Congrats to liam well done young man

im wanting to havea play at building my own website whats the simpelist way of going about it chaps? And is it A. difficult B. cheap or can you do it for free any where?

Oooooooooops indeedy

Any body know any a reasonable distance from nottingham/derby and at a push staffs preferably tamworth side {inlaws live there lol} thanks lads

At the moment its about 2ft up and a nice colour and temps about 7.25c few fish being caught at stoke bardolph while i was having dinner at the ferry boat inn Ooops just realised thepost was dated 12th of feb sorry

Just know of the 1 that the father in laws in and thats the kettlebrook fishing club i know they have a stretch of the anker and have regular club matches if you want any more info i can ask for you, just let me know

When i used to be a canal angler chooped worm and caster on the far bank accounted for the bonus fish, mainly chub and roach but we are talking a while ago {Erewash canal} and if theres not much boat traffic maggot down the middle was the way to go and squatt and fine groundbait {a mate of mine always swore by sensas picarde}close in at 2.5 m wether this would work on your cut i dont have a clue but you dont say if your pole fishing or rod and line?

Congrats ginge, mine was a monster gudgeon from the local canal { or it seemed that way}, i remeber i sat sulking until my dad took me down there { about 9 yrs old}, as my cousin was on holiday catching carp i was really really miffed as we both started at the same time and hadnt caught a thing between us, then this post card dropped through the door bragging about all these fish, so off i headed fibre glass float rod in hand and 1/4 of a pint of the finest mixed maggot money could buy on went the only float i had at the time and 20 minutes later under it went under yippieeeeeeeeeee my 1st fish! Needless to say i think the carp fishing spolit him, he doesnt go any more lol.

Bet thats got your attention not ever so fishy is it, does any 1 out there know where i can get some from for making float bodys? Got hold of some crow quills {about 100 lol} and im wanting to make a few toppers/avons and im fed up with using balsa wood and a drill. If not, does any 1 know any where you can get shaped bodys from? I know this home made float makings a dying art but its something to do on this cold dark winter nights isn't it. Thanks in advance chaps

Cheers dave couldnt find it on amazon must have been pilot error on my part

Any 1 know if its been reprinted or do i have to buy a second hand copy off of ebay? And is it as good a read as people say?

Ok so im being a tad tight here but her indoors is moaning about the amount im spending on gear of late so can any 1 better £7.00 for a 100 2"x3" bags{solid} and if so where? lol

I know its nothing new but saw these to posters fly posted in Nottingham last week nothing supprisng there, apart from the fact they were on a disused building next door to a fishing shop {believe its planet carp} the question i ask my self is are the shop staff blind? Or just unwilling to do something about them? P.s sorry about the quality and all the bloody camera phones

Id say pole every time and go for the longest your money can stretch too, made the mistake yrs ago when buying my 1st pole and got a 11m shakespeare thing was always 1.5/2 m to short for the far side of the canal! And try and get 1 with as many spare tops as you can, bought 1 earlier this yr for the uncle in law was a middy s2 12.7 and was mightly impressed as it only cost £150 and you got extras galore with it.

Its -4 out side and im off fishing the wife thinks im mad is she right?

Going to deepest Norfolk in march for my 1st wedding anniversary {the wifes letting me take my tackle,bless her} and the place where stopping at lakeside country club has a stretch of the Wensum running through the golf course was just wondering if any of you Norfolk folk could furnish me with any information? Cheers in advance

Whats your opinion on the best way to use bread for chub fishing? At the moment im just giving it a quick blitz in the wifes smoothy maker and im more than happy, but was wondering what other peoples opinions were?

Just wondered why browning steve? dont know about now a days, but a few yrs ago even top of the range browning poles were to soft for us east midlanders {according to my gaffer at the time Bob Nudd liked a softish pole, oooh er missis}. You dont say what sort of fishing you do canal/commercial/river?

I have to say in theory it sounds a good idea, but would it work in practice?

Barbus i know its not that bad, but the chap im going with has never fished a river before so i dont think its a good idea for a river virgin lol found some where any way but cheers

Any 1 know any where fishing reasonably well in the notts/leic/derby areas? Im taking a chap from work thursday who only usually fishes commercals, so get the ideas in quick please chaps as i think the trents a little bit out of sorts{was the origanal venue oh joy of joys}

Partialy agree with you there zedhead especially with the turmeric, but 1 thing i have to say is the endorsing of products doesn't tend to happen with the AB ones unlike dynamite,VDE,sensas & co

I can try DS but im not prize winner when i comes to writing on the internet, but ill see what i can do.

Snap kev same place i get mine, but im going fishing with the great man himself next month so ill get a couple off him while im there:P {the wife treated me as a 30th borthday present}

Has any 1 ever used them and what do you think of them? Just asking as ive been reading his books of late and wondered what other people thought of his ideas?
