  1. Im a newby to winter carping, any basics that i can stick by? any help on locating the fish would be much appriciated as evverytime i go and have a look round, there is no signs whatsoever, well none that i can see! Cheers Dan
  2. Cheers for help all!, Landed a 7lb 2oz tench this morning! :D
  3. Im still at school so dont have a lot of money, so when i prebait i buy a big bag of pellets, 25kg for 20.99 at the local animal feed shop, they are perfect aswel, just the same as any other 'named' halibut pellets. GooD LucK Dan
  4. Lol all of u try targetting fish, go lookin around in 'Duck' mode <<<<luv it find a fish u want, then use a float nd go bag em!! great game, great fun! Cheers!
  5. Awesome love it! Can u reveal the water or is it being kept hidden? mind you dont blame you if it is! Cheers Dan
  6. Hi All, Normally a carp fisherman but i herd there was tench up to 9lb out on my local water, so i think its time i gave them a go! i think i know where they are, when carp fishing i was getting lots of small bubbles and really finiky bites, nothing worth striking, just a few beeps on the alarm, then 30 secs later a few more and my line constantly pulling. when i do get a run worth a strike, im striking into nothing il sit there a whole day not moving swims cause im thinking a tench would be nice, but its frustrating not getting one! any usuful tips, rigs, baits etc wuld be much appreiciated. Regards, Dan
  7. I'v found boillies work all round, i have carp at range or inches from the bank on bollies, favourites are Dynamite Baits 'Source' boillies. I think more natural baits also work well like maize, worms bunch of maggots etc GooD LucK! Dan
  8. Hi Chris I started fishing a 'virgin' lake a few years back, sounds very like the one your planning to fish, with carp stocked a few years ago, anyway i found that stalking with a float and a worm was an absolute killer! The carp will be very spooky so you have to take time getting into postition, being quiet and out of site, but i found they would feed quite confidently seeing as they wernt fished for previously. i would creep round a few likly looking swims and introduce a handful of maize, pellets or groundbait just feet from the bank. Then go and set up a simple rig, a float (check out self weighted puddlechuckers, there great) then a braided hooklink then either worm, bunch of maggots, maize or give boillies a try. I would then go and have a look for signs of feeding, lillies moving, clouds where the bottom was disturbed, swirls etc. wait for the fish to move out of the swim, introduce the hookbait, then they should be back in a matter of minutes. Just a tactic i found works, and still does now. Not as good as it used to be, so id give that a good go! Good Luck! Dan
  9. Hi All New to the forums so bare with me if im in the 'wrong place!' Iv searched the internet for some tips on catfishing as my local water holds quite a few up to about 25lb. I usually fish for carp there and last season had a go for catfish, after the one night session i realised i hadnt the foggiest what im doing! so the time has come again i feel to go for those cats but this time wanted to go a little more prepared. ANY information on catfishing would be much appreciated, particularly rigs, tackle, bait etc. Its quite a small water in the middle of a forest, so is quite silty on the bottom with quite a lot of snags, a few lillies and quite a lot of open water, at one end that is. The other end has more lilles, fewer snags and a gravel bottom, again with quite a lot of open water. Again any info would be great as im in the dark on catfishing at the moment! Cheers Dan
