One i have used although you need a good hiding place i.e under the floor if possible or like me in the wall when some building work is taking place, is to buy one of those wireless doorbell things load it with batteries and place in the suitable place keeping the button for yourself, then press at your leisure.

Sounds a Brilliant idea count me in aswell.

I had a look at the website the other day and noticed it was a bit on the expensive side. I just hope i can smash my pb for that price. Thanks for the help medwaygreen.

Hi all, Im off to Monk Lakes on Thursday morning for a 3 day stint, and was wandering if anyone had any tips for the specimen lake (mallard i beleive). Good swims, tactics and baits, any info would be much appreciated. Thanks, Chris

My local supermarket has been selling turkeys all year round

I had better take some money then, i havent been fishing for long and have got some old bts that were given too me by a friend of the family, and can feel a spending spree coming on too add to it.

lol that tickled me not as much as it tickled the lion tho

Hi all Just wandered if had been to an angling show? I'm off to one tomorrow in Detling, Kent and was just wandering what people think of them and what sort of thing i should epect as this is the first one ive been to? Cheers Chris

Like it

Cheers guys that was a great help ive got it now

Hi all I have got a small river near me that contains lots of brown trout upto 2lb and some chubb as far as ive seen. Ive grown up in this area and have never found out the name of the river or where it starts and ends. I was wandering if anyone knows of a good website that might be able to help? Cheers Chris

Brilliant cheers GlennB i will have a look when i get there.

Even if i did get a slug hooked i wouldnt be able to take it off the hook once it has been mutilated.

Cheers GlennB, do you know what garage it was i.e. shell?

Ive heard that slugs are a good bait for chubb, just not sure if i can bring myself to hook one Im getting down there on the 14th Oct, im only down there for the weekend so i will let you know how it went when i get back.

Cheers DannyS i will try it out. If there is big chub in there im sure i can live without the the barbel The Stour runs through Gillingham doesnt it? (or very close)

Hi all Im heading down to dorset in a few weeks and will be staying in shaftesbury ( i think thats how its spelt)near gillingham. I was just wandering if anyone knows of any decent chub/barble rivers in that neck of the woods? Thanks Chris

Same here geffaz the majority of my fish are pretty tiny, but anything that is larger or just wont give up the fight i will use my carp landing net.

Thanks all i will keep an eye out for him in the future and go and moan at him when he is in his bivvy or reading his mag for not paying full attention to his carp rod But i will make sure my carp rods are out of the water when i go over

Thanks common 40 i thought there was something i may of overlooked. I hadnt thought of the argument of both his rods going off at once wish i had now. Mind your own business did come into it among other words

I will have a beer while fishing aswell but as tommo666 said i always make sure i take the can home with me, along with any other rubbish including ciggarette ends. I always pack a couple of carrier bags to put the rubbish in.

Hi all I went fishing at the weekend, saturday morning thru to sunday evening. I always take a float rod with me just for catching little roach,rudd, bream etc. while im waiting for that all important buzzer to scream off. I was doing a bit of float fishing and catching some nice bream upto 4lb on it when a fellow carp angler in the swim next to me, decided he didnt like the idea that i was float fishing and told me it was irresponsible to be float fishing while my carp rods where in the water, as i wasnt paying attention to them and could cause the fish more stress if i hooked one. :confused: I was float fishing in my swim so i was right by my carp rods, and i will never float fish if im on my own as i will always ask who im with to pull my float rod out of the water, so that it isnt left unattended and doesnt get tangled up when im playing a carp. I just wandered if anyone else thinks this is so wrong and why as im unsure if im missing something? Changing the subject slightly i managed to get a new pb of a 15lb common, which was a great feeling and i was shaking from the adrenaline rush as i put the fish back in

Good luck common 40. Im sure the photo of the 54lb common in your arms will be on here soon
