fishtec,

 

A neophyte on fishing maggots. Don't misunderstand, I have plenty of experience with maggots - just not as fishing bait. So - - - - my question.

 

How do/would you keep 10 pints from hatching before you would use them?

 

Seems it would be a 'ell of a chore putting a fly on a hair??

Keen British anglers have a spare refrigerator and/or freezer in the garage just for bait. At 4 degrees C maggots don't progress into chrysalids, though they do shrink with time and after ten days they are very tough and shrivelled.

my question is were are these future world champion,its all carp or barbel.

 

And what is so wrong with it being all Carp and Barbel?

 

Do we really need world champions, I kind of think it would be rather nice to have no exceptional talented match anglers around. It would be so nice if the out dated practice of match fishing just drifted away to free up more waters for specimen or pleasure fishing.

 

If only the Angling Trust would campaign to have all match fishing removed from lakes and rivers and moved back up north to some canals they might even tempt me to join. The South East of England should be designated a match free zone and any one seen carrying a pole should be deported north of Watford to live out there life with a cloth cap and whippet.

 

Why is so wrong for some one to want to go fishing for Carp with out serving an apprenticeship on the whip catching Gudgeon and Roach first. I used to use an old piece of cane that I nicked from Mr Brown's runner bean frame once I seen him pack up to go home from the allotment. Could not afford real line and so had to unpick the darn from an old sock :rolleyes:

 

When I was a lad, I only dreamed of catching those Carp. It was 20 year before I caught my first one and that was on boiled spud. Yeah and kids used to be forced up chimneys to clean them. Blah Blah Blah

 

We don't need Roach, poles, maggots, Dace, jumpers for goal posts, cane rods, match hooks, tobacco tins, quill floats, micro shot, white caps, seat box's, red or blue clothes and were certainly can do with out World Champions. We are British after all, the idea of us being World Champions at anything is just ludicrious :D

At last

A serious and in depth look at angling as it really is.

The AT should take you on as a consultant.

 

Well said ;)

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

 

 

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

I admire your persistence Stephen, I really do. I'm sorry to say that the bait still isn't quite tempting enough yet. But 8 out of 10 for effort. :thumbs::P

 

John. (A Northern ex match angler, with flat cap, but no whippet).

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

That's no good, I always thought the Whippets was the best thing about coming from the north, well that and the John Smith's Bitter :D

Ee lad, thas gettin the'sel in a reet muddle. I'm a Tyke, and terrier were t'mutt of choice on this side of t'ill. I'm told that whippets were t'other side.

Sadly now you're more likely to meet a Staffie cross, than any other dog. They're the canine equivalent of carp, bloody everywhere! :D

 

John.

 

PS. John Smiths bitter is one of those beers (like Sam Smiths) if you get a good one it's very good, :drunk: but if you get a bad one, it's bloody awful. :yucky:
