Hi, I will be travelling around Sri Lanka and India early in the New Year and while not primarily a Fishing Holiday I am going to try and get in as much as possible or allowed. I plan on doing whatever type of fishing I get an opportunity to Salt, Fresh, Bait and Lure, For which I have decided on a Shimano Exage 330 Travel Rod which brings me to my question does any body have any recommendations on a Reel to go with it that would cover most if not all of any circumstances I might find myself in. Thanks in Advance Dave

Try Maggots on the hook and feeding a few every couple of minutes. Works for me every time on the canal where I am

Have a look here may be of some help http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72694

I see their are Two Supermarkets close by so be prepared to lose a lot of lures unless you go heavy on the braid as your canal is probably littered with loads of shopping trolleys. I dont even bother lure fishing any more where I am as it seemed a bit unsportly hauling in Jacks on 50lb braid

Can anybody tell me if you could use Mackerel feathers for pike or perch and would size 6/0 barbed be big enough

Hi David, Sorry I cant give you much Info on Freshwater fishing in Ireland as I only took it up after moving to Britain, But try this site http://www.fishingtalkireland.com/ you should have more luck posting on an Irish site. Hope you have a great time in my Country Dave

I use Reuseable Cable ties absolutely Brilliant invention

I could'nt have put it better

Try posting on here http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/

Tony Try posting on this site http://www.fishingtalkireland.com/ You might have more luck asking on an Irish Forum

the lone fisherman or children are normally the easiest to persuade to pack up fishing and go home. http://www.anti-angling-sabs.co.uk/sab-angling.htm Read Intimidate for persuade, Just goes to show what type of Cowardly Bullies we are dealing with here

I am not complaining about the price at all, I was just wondering what everyone else pays.

I Pay £2.60 for a pint of maggots from my local tackle shop does this sound reasonable considering I live in London and would expect to pay more, How about the rest of the country?

Not a freshwater book but it does touch on it The Unnatural History of the Sea (the past and future of humanity and fishing) By Professor Callum Roberts. Absolutely fascinating reading anybody remotely intrested in the relationship between man and fish through the ages must read this book IMO.

Hi Charley As far as I am aware there is a fly only trout lake in Walthamstow the one opposite the main entrance. Do you flyfish on the Regents as I have been thinking of giving it a go myself but wouldnt know where to start. Dave

I have been told by the park wardens that their are no Pike in this paticular pond and I have never seen anyone catch one from it either.

Cheers everyone for your replies. I think I will do some reading up on various baits for Perch, Deads vs Lives etc.. I just want to catch more big Perch as they are sooo impressive looking. Dave

Hi All I had a Perch yesterday that was just shy of 3 lb that put up one hell of a fight. I just usually only catch tiddlers of several species using maggots. So I would like to try targeting the bigger Perch in the pond and would really appreciate any advice on rigs. There are no Pike in the water. Thanks in advance Dave

Hi I am spending X-Mas week in Ilfracombe and was wondering what the fishing might be like then. I'm with the Missus so I will probably be only able to fish the Pier. Any feedback is greatly appreciated Thanks in advance. Dave

Here's another Telephone +44 (0) 20 7258 1233 Sharpes of aberdeen No website available. Street Address 67A York Street Marylebone London W1H Technically not north london but it's only a 10 min walk from kings cross

Sharp's is still there I use him all the time

Hi All I was just thinking about buying one myself not so sure now. Can anyone offer advice on an easily erected lightweight bivvy as I dont drive and am reliant on public transport or the trusty pushbike. I was also looking at a Trakker A lite can anyone offer any advice on it. The cheapest I've seen it is £89.00 with free delivery. Thanks in advance. Dave
