Island 991

cheers! The beccles one is the one i couldnt find! id drove round the ellough estate! can you describe exactly where it is?!! thanks again

Hi there. Just moved to suffolk from the channel islands and am looking to get back into coarse fishing. Looking for a good tackle shop in beccles/bungay/halesworth kinda area to stock me up and give me advice etc also to get hold of licences etc i know there is one in beccles somewhere, but i couldnt find it and when i phoned them they couldnt tell me where the shop was......?!! Its on an buisness estate somewhere, but i drove round and round and couldnt find it and the guy in the shop (on the phone) said 'sorry your asking the wrong person'........errr........??!! how do they get to work each day?!!!! anyway cant be that good if they cant help me find it, so not getting my buisness!! anyone know of any other shops that can help me!! thanks

true, but as i have said these are not secret venues, all i did was google a few places and read a few books! any tom dick or jane could do the same!!

are people really secretive about this kinda stuff?! ive put together a fairly good list of fisheries in suffolk and norfolk just by using info on the net, searching etc. all faily pulic info!! and i dont even live there yet! (im moving to suffolk in a few months!!)

no takers? fair enough!

anyone?

ok ive started to write my own fishing POI starting with fisheries in norfolk and suffolk. mostly day-ticket, but also private club lakes as well. its not complete by any means. what im looking for is someone who is prepared to let me email it to them so i can find out if it is working!! i dont want to spend hours doing it only to find it only works on my tomtom! pm me if you have got 5mins to spare to let me know if it works on your satnav? thanks

can anyone pm me the contact details for ladywood. im moving into the area from the channel islands in the summer and looking for places to fish in suffolk. thanks

wondering if anyone has made/found a satnav POI that shows fishing marks? either fresh or saltwater? be interested if anyone has? cheers

now hang on......i remember sash windows! just wasnt clear when we were talking about crab pots what a sash weight was!! my brain doesnt go from crab pots to wooden windows in one leap!!!

sorry for my ignorance what is a sash weight?! i think we can get non-floating rope here so i can use that maybe.

so how does one go about laying pots? what do you use to weigh them down?

thanks for that. can you sink and draw when you have to cast out a few meters? wont it just pull back and forth ?

Is this possible/viable for mackerel? ive feathered from a boat plenty, but unsure what kinda rig would work from the shore?? feathers under a float?? any advise would help!

ive sen 2 types now. both oregon.small orange and grey ones with funny styled ariel and a darker/black one with orange/yellow buttons. which are the ones people have tried??
