Try talkin Tarn at Brampton Carlisle

sorry people , did`nt realise it had been put before , I just read it in my pike mag

Has everyone read this .........

sorry , didnt see previouse posts

Ther is a good pike venue at Strensil near york called Pottery Pond....pike upto 25lb...........bit of advice though , dont fish on a night time , too many rats running about at night.

Thanks for the reply John, the weather is atrocious at the moment, heavy heavy rain,with gale force winds, just had a look down to MOG yesterday morning , and there are a few tents and boats on the shore there......could`nt see anyone fishing though. I Don`t thing I will be doing much fishing while I am here if the weather keeps up like this. I just come past Drummore this morning , and there are a few people on the shore catching the odd bass and pollock. Port Logan I was given some excellent fishing marks in Port Logan by the chap at Ardwell Fishing Tackle ,in Ardwell , but never got to fish them due to the Bloody rotten weather............ If anyone is thinking of fishing Port Logan , call into Ardwell tackle shop and the chap there will sell you a ordnance survey map with all the marks on for you.

I`m off to Port Logan on Saturday 11th Sept for a week , and need some advice for the sea fishing (shore) , marks and baits would be gratefully appreciated.

By law a dog must have some form of ID such as a dog tag with your postcode or address on. However, be aware that bylaws may be in force that restricts access to a particular area for unleashed or even leashed dogs - if not sure, check with your local council.A owner has to keep it under reasonable control,but not nessesareally on a leash,and no one has the right to tell you to put it on a leash, etc. As far as English Law is concerned, they are your property and as such anyone damaging or threatening to damage your property may be committing an offence. Similarly, you have the responsibility of ensuring that it breaches no-one else's rights or damages their person or property. But if you were obstructing the towpath , then it could get rather tricky. So if this dog has damaged your property , then the owner of said dog is liable for the damage.

Sorry chaps , having probs with photobucket, sorted now

Well I managed to catch my first pike today at Talkin Tarn just before the season closes, I used a pop up smelt with two small red flags atatched , and boy did it go ........shot off like a missile across the tarn for about 50 yards, then the line went realy slack ,realed about 30 yards of slack line in , still could`nt feel anythink heavy , "shite I tought it`s got off" , then BANG , line shot off yet again, still on , reels line in realy steady , fish broke surface and it came in realy peasfully to the landing net ..................."get in my first pike" 12lb exactally.

Hi Bri I fished those other two venues that we mentioned before , and never got so much as a nibble , so either Talkin Tarn or a place near york called Pottery Pond

Any hints & tips for this venue,I am going to try and catch my first pike ever..........been fishing river & sea for the past 40 years , but never caught a pike , so this years I am determined. My wife comes from Carlisle , so I am back and forth from Cumbria a lot, so traveling is not a problem. Been told there are some good pike in this water......so any help much apreciated. Brian

Any info and tips regarding pike fishing this water would be helpfull ..............never caught a pike yet, so hoping to fish Talkin Tarn shortly.

bettet still , go to your nearest UPVC window manufacturer and ask them for a old gasket bucket with lid ....... they are free. I`m 17st and they take my weight no problem

I think the only thing this catches is the angler. I tried it a few times from both boat & shore .......I did better from the boat .....but only just ..........by catching one fish more than the shore ,which was nill

Any one got a link to who sells these Lumi hokkie heads for rig making??????......UK 0r US

Now that`s a proper gob full ...................... bloody great photo if you ask me .
