Could I ask ndh was that the jabo 3 and what you paid for it , cos in the net the prices vary quite a bit , thanks

Hi has anyone got or used a Jabo 3 bait boat , if you have ,question...any good ?

Looking forward to the pics , and getting some on the rogues gallery in the dining room . you might even make it onto our web site , (Fame at last) what more could a guy ask for , good lake , good fish , good food, good wife good night.

your a natural with that barra mate , you ever worked at smithfield meat market ? Glad you enjoyed yourselves, Val and I were pleased to have you here and look forward to your next visit.( hopefully)

I wasn't actually asking for advice on what to do (that I know) but more of opinions and thoughts ,maybe a fine line between the two . The concern I have is when do people stop using salt and will it become a ban on most waters because of peoples ignorance as it was years ago with peanuts etc , could it end up the same way with fish turning up dead because of salt ???

OK so lets put another slant to this topic , did you use salt in ground baits and if so do you think it makes any improvement to catches? thats what it's all about at the end of the day, is it not.

Hi we'll have the kettle on , By the way we have had 6 guys on this past week and had a total of 137 carp out upto 34 lbs with many in the mid 20's . The weather for the first part of the week was very hot and still changing to wet and windy hopefully the weather will become more stable now , we shall see. see you soon

small amounts of salt will not do harm in some cases it will do good BUT where does it all go from here , take this for a scenario .Hard fished water anglers every day of the week 50% use salt in the ground baits no closed season, thats a lot of salt . result eventually , one lake, lots of dead or sick fish, at the very least, fish that will never gain wieght because any food stuff will go right through them and out the other end,and all because someone said salt works .

I know what I'm doing regarding salt at my lake what I wanted was other peoples opinions and thoughts. It (as far as Im concerned) is the angler that maybe a bit over the top with his application of salt . Like crazedcarper says " a table spoon of salt in every couple of hours multiplied by a dozen anglers or so the lake /pond life will suffer . We all know where this has basically come from and I believe match anglers have been doing it for a good while. But where does it go from here ,, wait till we get fish deaths , as I said before just like the peanut craze in the 70's and 80's ??

I own a lake in France (Genesis) my question is mainly directed to other owners or people in the know , but chip in anyway. Salt ? the addition of salt in ground baits etc, my concerns are this , An angler go's fishing and see's salt in ground bait is ok . He then chucks in a hand full of salt then nothing happens does he add more and at what level does he stop adding it.Bearing in mind salt is not good for any freshwater species, unless in minimal doses for health reasons . Remember when peanuts where a good bait and anglers never cooked them , hence bait ban , as with tigers and other beans and pulses etc. curious I am

36.5 lbs nice aint it

Next up came Alan with 32 fish to 637 lbs and a pb Common at 28.10 well done that man.And last but not least came John, unfortunately only fished for 4 days but managed to catch carp to a total wieght of 414 lbs at 19 fish . that'll earn you guys four smiley faces well done we all had a great week
