    Having a nightmare

    A club water I fished years ago had its share of idiots... swim hogging was a common practice and groups of mates fishing a swim on an unauthorised rota to get round the long stay rules... they got really nasty if you quoted the rules.... it hacked me off to the point where I dobbed a load of em in to the committee.... if stopped for a while and some guys lost their tickets, but it left a sour taste and I left soon afterwards but it does pee you off that folks behave in this way... there's no need for it...

    Well I did a bit of searching on this forum and another one that I go on and was reading about the more budget carbon throwing sticks and ngt came up quite a lot. So I went on google didn’t find a lot of reviews but I couldn’t find a bad one. So I completely ignored what yonny told me and bought a ngt, sorry yonny πŸ˜€ But if it breaks first time out it’s my own fault mate. πŸ™‚πŸ‘

    Thank you blue label I'll help anyone if possible on here or in life I am a confident man I've lived a life like most folks on here , I love doing my thing and will allways do my thing I dont break rules I use the most powerful weapon in the world the brain I suffer with frontal lobal epilepsy and shouldn't fish on my own but I do i also dont sleep much because my brain dont switch off fishing is my way of relaxing and unwinding being out with mother nature is my tranquility just a shame it's to be shared with fools sometimes there we go that's life.

    Sadly we all have to put up with our share of idiots from time to time... whether on a forum or on the banks... we've had one or two on here lately... but its how you deal with them that will define you... I do me own thing keep me head down and crack on, as do all the other lads on here... if you wan't help with owt, there are any number of folks who are willing and more than able to help or point you in the right direction and if you are a confident type yourself,... then maybe passing on some knowledge to a newbie is a way of putting summat back into your sport The idiot on the other bank moaning about you fishing on his spots, or swim hoggers, stroke pullers, rule breakers, poachers... they are the sorts that our sport can well do without... Tight lines

    I joined a new club in January of this year and the first time I went for a walk around the place I got a very similar reception as you, it was more trying to put me of fishing this one particular lake and pointing me In other directions of other waters on the ticket. I felt like you kiss my backside and I’ll do my own thing, but I put a similar post on here and was told a lot of places are the same. So I just went fishing kept myself to myself and they came chatting to me. They have a totally different attitude now and when I went o Sunday we were just chatting like nothing had happened. Just give it time mate it will all work out.πŸ‘

  7. I think a lot of those chichester lakes hold big fish, especially on the lakeside holiday village. Runcton is the lake you want. The biggun died in vinnie' ( the seaside simmo as Id known it). Not sure how you go about getting a ticket for it mind.

    Absolutely Spot on mate. Too many people worry about what others are doing and not what they are doing themselves. It is my biggest bug bare in fishing. "He's doing this, he's done that etc". Who cares, god it winds me up 😀

    I found it funny because it was the fishery manager who told me to ask one of the syndicate members to borrow his key

    I get exactly what your saying this is exactly what I've done and like you've said I've had a few come talk to me and we have got on like a house on fire slowly but surely I will fit in and I'm old enough to also understand that I'm not going to get on with everyone that's life I'm afraid

    You're not going to make any friends like that bro. Most syndis and clubs are the same. The longer term members can become very protective of the water which is completely normal, and this can very much give the impression of a clique. It is human nature to an extent. You have two options in this case: 1 - Take the defensive, kiss my ass attitude. This will set you up for a campaign of animosity. 2 - Feel your way in, gently gently. Be on your best behaviour, show respect and etiquette (which in the long term you WILL be shown in return), get to know the members and become part of the group. End up with a bunch of new mates and the camaraderie associated with any decent syndi or club. Worry about your own results, not others mate. Being done 4 times and losing one, when "no one else had nothing" is nothing to shout about imo bro. Even if you had caught 5 there's no need to compare your results to others just to big yourself up. There is a fine line between commenting on the high and mighty attitude of others and exhibiting that exact same characteristics yourself. Relax and enjoy your new water bro. Those other guys are only human, you'll probs get on like a house on fire in the long run.

    Marker rod?

    Depends how you want to use it mate. If you want to spod to a marker float then yes. If you don't, it's a waste of space and money. I use my carp rods to lead about. If I need to determine really accurate depth with a marker float I'll just use the spod rod. Nope. They're pretty much the same thing mate.

  19. I just got a message from a mate, we have been invited up to have a look around when we can fit in with the syndicate manager. Glad I have been holding back on money while I've not been working. Saved up in case the worst happened and the hotel didn't reopen.

    Patrol Routes

    From my experience the more snags present in a lake has a big impact on fish routes & routines . As they move from one cover to the next & so on . I've sat and watched fish go from snag to snag , normally moving on when another group of fish move in to the snag .... it was almost like watching a conveyor belt . I think some fish have a day to day routine which doesn't really change much at all .... repeat captures years apart has proven that to me . really interesting subject & if you crack it on a lake .... fill your boots time .😁
