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

 

Sorry for the mix up with the dogs, we only get Staffies down sarf, so every thing else must be a Whippet innit.

 

But at least our Staffies are propa ones, 100% estate bred.

Stephen

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.

 

 

 

I keep maggots in the fridge and they arn't tough and shrivelled after 10 days, maybe after several weeks but they're still very useable.

I keep my maggots on 3 degrees C and they last for a month or so in the summer months, much longer during the winter and they're fine to use.

.... I've just had that horrible sinking feeling when reading this thread that I still have 1/2 pint of maggots sitting in a box in my tackle bag in my boot.... now, the last time I went to that tackle bag was some 3 weeks ago!.... I'm not looking forward to (a) opening the boot, (B) opening the tackle bag, © opening the maggot box! :wallbash: what a muppet!! :(

 

Cheers,

ive been using this shop,were i get on with the bit s and bobs,a small few items were bought,new spool ,line and a few words asking were the chub and dace remain in largenumbers.so i saked him what will take for 10pts,£33.20p,you will pay what his on the items and any multiples,his it just me but we allways do a deal over a gallon,later i found out,but he allways been like this ,he would give you a deal......the small tackle shops are sruggling ,but you can buy maggots on ebay.one thing wiih maggots the have ]allways kept the same.small tackle shops are not to sell majorpeices of tackle like rods reels.but i go with a rod and feel it on the blank,this you cant do on a email brocher,and young and up and coming anglers need to hang around listening,alan sherwood was tha man,growing up on the though shcool of the northern canel club waters.my question is were are these future world champion,its all carp or barbel.i took my son out on the stick,he told me after i had played with sotting patern throughout the day,no i think its not about carp fishing,a quolity to be able to reed the water even lakes,this is why i buy books,and dvd only on toni miles,if i died and only had quarter of his knoledge

 

Here in Hull, there are a couple of tackle shops selling maggots for £1/pint, and they're not crappy old knackered ones either.

 

I know what you mean about ebay seeming like being the place to buy tackle, but without our local tackle shops we'd be up the creek without a paddle (or bait, come to that). I'd rather spend a few quid more on a rod from the local shop knowing that I'm helping to keep it in business rather than buy online, plus you can stand (or sit if the owner is amiable enough) and talk fishing for an hour or three.
