Ive heard that there have been a few decent cod caught from a boat right next to the baffle at bradwell. Has anyone been them catching off the beach? Cheers. Dom.

right, so are they futher apart/closer, bigger/smaller? sorry didnt realise that post was there Trubshaw.

What are the differences between a rod made for use with a multiplier and a rod for a fixed spool?

we've used a plug in mouse scarer before and that seemed to do the job, havent had any problems yet

there are a whole host of different baits that you could use, but some that i would recommend are: corn, small (3-4mm) pellets, chopped worm, hemp, casters, maggots. Probably a good start would be to sandwich a few grains of corn, a few small pellets, some chopped worm and some hemp between two plugs of groundbait (maybe Dynamite Baits Marine pellet ground bait). What tench/ carp in that lake could refuse? Good luck!

Try rubbing the open end between fore finger and thumb. Usually works for me.

Try getting two other people to pull and twist at the same time on either end of the jammed sections while you tap the joint with something like a piece of wood. Hopefully that will work, tell me if it does. Good luck.

I was thinking of taking the hemp and maggot/caster aproach for the chub in ricketts mer backwater (maldon angling society) on friday and was wondering if anyone else has had good results doing the same thing? Or is there a better way?

does the levelwind move across the spool as you reel in then?

cheers for the replies, what does the level wind actually do?

I read somewhere on the internet that when using braid on a multiplier without a level wind, the braid can get trapped into itself as it is not lying at an angle to the braid beneath it. Is this true, and does the level wind make the line lay at an angle to the line beneath it?

where do i find the elver program? ive tried searching for it but all i can find is the zander one. can someone help?

Ive fished totham pit quiteafew times for pike,mainly with lures and ive fished little london resevoirbut i didnt have anything decent.

has anyone fished ricketts mere backwater, i might be wetting a line there this sunday and i was wondering what the good tactics there are. i know there are quite a few chub in there. any replies would be great. cheers.

im not really sure where you are talking about but i will have a look next time i go down there as ive got a mate that lives right on the sea wall.

cheers sam, when you say the slipway do you mean the one at the sailing club that is down that really long road to nowhere. muttley, ive pm'd you but its the first time ive pm'd someone so it might not work.

I think youd be better of going with a small freshwater dead than a sea bait. If it is allowed on the water you are fishing i would try using live baits.

does anyone know of any good bass spots around mayland-sea, or any good other spots there. cheers

great fish sam, do you need permission to fish on that jetty. what sort of tackle was you using?

nice fish id say around 4lb

great fish sam, do you need permission to fish on the royal carinthian jetty coz id like to have a go myself there. what sort of tackle was you using.

is the bass spinning any good off the south east coast(around the bradwell area), if so what sort of gear would i need to start.

nice one, got any pics

is anyone a member of M.A.S, is the railway pond any good?

cheers for the replies, im going down to totham pit (essex) on sunday to do some spinning. Ive only been there once before and we had a few pike to 11lb. Has anyone got any tips for fishing there.
