant find them and dont know anyone that has fished them can you help???
Hi sawnee, there are at least three, medway green,myself and tony u who is on the commitee, not fished Boughton Monchelsea myself so might be worth a pm to the other guys, both are full of info, there is also a fisheries guide available to purchase from the treasurer. welcome to Anglers net.

Radnor park pond or the peter pan pool, first place I ever fished as a young boy catching perch eels and small tench,if memory serves me well I am sure some of the 12oz tench used to strip hundreds of yards off my reel ! ( small pin with about 20 yds on ! ) anyway always will be a magical place in my memory so I believe it !!
-
welcome to anglers net Gusgus, I am sure someone one here lives locally enough to help, good luck with your fishing, plenty of advice for all types of angling if you navigate from the home page.
-
saw one caught on the tidal at kingston many years ago, I think you will get more information asking on the sea forum.
-
Again as always thank you to all mentioned for yet another fantastic fish in.( I cant believe after all the wet and miserable fish in`s I have attended I found myself soaking myself with water this morning ! )
Thanks for putting me in what is a very fishable swim ,there were definately fish in it I just couldn`t catch them
well done to all those that acheived PB`s and it was a pleasure to meet some new faces and catch up with familiar ones.
THANKS again

Hello everyone, I'm new to AN and this is my very first post I'm new to all this so please be gentle with me!
Over the past few years I have heard so much about AN and Wingham from my boyfriend that I thought it was about time that joined in, it's nice to see a few other ladies on here too.
Most of my friends think I'm raving mad spending my weekends sitting out in the pouring rain but I really don't care, for me it's an escape the from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to breathe some fresh air and and feel the tingles of excitement when you get a bite. Even on a day when nothing is biting, just watching the wildlife makes it seem all worth it.
I've fished quite a few places over the past few years but I recently saw some pictures if Wingham and I can' believe how spectacular the lake and the surroundings are, from what I've been told the pictures do not do it any justice, trust me I've after seeing the amount of fishing programmes I've seen, this place looks like heaven on earth!
welcome smiffles and as you have posted you will be able to register for a place when steve officially opens his list. I have to say if you go you will not be dissapointed with both the fish in and surrounding area loads of wildlife and you may even see a Budgie hope to see you there ( if I am lucky enough to secure a place )
