It does look like we are bringing rain, wind, and chilly temps along with us. If Leon shows up it may even snow. :D :D

On June 1st 1975 it snowed as far south as Colchester! That summer was a hot one, that would have been remembered if 1976 hadn't been even hotter.

Newt was in the Coast Guard for 23 years and Navy for 4 years so he's good to go. I have prescription patches for motion sickness and dramimine. Thanks for asking. :)

Hi Steve, thanks for the rules and directions. A couple more questions if I may:

 

- can we fish for pike?

- what line strength and hook size would you recommend for the tench (using worm for bait)?

- Based on previous captures, is it better to use free running rigs rather than semi-fixed, e.g. Method feeder for tench?

 

Thanks again :):)

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

1) Sorry, as per the rules, no pike fishing.

 

2) 6-8lb as they're not tackle shy and there are some sharp bars. I use 8lb straight through, often with a 6lb hooklength. Many of the recent mega catches came on 15lb straight through! I use size 6 hooks for lobs or bunches of dendras, down to size 12 for a single dendra. Don't forget - no barbless hooks (the opposite of most commercial fisheries for hooks larger than size 10.

 

3) Again, they're not tackle shy so all rigs seem to work. However, I'd recommend a running rig for perch but with a shorter hooklength than normal. My starting point on lobworm at Wingham is about 15 inches. However, one of the nice things about a Fish-In is that it's an opportunity to learn as everyone tries something different.
