Have been looking around this morning nad hvae found a fishery called Oaktree fishery gunna head out and check it out. Have you heard any thing about it ??

Mate of mine, used a bait boat to pour sacks of gravel in to his club lake once to create a feeding area as the fish where`nt being caught. Rather a novel use of a bait boat. He still didnt catch any fish

Cheers one and all will check it out.

Lets hope that i get the day right, would love to pull out a couple 30+. Cheers for that

Hi Bingo Have fished the canal quite a bit, have pulled out some very nice Perch 2lb+ is the best at the moment also i know that there are some BIG Pike in there 30+.(Thats probably a bit big for me not sure if i could deal with such a fish) The problem i have found with the canal is that some of the best areas are totally over run by weed. Guess thats not so much of a prob this time of year. Where abouts is that ?? Where do you fish ?? Dave

was`nt aware that carp did that, cheers for the info. How about late oct, my guess is that the carp are still moving around or does it depend on the water temperature???

yep thats just about the size of it

Hi All Just a quick note, does any one here live around East Devon Area, if so could they recommend any fisheries or places to fish, not looking for specific areas or swims but general areas. Also if any one fancies meeting up and do a session in the future then that would be cool to. Cheers

Have caught some nice fish in the winter, just take some warm clothing and plenty of coffee!! santa

Hes one for you, my wife has a friend how is polish, now as you know the polish eat carp for xmas, any road they have grown this carp in the bath and it is now living in the pond. The only reason it was not eaten for xmas was that my wifes friend gave the carp a name (not sure wot it was called) she then got to attached to it and could not bear the thought of eating it. The last update i had was that it was about 10 lbs in wt.

Tis true, i have been so busy here i have yet had time to do any really fishing. May be we should tell some one about it ??? pumpkin

Thanks guys will def. look in to the above.

Carp are quite nice if you serve them with a basil/tomato and garlic sauce. Guess you could have a big dinner party if you cooked a 50+ carp. Wot you recon??

Yep def. over run with postings here !!!

I have also seen pike heads mounted on walls akin to dear heads. Gotta feel slighty sorry off mr Pike.

Cheers guys will give it a pop when i am out again.

Hi Pike is supposed to be nice to eat, wonder if thats so, isnt pike eaten in germany?? There is a 30+ in the canal in devon where i live called scar, could serve him up with a few chips and salad!! or perhapes not!! STC

Hi All Need a little help, have been using pva bags on slowish moving rivers for a while and it has worked well (6lb chub well). Then moved on to using them for carping, however i have found that i cant get the PVA bag to sink. :mad: Now i normally make a pellet/hemp ground bait. When fishing a river i tie the pva bag to the weight so that the ground bait sinks and lands near the hook bait, ideal. What can i do to make the pva bag sink in a lake???? or am i just doing something wrong when i set my rig up??? Thanks guys STC

outstanding, used to work for thames water in london, there was a 5 lb perch in a river but nothing like those. QUALITY fish. STC

Hi Fella, hope things go well, remember my first barbel, almost pulled my rod in to the river, one of the best fights i have ever had. STC

hi thanks for that will give it a go. Dave

Hi All I have been reading the posts on pellets and have been wondering, what would be the best bait to use in late oct?? Normally i use pellet as i have never had to much luck with bolies Thanks for any suggestions D

Thanks alot guys. D

cheers for that, will give it a go. D
