That must of been a fantastic day, I would love a prezzie like that, I find birds of prey fascinating. 😁👍

I'm afraid not mate but i will next time I use it, when ever that's going to be. I will say one thing though i was surprised how much room there was more than I'd imagined. 🙂👍

This was my first overnighter in March this year, I was planning plenty more this year but I don't no when that's going to happen now. ☹

I'm not going to give you any advice on rods or reels you will get all the advice you need of the vastly experienced anglers on here. All I'm going to say is welcome along to the forum and enjoy your fishing that's what it all about mate. 😁👍

I feel for you mate it's them cheap barrrow's. Mine clasped shortly after this photo. 😥

You and me both mate I had to Google it, I didn't have a clue what the joke was. 🤣😂🤣

I don't actually measure the size of the loop I make just big enough to fit over the hook, it's just trial and era with me because if I use the rig for a pop up I like it pop up as short as I can get it. I hope this helps you Crusian.🙂👍

The answer to your question is yes 20's if I'm lucky but usually doubles. I find these rigs so easy to tie, the hardest part for me is getting the loop for the hook the right size apart from that there a doddle. 🙂👍

And forgot to mention there always hooked bang in the middle of the bottom lip. 🙂👍

I've been using the multi rig for around 12 months now and I've always used a curve shank hook with it and always a bank tackle size 6, up to now I don't think I've lost a fish in all that time. I'm 100% confident in this rig I use it for bottom baits, pop ups and wafters. A massive bonus for me is that it is so quick and easy to tie. 🙂👍

Lovely fish mate well done.🙂👍

When you fish up north you need to carry one with you too dry your gear out because it rains so much. 🤣😂

Well done mate excellent angling, it just takes the one run.🙂👍

I'm talking 20 plus years ago and at the time there were 2 definite different 30lbers in there. It was a fantastic water at the time, I couldn't tell what the stamp of fish are like now. 🙂👍

Hi Damo these used to be on the withnell ticket and i used to fish them many years ago for the pike, very hard waters put properly one of the best pike waters in the area at the time, one of my mates had his one and only 30 out of rake brook. There are some big carp in lower roddlesworth I've watched them many times in the summer cruising around on top never fished for them because I wasn't interested in carp at the time, but they have to be worth a ago, I'd be tempted to pre bait some areas and have a go for them, I don't know if anyone fishes for them now but at the time only a couple of lads used to fish for them, I couldn't even tell you if they ever got caught. As for the withnell ticket they don't have a lot of carp waters only the two I mentioned in my earlier post and I don't really know how good they are as yet I only rejoined the club in January after many years and I've not really fished a lot up to now.

Hi Damo and welcome to the forum. I'm also from the lovely north west, I'm a member of withnell Anglers and fish junior lodge at withnell fold and roach bridge lodge. You've got plenty of choice of excellent waters with prince Albert ticket. It's nice to have another northerner on board. 😁👍

Well I did my first overnighter last night on one of the waters on my new club ticket, it's a runs water nothing too big they go to high doubles. Any way I had 6. Smallest 6 1/2 biggest 10lb. It was nice to get a bend in the rods. No photo's the weather wasn't the best didn't fancy taking photos in the rain. 🙂👍

Well done any photo's for us to look at paul? 🙂👍

You do know this thread is almost 13 years old. 😂

How did you get on mate any luck? 🙂👍

Good angling mufty great start to March.🙂👍

Do you do in camo 🤣

Lovely teeth do you brush them? 😁

Nothing to serious it's just my hip really, don't really want any time of work, more bothered about my fishing than anything else. ☹

I should of been going fishing tomorrow only my second trip to my new club water, I've been so busy at work with this bad weather it's messed all my plans up. So I was really looking forward to tomorrow everything sorted, some new pop ups and glugs to try out and guess what I've only gone and fallen down the stairs this morning top to bottom. blooming stupid dog only went and left a toy on the stairs in the night and blooming stupid me slipped on it. I'm struggling to walk never mind fish, I'm absolutely gutted. 😭😭. Looking on the bright side I'm hopefully doing my first over nighter next weekend Sunday till Monday, maybe till Tuesday if I'm lucky. 😁🤞
