  1. I will always do a recce if I have not fished the area before. I will then make a mental note of the various swims and pack tackle accordingly. It adds to the excitment, seeing new swims, working how to tackle them, spoting large chub etc. I have a number of times gone for "a nice country walk,just the two of us" along various rivers...... It's true that the preparation bit, the night before for me, is all part of it. The excitement of what the next day will bring, although there is also something to be said for the "sod it" let's grab a couple of hours
  2. Wow, it would appear a lucky escape in the short term........
  3. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/7899724.stm Has anyone had a look yet......How bad is it?
  4. Just recently used the thermals from Uni Qlo, £7 or £8 per peice, for skiing and rate them very highly. In the past when static fishing in the bitting cold, i have set up a small BBQ next to me, toasty and the smell of cooking sausages is really something to warm you up.
  5. Andy Thank you very much, really helpful
  6. Not sure if this is of any help....can you get to the other side? You mention over hanging tree's, if one is slighlty upstream of the line your fishing you could hang a bag of maggots and adjust the size of holes for feed rates.
  7. Have to agree with tigger, I bought a second hand microlite from Mr Middy and I have to say it's an absolute pleasure to use and cost very little. I can use it to trot all day long without the arm ache I used to get.Unless you really want that "box fresh" look, I don't see the point in adding a zero to what you pay to get the same from a brand new rod
  8. Thank you to every one has replied-Very helpful Steve-It does not really go beyond 12 feet deep but varies . It also has variable speeds, part of it actually being tidal. I was going to concentrate on the deeper/ slower runs on the non tidal, and follow an hour either side of high tide in the tidal range. I am following the logic that deeper slower runs is where the bait fish will be shoaling this time of year so in theory the preds will follow. I think for the time being i will leave the resovoir alone. Maybe start a new thread when I have a bit more expeirence As for rods I am intending to get a Whychwood Sharpshooter Spin - 8ft, 20-50 casting weight, which from a previous thread seems to be recommended as a good general spinning rod.

    Lures?

    Hello Been a while since I posted, although can often be found lurking. I intend to have a serious crack at lure fishing fishing over winter. Having already read advice on the rods & braid required I would like to know what sort of lures I should be getting to create a reasonable lure set. In particular any brands/styles I should look out for. I saw a previous thread that spoke very highly about Ondex I will mainly be fishing a small river(quite snaggy in places)containing perch, plenty of jacks and the odd double figure pike, although may also have a go on a small resevoir from the bank
  10. Ferret (rabbit? )If you need applications that do those things go to http://sourceforge.net/ It's free open source Dan
  11. Oops, it appears I have confused the hunter with the hunted!!!! Sorry!! Dan
  12. When you do chose your swim, make sure you plumb it before fishing, look for holes and shelves in the depth, the holes and by the shelves are natraul shoaling places, also deeper swims as the weather has turned cold, fish tend to move deeper in the cold weather Dan
  13. Oooooooooooohhhh shiny new board
