Simple question really fellas are the stonze weight system as good as the press say or are they catching more anglers than fish? Any feedback positve or negative would be great
-
im up for a dabble if the beautiful wife lets me out for the day, only problem is id have to chuck a sickie {work a lot of weekends} but i reckon it could be worth it
-
Was just gonna ask the same as dogfish depends what part of derbyshire your staying in, if your talking the peak district itself then a lot of it is fly but nearer to derby theres a ot on offer.
-
You a nottinghamite as well then Trev? And if you are do you know any decent barbel/chub swims i havent tried yet?
-
before pellet pumps we used to cheat by using a riddle and pushing them underwater much the same as using your hands but hell of a lot quicker
-
The island at stoke wier is controlled by ashfield anglers if thats any help most of the rest down stream is notts aa as for how far upstream the barbel go id say all the way if your talking swarkstone end near burton river trent au natural

If your local top nottingham simon your best bet is to join Noots AA or something like that, you get a lot of water for £35 a yr beeston weirfished very well early mornings last year for me lots of barbel and chub, you get all of the once famous rd stretch up to stoke wier and gunthorpe wier too {members only} which looks extremly good or did yesterday
{no pun intended} as for victoria emabnkment give tim aplin a ring at matchman supplies being virtually on the doorstep he should know {the flats used to be the pegs but im going years back now}if you fancy a trip in the season drop me a line. -
Snap big tinca but mine was only 9lb 8oz
P.s How many U.K rivers hold a decent head of catfish and salmon?
P.p.s cant decide between a roach or a barbel :S

Dont know if any of you lot out there can help but here goes, got a 150 gallon pond in the garden{with uv filter and pump}, and earlier this yr took the fish out to clean it noticing 2 carp and 1 shubumpkin {excuse the spelling} had rotting mouths {thats was the best discription} and 1 gold fish was bloated, to cut a long stort short went to the local aquatics centre for treatment and every thing seemed ok until this weekend, the bloated gold fish has suddenly aquired rows of black spots on its flanks and a couple on its head and 1 carp's tail and dorsal fin seems mor ragged than usual, is this any thing to worry about and is it treatable? if photos help give me a shout and ill try to catch em and take piccies thanks in advance

What sort of price are we talking?
-
Have to agree with you chaps on the state of the angling press in general all adverts and southern or peterbourgh based carp fisheries, only buy AT occasionally to read when im at work it kills 20 mins or so, as for the one with the beard hes a decent enough chap to talk too {when hes trying to sell you his wares} but have to agree the format of the entire publication needs looking at, move with the times my a**e!
-
I know i know bit of a daft question but has any 1 got a spare going cheap?as long as its in good working order i dont care what i looks like fingers crossed.
-
DONT DO IT, i quit after working in a tackle shop for 5 yrs just needed some space from it i think, but it was the worst thing ive ever done 4 yrs with out catching a fish is a hell of a long time i can tell you, and the advancements all i can say is
hydro elastics what are they lol {i know now} as my gran used to say use a bit of knicker elastic! Like the rest of the guys have said try joining a local club you might be suprised, can i ask though what sort of fishing do you do? Carp? Speci? Match or just plain pleasure? sometimes helps in choosing what club to join thats all any how good luck and dont do it! -
Ebays your best bet mate i got 10 decent size feathers for just under £5 with postage made about 35 floats out of it too
-
SO whats ya fave fishing book out there then ladies and gentlemen? Just thought id ask as ive just finished Chris Yates falling in again, and i have to say its at the top of my list. Theres no rig information or anything technical, just a great bloody read, really makes ya wanna get off ya behind and go wet a line {juast a shame i cant at the mo}
-
jimpys on the right lines with a longer float and use a small bulk shot to counter act against the flow, ive had the problem on occasion when fishing with most dumpy loaded floats
-
fishermans friend in brum are pretty good for things like that old stock that here trying to get rid off means cheap prices lol {and im not advertising only ever used em once}
-
or even better write a nice letter to the man at browning sometimes they send you a freebie or two, worked for me when i was a wee nipper
-
Well done ginger the plac is virtually on my doorste and ive only ever fished it once, only reason being all the old timers put me off with storys about how good it used to be in the god old days, taking pillow cases of fish back home to feed the cat with, and how to make bread paste to catch em on, and why dont you sell porcupine quills any more i could go on but........................................................

Does any 1 actually use the chat room bit on the forum?
-
Its a strange world when some one says follow my advice
another thing i forgot was fine tooth hacksaw chop either side of ya split and telescope them through each other got couple of sections like that my self doesnt sem affect th pole action just the length {damn that far side of the canal} -
spent a lot of time at Stoke and Beeston wiers last yr and had some good fishing but time of day played a factor for me after about 10.30/11.00 when the sun started shining the bigger fish went off the boil keep looking to fish at cromwell this coming yr but just do as the rest of th guys said, in 5 hrs i was using 3/4 pints of maggotts{mainly bronze,blme the match angler in me} and a couple of pints of hemp/pellets through a blockend feeder and had barbel to 9lb 8oz and chub nudging 5 hope this might be some help to you
-
fun fish if its a no 3 section your better off buying a universal top 3 kit mate, but if ya local to notts and you ever do a big section i know a very good man who does carbon repairs at a cheap pice ( my old boss
) -
Your best bet would be to phone Clint Elliott up therer and sk him hes the man.
