You can not miss us as we will likely be the only longsword team there. we are only dancing in Rochester on Saturday and Monday getting up early on the Sunday morning means we will be going back to bed for a lie in.
We will be drinking in between dancing as always need to keep our fluid levels up.
look at:

Pike rods are reputed to have: a full un-abreviated handle, generally a slower more through action for the given test curve, a greater wall thickness on the blank.
However, they are usually just re-badged carp rods.
The Fox Pike masters are quite nice though, (because I have got a pair).

I had a decent sole last night from Gillingham Pier and a load of Pout would be nice to have a doggie or two for a change.

I will mainly be targeting fish, big ones in Cuba from the 13th.

Probably not, but they are aesthetically more pleasing.

Rainbow Trout are cheaper and a better indicator of polluted water ie they will keel over and die quicker than roach if things like the oxygen levels aint right.
We are not talking about the Wandle here are we Dunk?

Intersting concepts being discussed here:
it's not the people taking the fish that are to blame; but its the governement (whichever hue) and its scientific lackeys telling them not to?
there are no problems with sea fish stocks in the waters around the Britain and Ireland???
and as always its the bloody Spanish I've yet to see one of their boats trawling or gill netting off Sheerness but i obviously will stand corrected.
:confused: :confused: :confused:

And what about the Hat!!!!

Why bother; do they see in the same spectrum as we do it is only camouflaged in our visible spectrum?

Try a lure something out of the ordinary, as you have said its a small pond jerk baits are probably overkill but fox micros would be ok.
Pick an off the wall colour: charteuse, orange, flouro-pink. what we would be looking for would be to try to get an aggressive feeding response rather than a match the hatch approach.
This should work even if the fish are prepring to spawn as the jacks become very aggressive at this time but do not necessarly feed heavily.

They make fighter aicraft out of carbon I don't think cane or greenheart would be of much use
.So if its good enough for the RAF it must be good enough for my rods.

I don't have a problem with carp in the rivers I just worry about where some of them have come from; as we do not want a disease wiping out indigenous fish stocks.

All I can say is: forget the fishing for a while, finish your studying the A levels will be over before you know it and you have all that free time afterwards.

Doesn't need some scroat to introduce them to the Medway system all it needs is a good flood and Monk Lakes, put them in for free, along with a load of other section 30 free exotics.
We had some wonderful Kois swimming around in a KAPS stretch of the Beult last year.

I just used a Loomis GLX Distance 10' #7 at the weekend and i would like to see the cane or greenhart rod that would come close to that baby. With regard to close range fishing I still use a Shakespeare boron 8' 4-5 weight blank and have yet to find anything to beat it.
Should't we be on the Fly fishing Forum?
P.S.
I cannot see how any cane or other contraption from the dark ages would come close to my Normark float rods either, or my Harrison Ballistas come to think of it.

I've always found split cane to be slow, tip heavy and floppy give me carbon any day.
A Sage or Loomis v Hand built cane, no contest the carbon wins every time, use the cane to keep your runner beans up.

Just the same to Keep Elton Happy here is the link for his travel match rod:
www.tacklebargains.co.uk/acatalog/Multipiece_Travel_Rods.html
He is even throwing in a free reel sounds great for the Hols.

It could be too short, I had problems hitting the mini sea species with a 9 foot telescopic, I now use the Fladden six piece 13 foot match rod for this sort of stuff, Elton does them.
Shakespeare do a similar multi piece match rod for a price not much more than the Shimano, £32 from Nimpopo, it's a bit bigger at 84 cms but still gets into a suitcase.
Remember you can not take rods on board planes as cabin luggage anymore.
