  1. Can anyone tell me which club has the stretch above Tonbridge's AC section at Vexour Bridge? Or is it just farmers land and if so how do you find out who owns it for permission? Thanks
  2. Thanks Dave! My google never came up with that. Cheers.
  3. Hi Guys, Looking to join Penshurst A.S. I can find an address to write to but no website. Does anyone have details of cost, waiting lists, waters etc. I know they have some nice stretches of the Medway and Eden. Thanks in advance. W.
  4. Bugger!! I'm on a Mac!!! Site doesn't work in Safari or Firefox!!!!!
  5. Hi Steve, I get past the first page, but on the second none of the buttons work to take you to news, waters etc. Can you access those pages? If so it could be my browser but I tried Firefox also. There is a story (and I'm not sure if I've got this right) that the land inc the ballast pit had been sold and therefore the fish were netted and taken to Barden only for the club to find afterwards they could still fish the pit. Again I'm after clarification. Did it get netted? If so are there still fish? You are right it is/was a really nice place to fish. Thanks
  6. I'd heard all the fish had been taken out of the Ballast Pit which is a shame as it's a nice quiet water to fish. Is that true? Also, the website no longer seems to work so despite being a member I'm struggling to get info. For a big club, it's frustrating. Thanks

    Ibiza fishing

    Im in Ibiza and have afternoon off to fish near San Antonio. Any advice locations for some fun. Do I take spin rod or beachcaster?? Or fly rod! ha!
  8. After over 3wks my rod licence finally arrived. And with all the talk of the EA licence, it made me think. Surely the Thames (and any river section that is tidal) isn't subject to the closed season (Thames up to Richmond lock)? And won't need a licence? And has anyone purchased a Lock and Wier permit? Is it worth it and when do the Locks start and the river finish? Intend to explore the Thames this year.
  9. Ok I did it. As I fish coarse aprox. once a month and I don't expect to give up in the next 30 years I bought the preston carbonite sentinent. I looked at all the others (Alivio and Normark excepted) in the shop and it just felt light and responsive. My pin and fixed spool fit fine.
  10. Hi Steve, A feeder was far to exotic for me at that age! I'd also like to find out if the canal in Marple is closed season and whether it's free fishing or a club (Stockport fed?). I reckon if I can do those two and throw in Roman Lakes, the nostaglia trip would be complete. Someone on the forum must know the answers!!?? I probably should ring Romiley Pets and Tackle if that's still there!!
  11. I grew up in the village and want to return to fish there some point soon ( I'm now in London). Can anyone tell me..... Is it subject to closed season? Is it still Stockport Fed as I heard there was a lease disagreement with the council? Best tactics and spots to fish (As a kid it was always the bridge and maggot for perch). Thanks
  12. Thanks guys, I'm looking to spend £100-150 ideally but would break the budget if I fell in love with the rod. Hence wanting to know if something happens there is some g'tee or replacement section service. My Wychwood fly rod has snapped twice and been replace free.
  13. Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my float rod from my trust Wilson Avon Quiver. I've looked at a Preston float which was light and felt great but I don't think it comes with any guarantee if I break it? Greys float rods do, but I've not seen one yet. It will be mainly used for trotting with my Okuma Sheffield pin. Any advice please or alternative suggestions. Thanks in advance. W.
  14. I'd love to fish (and catch hopefully) the Wandle tomorrow. I've heard Earlsfield is the best spot and I have taken a reccy but I'm struggling to find a peaceful spot with good access. Help please! Thanks W.

    Winter Fishing

    Thanks Budgie, I did try that though! LOL! 2lb hook length, maggots little but often, long trotting to avoid spooking. Then switch to bread, a few handfulls of liquidised bread and a flake on the hook and bingo! 4lb-ish Brown trout. I would normally be pleased!!!!! W.
  16. I was fishing this weekend hoping to catch Grayling on a trotted maggot and chub on bread. All I caught was out of season trout (which went back withoutleaving the water)! The bream, the roach and the perch wern't interested at all. As a newbie to coarse fishing what are the best baits and techniques for this time of year? Thanks W>
  17. I didn't catch these so I couldnt check the anal fin but today upstream of the bridge (and out of rods reach) there was a shoal of surface feeding fish around 10' in length. They clearly had a black border to the tail fin. Young chub or large Dace? thanks
  18. I was lucky enough to have a friend who was a qualified fly fishing instructor but I've just now started dabbling in coarse fishing. I'm enjoying it, bringing back great memories from when I was a kid, but it would be great if anyone could recommend an instructor? I always beleive you can learn more in a few hours with an expert than years of trial and error and I like to stepup from Roach, Gudgen and Perch to Carp, Tench, Chub and Barbel (caught loads of Pike on the fly). I live in South London so Kent or the Thames would be great. Thanks, W.
  19. Hi Does anyone have details on this club as it has no website. Waters, fees etc. Thanks W.
  20. On the TV show River Cottage, Hugh Feanley Wotsit(sic) caught a grass carp off the top with sugar puffs! He then went on to eat the carp and funnily enough it tasted of grass!
  21. I've been dipping my toe in the world of coarse fishing (normally game), and on a mission to catch my first carp. Is there any point tomorrow on my only day off or are they too busy spawning?

    Tonbridge

    Thanks Guys, The Eden is marked on the website as running from Vexour bridge. But I couldn;t find it driving around for an hour or more!

    Tonbridge

    Hi I joined Tonbridge angling and fish presevation society end of last year. I've enjoyed fishing the Medway but I wondered if any of the lakes were open during the closed season. The website doesn;t seem to have an email address on it and If I write the season will be open when Iget a reply! Also, (athough not until July) I wanted to fish the section of the Eden that is theirs but couldn't find it (the section not the river). Any directions/info would be appreciated to a new member of the club and new to the area.
  24. Hi All, After a number of years fly fishing, I've been float/coarse fishing a number of times on the nearby river Medway. The last time I float fished was when I was a kid. Is there a website or book that can help me with the detailed techniques etc of float fishing? Or is there such a thing as an instructor I can hire for an afternoon (theres loadsfor fly fishing!)? Thanks, W. Sorry "Float" fishing (typo)!
