a friend of mine caught this cracker at loch lubnaig yesterday shortly after i caught another 1
they look alot like a brown trout / arctic char crossbreed brown on top with gold bellow it then gold underneath, the ppictures dont realy define how gold it is but it was a beutiful fish.
we suspect is is a crossbreed but we aint too sure, anyone any insight into this fish ?
-
many thanks chris
-
thanks chavender, wonderful links, would be nice to have a sticky thread with all these links to fre video clips and even larger tutorial videos
-
im looking for any type of fishing video/dvd/shorts that i can download from the internet and view in media player or other such movie programs.
some under water footage of fish behaviour would be nice aswel
-
i think that the police handling somthing like this will scare most kids away if more youth centers done it or fishieries promoting it then it would probably be alot better
-
my appologies. i do mean to keep getting a mat but it always slips my mind when im buying 50lb braid, strong saftey snap links, 30lb wire and good quality whychwood crimpin sleeves. so forgive me (jeepster mostly) if i put not losing the fish in the first run and leaving a cheap trace/hook in its mouth to a few harmles blades of grass gently coressing its skin.
oh and it had been raining all day and the wind had made the grass almost vertical plus my ass had been sitting on that spot for half an hour

found this table http://www.pacgb.co.uk/aboutpike/weightforlength.html
sadly it goes from 39 inches and mine was about 30 inches so possibly is a double but they dont have 30 inches it starts from 39 and im no good with math
-
i would also like to see this as i have a pb pike but dont realy know its weight. some reckon it could be a double others say just under a double it was 2 and a half ft and was a faty and what a fight. i had to sit down for 5 minutes and calm down forgive the lure still in its mouth but it was not long out of water, 2 minutes i think
heres a pic

i think its a fantastic idea and ive been thinking it alot(should say it alot more though) that getting them out fishing into the great outdoors rather than the great street corner and grapling a slipery fishy rather than grapling a bottle of buckfast. it will make them better persons as it has made me.
when i first got thinking of it was when i was fishing in this realy nice park where kids roam around and a guy said it would be good to get the kids fishing in here and get them off the streets and it realy would be a great idea, if some fisheries could handle children then they should let them in (with an adult of course) magiscroft fishery in cumberbauld has got almost the right idea they actualy have a play park in the center of the fishery.
for the old farts i spose there could be a pond for the kidies to fish in to keep them off waters with specimens in

i think you may be right ant, about the fish being long gone 4 times in a row ive blanked fishing for roach/perch/pike not a single bite on worms or maggots or tug a lure. went to check it out yesterday and they have started draining the canal at speors wharf ive been going there a few times to check the progress of the development and so far ive not seen any sign of them moving fish so i guess ill go up tomorrow when the canal should be fully drained and see if there is alot of fish left alive
heres some pics i dug out from last week:
this is the main construction of the gate and large basin connecting the canal to the left to the one on the far right cant wait till this is done as theres some great roach on the canal on the right (took from my kitchen window
aboive is the little digger that was diging up junk and pulling itsself along with its digger disturbing ancient beer cans and antique buckfast bottles
-
theres been a ton of cunstruction going on at my local canal (Speirs Wharf in Port Dundas, on the Forth & Clyde Canal)
heres what its been like the past few months. it all began many months ago "i forget the date it started" first i noticed they had been blocking off a small portion of the canal where it ends at speirs wharf and i didnt know what was goin on "this was before i took up fishing" then they started draining this small part of the canal and before i knew it they had started building a lock gate and connecting the canal to another canal not far away, i think it may be called pinkston basin, it was used for commercial transportation of materials and things were they are connecting it to is rather stagnent but has some realy nice roach in it, anyway alot of things have been goin on at the main construction site and few months ago it was said they dumped to much dirt or somthing in the water killing most of the fish by taking out the oxygen. now they have started puttinbg floating barges with small jcb diggers in them, the barges have no engines so the jcb drags its self along using its digger on the bottom of the canal stirring up lots of bottles, cans, asda bags, and other things you find in a rubbish tip along with stiring up chemicals that had lay under the dirt you can see it on the surface as though petrol or somthin had been spilled in a puddle, they say that they are going to dam and drain the entire speirs wharf area so they can dig it up to make it level with the new canal connection, they will stun fish and move them over the other side of the canal at applecross street "where the nolly barge is"
ive ben fishing the canal since i started fishing and its mostly a hard part to catch anything usualy 2-3 perch/roach around 2-5oz but as the construction has been getting more and more ive not had 1 single bite in months as far down as firhill basin. other more experienced anglers than myself have been feeling the strain. one old timer springs to mind, from 5am to 9pm not 1 bite.
anyone any ideas ? fish to scared ? or have they probably died and floated away note that i havnt seen any dead fish although ive seen alot of roach in a very poor condition, blackness or green around the scales and covered in lice counted 6 on a single fish once

-
His looks a lot bigger than yours poach
Well done anyway.
what an awsome days fishing that was, even the little ones give a realy great fight, and andy will tell ya i hooked somthing that at the time seemed large fightin like its life depended on it. got it in and it musta weigh at about 6 to 9 oz.first time i got to post here in ages, spent all my money on fishing gear i couldnt pay my phone bill and internet so now im in an internet cafe
edit:
oh another thing, that perch there gave me a neat little row of puncture wounds on my hand as i was releasing it back into the water still got the marks about a month later

i have no pics of this bird so heres a description
beak is entirly yellow, above the beak on its forehead is a bright orange bit it has bright yellow feet and its body is short but chubby looking with black feathers and a little bown and white toward the end of its body when it paddles its head bobs up and down like a pidgeon and makes one hell of a noise when its squaks or what ever it is (bird call?) andy macfarlane thinks its a grebe but i just looked up pictures and its not it, also a friend on msn reckons its a coot but they have white part on their forehead not orange now it does look an awful lot like a coot but my bird is shorter and the obvious bright ornage part on its forehead
if anyone knows or has any idea what it is please post a picture or a link to one
as a side note ive been seeing alot of them up the forth and clyde canal and today i had one hiding in some reeds near where i was fishing and every so often it would let out one hell of a squake scaring me half to death

take your pie and stuff it, make the wine

yeah it doesnt work its totaly random although it did give me the correct symbol a few times but got it wrong more than the ammount of times i tried
if you look at the numbers the symbols are repeated alot, just increases the amount of times it will get it correct
-
lol i liked that start of it toward the end it got kinda gross
