No camo for me because if i fall they rescue can't find me along the waterside

gr jerry

Another good reason not to wear cammo, I had never thought of that.

 

 

i love the camo ledgers, does any one reckon or know if they really work? like can a chub or barbel really think, aye up thats a lead! there is a hook about! im off :unsure:
I think these are designed more to catch the eye of the angler rather than to confound the gaze of the fish.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

you guys just dont know what your on about do you?

 

Lets be logical here, camo and especially realtree is PUKKA and the carp know its PUKKA! no self respecting carp would be caught by an angler not using camo bite alarms, a realtree pattern rod, camo rod pod.

 

Theres a simple rule in fishing, if you wanna catch fish, you need to be wearing everything camo, you need a camo camera bag for those easy to find cameras,camo bait buckets, camo bivvys and camo lucky trolls!

 

You could of course disregard all of this and not look like a complete idiot. Dont know if youll catch owt though, just ask nick hellieur or that fat bloke (is it ian toombs?) or better still jan porter. These guys only catch fish cos of their camo attributes!

 

Oh yeah, I forgot the final ingredient - camo hooks.

I not exactly sure whether traditional camo pattern leads would actually make any difference but I definitely try and match the colour of the leads I use to the colour of the riverbed. It makes sense really, I don't know of that many metallic river beds..

I tend to use lumps of coloured plasticine in lots of situations.

I'll have to say I would buy the larger sizes of shot, SA's, SSG's e.t.c in muted browns or a dark green. Those Anchor shot stick out a mile on a low clear river.

No word of a lie, today I went fishing at my fave pond and saw someone wearing all the camo gear and sporting camo bait-boxes/rod-pods/chair/etc - and with camo-style paint on his face!!!

 

Now, how far would you go to look like a prat? :rolleyes:

Maybe he planned to do some shooting if the fishing was slow.

 

Was he at least wearing a proper pattern to match his surroundings? I mean, mossy oak if you are sitting next to reeds is so gauche as is desert if in the woods.
