  1. You wouldn't use Klinik or Medi-Carp on your sore mouth. Use the right formulated stuff for the fish. Are we after saving pennies here?
  2. There is this one, but I fear a little too far South for you. Etang du Soleil
  3. ......and if you're after crayfish it's called a "walk."
  4. Bet you change your mind when they release the "Camo" version.
  5. The Fox lovers (bless em) will buy them regardless. Then there will be a flood of second hand ones on the market when the "new" camo version is launched.
  6. I have a standby bait like that. When the in vogue bait seems to lose its attraction(through overuse IMHO) I reach for my shelf life Source boilies. Normally does the bis.
  7. I think the Bombay surprise would have done well. But I ate them all before we arrived at the lake.
  8. They probably read post No 2 from me on this thread.
  9. What's all this got to do with the original question?
  10. I dunno! If thats the case any method suggested would work. It's Sunday after nightshift and I think I shall call it a day on this thread.
  11. Has this law been in long? I still use lead drilled bullets less than 1 oz and Arlsey bombs down to 1/4 oz and have been for over 40 years.
  12. That's fine vag, but how does he recast to the exact same spot again after retrieval?
  13. But after a run you have lost your distance again. Using the tape method is fine. I saw an article somewhere and the guy was using tape, but used two pieces close together in case it slipped after casting \retrieval.
  14. Tie some marker braid on to your main line at a convenient position after casting to your desired spot. When you cast again, reel in the line so the braid is at that position. Hey Presto! Some people use power gum, same difference.
  15. We don't get the fishing gear in Ireland until 30th March. I was only after one thing, the lights. Guess what! Correct......
  16. Not quite the full truth. Some alarms of the roller type rely on revolving magnets and either reed switches or other magnetic field electronic sensing devices. As for the placing of the visual indicator; I have always put mine onto the line between the reel and alarm\front rest, before the first ring on the rod.
  17. I am not recommending any alarms. At least with the Ron Thompsons you wont have to worry about them being stolen. The Solar banksticks are a different matter though.
  18. They don't have to see the bait on the bottom. The oils rising to the surface and the remnants left on the surface after casting or throwing it out is enough. Most of the waters I fish are not clear and they still get the location spot on. Honking ducks? Must have been something they ate.
  19. Where am I going to put all these new rigs?
  20. I thought that was a toucan!
  21. The reason the luminous paint works better after being exposed to natural light is that it requires the UV element. You should be able to purchase a key fob sized UV source from your local tackle shop. I use one to recharge my luminous butt rests.
  22. Top lip? Interesting!
  23. A very nice way to end anyone's season.
  24. Here in the Midlands of Ireland May and September. Whereas in the South of Scotland it's June and September. In the South of England, I don't have a clue these days. But one thing is for sure it is the change in temperature; up towards spawning and down during Autumn. (The big feed before the cold weather).
