Dont let yourself be put off by the remarks. Go and enjoy yourself. You have a rod licence the same as them and a right to fish the method of your choice

Cheers Wayne, looks like I`d better catch something big a week monday then or I`ll look a right numpty after all this! ;-)

 

Only joking, half the enjoyment for me is just being somewhere nice, by the waterside with only the sound of nature to keep me company!

Don't start playing things down now, i will be bumping this back to the top a week on Monday to find out how you got on.

Cheers Neil. I popped by this lake today with my 2 year old to have a bit of a lookaround. Really like the look of it. The fish were really active and I`m praying the mild weather continues another week so I give myself the best chance of catching some decent fish.

Is your 2 year old as confident of catching something as you are?.....

He`s streets ahead in the confidence stakes! As far as he`s concerned he`ll soon be catching sharsk, whales and Nemo`s!!!!

Cheers Andy, while one day in the future I do fancy a go at piking, its one form of fishing I dont have the tackle for and dont want to attempt it unless I have someone more experienced with me to show me how to handle one safely (thats me AND the fish) and remove the lure/hooks. For now I`ll content myself with trying to catch a nice fish anything bigger than 5lb. I`m planning on using a medium/heavy feeder rod with matching reel and most likely 8lb mainline and a 6lb hair-rigged hooklength and either a semi-fixed method feeder or a free-running leger. I haven`t a clue how I`ll do but I`m confident I`ll come back and have a story or two to tell.

 

Cheers for all the kind words and support lads. You really are the best bunch

Your tackle sounds good enough to me,i use a similar setup but mainly with a semi fixed lead/pva stick and i've caught plenty of decent sized carp.Just make sure the fish can take line on it's initial run.As for the La-La on the other forum,he's talking out of his bullet hole and he needs one of budgies camo multipliers ramming up it..
