  1. Looking at spending abit of time on the back lake (faraway) this year not much in search on here ... the website has some info and pictures but cannot find anything on the actual lake itself. Hotspots if any ... depths etc etc I have google earthed the place and its surrounded by trees so its gonna be choddy come early spring ... whats it like in summer weedy ?? ... did a youtube search and see they had weed cutters in there 4/5 years ago. Also any recent info on the place how did it fish this past year ... fish numbers etc etc Just collecting all the info i can get to give me the best possable start from what i see is not an easy place. Thanx all
  2. My last time out i had 2 double takes ... i had 4 runs that day 😑😑
  3. Some nice fish one thing i would suggest that is to keep the carp close to the ground and with a carp matt underneath them when taking photos i have see fish dropped from standing up position and its not a pretty sight ... the last photo of the fully scaled would of made for a much better picture if held in the correct way. But some nice fish sir well done.
  4. Some really stunning fish chaps well done to all this page will get me throu the blanks and keep me going.
  5. Sometimes little tweeks can be the difference mate ... one that comes to mind is an old park lake i spent quite a few sessions on blanking and one session i decided ill try summing different but not drastic as i didnt think at the time i was doing much wrong so i tipped my baits with small artificial corn a small tweek and it was like someone flicked a switch and i started catching ... i still try and get down there now and then and still to this day tip my baits with corn and it still works. Stranger things have happend i once hooked a jack pike that took my tutti frutti pop up after i just cast out on the drop
  6. I wouldnt say advantages is the right word ... every rig has its time and place to be used on any given day one will out fish the other and vice versa ... best bit of advice is find a rig you have confidence in and stick with it ... the main reason i use the hinged stiff rig is most of the places i fish are old silty lakes and i can use that rig for 90% of my fishing.
  7. 3 seasons 2 fish it just had that look about it mabey next season ill give it a bash places like this is what i live for.
  8. Thats key bud stick to what you no works ... many times changing things after a few blanks only gets more blanks in my experience. I have a couple of lakes that i no like the back of my hand and always good for a bite when things get tough elsewhere but them blanks for me is what keeps things intresting.
  9. See im not the only one tiddler bashing then Well in mate good to have multis in one session shows you was on the fish and your rigs and bait are working a very positive session.
  10. It just looked like that kind of water when i drove past ... can only fish a 3rd of the lake thoe as the rest is ringed off as nature reserve ... being 30 acres any preassure and they can just back off into it deffo a campain place.
  11. Anyone have any info or fished it before looked stunning from above on the m25 as i went past did a little search gotta be a few uncaught monsters in there surely.
  12. 8s and 10s with 10 millers ... 6s and 8s with 15s and 4s with anything bigger. Its what works for you with the rig you are using that you have confidence in the above is a basic rule to thumb im sure the combinations have all been done at some point. Goodluck
  13. Told you peg 6 at 45 yards Well in smurf ... broke the duck more shall follow now mate.
  14. Hi dave im after a match reel for my floater rod i dnt want a big heavy baitrunner when your holding a floater rod for a fews hours weight matters ... the 6lb and 10lb lines i use depend witch situation im in ... as for backwinding never got on with it i was in an age where the only reels we had where rear drag and thats what im use to.
  15. Tbh if you want a cheap baiting pole/spoon ... get on ebay buy and old sectioned pole you can find all sizes on there and pick them up for peanuts ... you can buy net pole screw inserts off ebay aswell ... lose the very top section of the pole it will be to thin ... start with the 2nd section and cut if needed and slot the screw insert into it ... use some gorilla glue and it will never come out ... job done.
