Hi All We are staying near Canterbury, Kent in March and I'm looking for a Day ticket pleasure fishery. Can anybody suggest any please. Thanks...

Do you know if a licence can be bought from a FR post office or similar ?

I just bought a LED float on e-bay for £2.99 (saved legging it up town to the tackle shop, lazy git..) comes with two hearing aid batteries and is very bright. Float is about the size of a larger waggler. Check it out...

Hi Guy's We are off on holiday to France in the new year, and as luck would have it... there's a lake on site He He he. Question is: Do I need a fishing Licence for France and I guess a day permit ?

Hi Don Thanks kindly for the loan of any extra gear. Have got it sorted, by bunging it all on the laps of the in-laws haha... I believe day tickets are available from the Camp Site reception, in not I guess from the two tackle shops you mentioned. Cheers for the info.

Hi Guy's Thanks for all the additional information. I know we should'nt wish our life away... but I can't wait !!! Don, where's the nearest tackle shop from the Caravan site ? I've booked my bacon butty by the waters edge, don't suppose that'll be delivered unit 10.00am'ish. Thanks again.

Guy's Thanks for the additional info, you've all just wet my appetite some more. Cheers...

I'll be off for a weeks caravanning and fishing in September at St Neots right on the rivers egde, how cool :cool: is that... Any tips on best baits and methods to use, as I need to streamline my gear down to get it in the car + wife and inlaws :confused: .

Thanks for the info Kreid I'm guessing the campsite were staying should be able to advise on day/week permits for the loch. Cheers...

Hi Guy’s Where staying in Scotland on the shores of Loch Lomond for our annual holiday this year. My Coarse Fishing Rod & Line license covers me for England and Wales… so what about Scotland? Do I need to buy one for there and where from? I appreciate your help. :cool:

Just been to Nicholls Leisure Lake on Saturday. A really cool working gravel pit, with verying depths from 4ft out 4ft deep and bit further jesus I think it went to middle earth! I was coarse fishing just under some reeds and wiped out a net fully of assorted size Roach and skimmers, needless to say I was well happy with my catch. A lot of others were Carp fishing and I beleive these were'nt feeding. Day Permit cost £10 and booking 24hr before by ring the Water baliff (Derrick Weller 07767 480929). Hope this helps, I can't wait to go back... :cool:

Hi Guy's Any idea how I can get my line to sink, as it always stays on the surface and gets blown across the water pulling my float with it. Any help and advice would be appreciated. :cool:

HI We stayed on the Camping & Caravan Club Site at Devizes right next to this beautiful stretch of canel. As for PIKE, oh yes... Enjoy Can't wait to go back myself...
