  1. I live In Salisbury and have fished to death the longleat and shearwater lakes. I know the fish by name. I used to fish bury hill down in Dorking when I lived in London and want to fish another quality venue near by that allows day ticket night fishing. The Broadlands lakes sounds good but the M27 is putting me off. Is it worth fishing when you can hear the traffic from a major motorway 24/7?? Any other good day ticket (night session) venues in the south you can recommend?? Would be after 30+ fish and would be happy to pay top dollar. Cheers
  2. Anyone on here fished it recently? Whats the costs? Any advise on swims and baits?? Cheers
  3. I have used a similar rig a few times fishing for big carp but have always bagged BIG bream. I have decided to give it another go with a running feeder bomb full of fish based ground bait, worm extract and chopped worms. The hook bait will be the largest lob worm I can find hooked once and held on the hook with a fake maggot. I will cut one end off and inflate the other to keep him well of the ground and well out of trouble. When used before the effects were not instant and it took a few hours until the big bream found it. The bites are slow to build up. I am thinking I will use a carp style set up instead of the feeder rod I have used in the past. I will be using a heavy x line to keep the main line on the surface. The link up to the hook is a fine 3x.203mm 9.2lb fly fishing line. Here are a few pics of the rig. I will post any catches. Any help or advise very welcome.
  4. To counter balance the pop-up with a short size 8/10 hook?? Just a ruff idea? I bought a couple of tubs of cheap 18mm pop-ups from my local tackle shop. One tub of 18mm Ron Hutchinson squid and octopus and 18mm Nutrabaits tecni-spice. Both for a fiver. I am busy adding some extra spice and fish oils to boost the attraction.
  5. X-Line. Has a very good ratio. My 15lb is 0.31mm and I think 10lb was about 0.26. Its a fluorocarbon line. Not had any trouble with it but it does cost a lot. I'm typing with one arm and one leg..
  6. Had one horrible bream with lots of red lumps on it that really smelt bad and two small common of about 3-5 lbs. I have washed my hands in everything I can think of but can still smell the bream!! Poor thing the marks were on both sides so I guess it would have been a Pike attack that became infected. I was fishing into silt so I used the slit/helicopter rig. I was missing lots of fish. Only having one or two beeps on the alarm(set low sensitivity to avoid wind bites!) then finding when I reeled in the stopper bead was way passed the leadcore and onto my main line with the bait gone! What other options can I use when fishing in silt tight to the far bank? The silt can be a food deep in places and you need a good size lead to reach the area. Still better than watching Matt Hayes do the fishing and some lessons will be learned.
  7. Was planning a days carping tomorrow but with the high 25mph MW winds and light rain I am starting to have second thoughts. Will the high winds stop the bites. The air pressure will be dropping/changeable which is normally a good thing. Will need the rod tips under the water or with close in back leads to prevent the alarms going off after every gust! What do you think?? (I am talking myself into it)
  8. Thank guys. I was beginning to doubt my ability after blanking most of the winter. Lets hope more is to follow.
  9. Caught on a single pineapple pop up on a helicopter ring close to the far bank in silt. Its good to have a bend in the rod again. Weight just under 10lb {admin edit - Removed link to file hosting service which makes you wait 60 seconds, use www.imageshack.us or something in future, thanks}
  10. Nothing will happen to them. Sweet **** all. We must respect the rights of foreign people in our country. Muslims can let animals bleed to death. Poles can kill/steal carp. While the tradition of fox hunting which has been practised for 500 years was banned to stop cruelty to animals. They are now shot instead... Thanks tony
  11. Answered my own question. Went to chuck in some more bait in the shallow end and the water was not even cold to the touch. Chucked in a bag of pellets and half a bag of richworth tutti and sat back tp watch the lake. 5 mins later I saw a few cap roll and jump out of the water just where I had put in the bait.
  12. I prefer the sky fishing programs myself. Tight like and Thinking Tackle with that dick with the crap hair cut. A Passion for Angling would be good to see again.
  13. I will be fishing a a steam fed 37 acres lake on next Friday that has been closed for the past three months. The weather is looking like being warm 10c ish with a bit of rain. The lake is fed from the west by a small steam and is dammed on the west end. The depth starts at about 2-3 feet in the west and rises to 10-15 feet in the far end. I have been pre baiting an area in the shallow end that in great for carp in the summer. But I feel I may have been wasting my time and bait as the temperature has dropped greatly in the past few weeks. I have blanked at this end of the lake twice before and after xmas. I know its a bit of a shot in the dark but where shall I fish?? (for carp)
  14. The same reason that the Afghan hijackers were given a council house and benefits???
  15. I only collected the empty shells anyway. I am guessing that a few salt water mussels (Green lipped) and a spray of the Van Den Eynde - Liquid Green Lipped Mussel in a fishy ground bait should do the job? Where best to get the mussels and what type to use for hook bait??
