There is Burton Carp Pit which seems to have quite a lot of 20's and a few 30's in there. I know nothing about it myself other than where it is and that its a syndicate. Its not far from The Pirelli stadium in Stretton, Burton on Trent.

I will have a look for them. They sound more like my kind of thing. I think when I think of reading it needs a similar layout to that of a book aged at pre school kids lol Haha, I am hoping this will be the case for me too!
-
I will have a look about. I said to the wife I am thinking of buying a book to take fishing and said laughed and said "well that's a waste of money, you hate reading" which is true so I can't condone spending loads, I would probably read 2 pages and put it down. I will keep an eye out for books definitely though. Cheers

Thanks for the recommendation. I will keep an eye out for one. I did think about reselling it so that could be alright. I guess even if it costs me £5 to read it then it wouldn't be too bad at all. Thanks

I saw the library thread and it got my thinking that taking a book to read while fishing might not be a bad idea. I am thinking of a fishing/carp but I won't spend a fortune as in all honesty I hate reading. I have never fully read a book in my adult life so it would need to be decent. Any suggestion would be great. No more than £8/10 maximum please. Thanks

Hi all, just joined today

Welcome mate -
I got it as part of a job lot and it looked carpy so I thought I would keep it haha. Yeah she really enjoyed it, I was really surprised how much she wanted to learn (not that I can teach her much lol)
-
Well at least we aren't all blanking! Took my daughter today instead on my son, she wasn't fully ready to hold a carp yet but she was a bit more the with bream we caught after this.

Welcome!

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with it but at the price and going of the reviews on the site it seems a good price. If you look on eBay, shpock and Gumtree you can find some bargains too. I guess if you want brand new on a budget it seems great.
-
Thanks. I will check them out!
-
Thanks for the link that looks alright and if you have got 10 years out of them it can't be bad. At the price even a couple of years would be brilliant.
-
I am always trying to nick a bargain on eBay so am happy to keep an eye out. If I need to wait then I will wait, its the main game in fishing anyway! Thanks I have been looking at Okuma actually so glad you said this! I'd never heard of them before but they do look alright. Thanks
-
Oh right, I guess going years ago with my brother in law who only has Shimano reels means I just got the name from that. I will have a loo at the ST one's and see if I can find a cheap used one. Cheers
-
I am looking for a cheap reel, preferably a bait runner, has anyone got any suggestions? When I say cheap I mean under £25 as it won't be used a lot just as a spare reel and I hope to upgrade my gear as I start to catch bigger fish, for now I can't imagine its going to work too hard! Also while on the subject what is the difference between free spool and bait runner? Thanks
-
The Fox Rapide range holder/opener thing looks brilliant. Thanks for the vid.

Fair enough! Maybe over time I will start the threads. Cheers

With summer seeming to have done one I am now starting to think about Autumn and Winter having never really done it I wondered what adjustments people make to their set ups, baits etc for the coming months to keep the bites coming in. Also what effects does the weather have on fishing? I hear about high/low pressure, wind direction, rain etc which benefit/hinder catching? Cheers

GROUNDBAITS, Method and Spod Mix
PandA698 replied to salokcinnodrog's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
Oh yeah I guess that helps! I did catch for little ones but as that was what I was going for it was a success! I will be using it again later this week/ early next week with a slightly different approach so hopefully I can catch a bit bigger this time. -
Welcome!

GROUNDBAITS, Method and Spod Mix
PandA698 replied to salokcinnodrog's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
I made ground bait the other day before I went fishing and it worked out to £1.65 for 1.25kg of it. Not sure how that compares to other baits but it seemed cheap to me. It was 1 whole loaf of bread 1 packet of meaty rolls and a sprinkle of gravy granules.. While on the bank I did add chick peas, sweetcorn and maggots but that was my preference.
-
Lol, I won't say Willesley then! There is a place in Overseal called Spring Cottage Fishery that has carp up to 28lb on the Oak pool. I am a beginner so don't go on that one yet. There is Beehive Farm at Rosliston that has up to 20lb, Longton in Ashbourne is supposed to be good as well.

Welcome to the forum. Is the Ashby you live in Ashby De La Zouch? Cheers

I can't lie it surprised me how much he liked it. Just need to get him brave enough to hold them now!
