Any views on fermentation, addition of salt or any other additives?

I always used to add a bit of salt, say a palmful to a big pan full. Not sure if it makes any difference or not. Used to do really well on it years ago fishing 1 piece of maize and a piece of fake corn.

I would buy my own and then you can boil as little as you like and it's dirt cheap.

Mine won't be long. Will have to start shaving it all off soon unless I have a comb over 😂

[Monument 2]

Hello all I'm off to the monument 2 this weekend. It's not really my cup of tea but a couple of bloke from work was going so I thought I'd tag along. Has anyone been and done any good? I've watched various YouTube videos but they are mainly when it was first opened. Just after a few tips to hopefully bag one or two. 

Thanks Paul

Good to see you back catching and posting Mate😀😉

I know it's been quite a while lol. Hope your well. I took up match fishing again and then the last 2 years got back into carp fishing again. Don't get out as much as I'd like to due to family commitments etc. 

[September catch results..........................]

Had this one on a day session at cuttle mill. 17lb 8oz.

[fisheries with huts.]

Baden Hall in staffordshire

[drayton reservoir]

Dont think it matters much at drayton. They are like phrinnas, if you cant catch there give up lol.

[leighton pools wolverhampton]

Should have used our bottle-rod approach to clear the ice Paul :lol:

 

Guy - I'm still planning on having that lump out of there that I saw, it was too beautiful not to try for it

 

Oh yeah i forgot about that lol

It's a 2 man job though as one needs to hold rod and other chuck the bottle lol

[leighton pools wolverhampton]

I've only fished it once in March 2005 when i brought all my carp gear and switched over from coarse fishing to carp fishing. Didnt really expect to catch as the pool was half frooze when i got there lol. To make matters worse it snowed in the night too and i frooze my tats off. Still it was a nice pool back then in winter.

[leighton pools wolverhampton]

Maybe the water too tough for the angler lol. Its funny when people dont catch and moan about weed in the water they say that the pool is rubbish.

[found a spot (River We"d"sum, part 2)]

Thought you ment you had found a spot on your body somewhere lol

Goto docs get it checked out might just be a wart.

[SAVE TIMSBURY LAKE HAMPSHIRE NOW!!!]

How much are they? I got a tenner in my wallet lol

[SAVE TIMSBURY LAKE HAMPSHIRE NOW!!!]

Shame when that happens they filled one in by me when building the toll rod and cut some of another one off. Dont think you can do much really if they have planning permission

[how low would you go!]

Yeah your pobably right about the hook sticking out like a sore thumb with 3 maggotts. I would use a 10 or a 12 but in a korda or something. And i would try and get as many maggotts on the clip as i could so its a nice juicy bunch.

[baden hall 24hr session?]

Do you know you gotta sleep in a shed? I heard its very weedy.

[Leighton Pools Wolverhampton]

Dont take my work for it as its a while since i last went but i think that peg you can see in the top leftish corner is pegs 8 and 9 http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=codsall&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=11.74868,28.256836&ie=UTF8&ll=52.639154,-2.212865&spn=0.001471,0.003449&t=h&z=18&iwloc=A

 

Thats all i know as thats the only 2 pegs me and my mate fished, i could be wrong but thats a good social swim if your going with your mate. Also its probably the best bet for getting your bivvy up too.

[zig rigs-whats wrong]

What size lead was you using? You want to use the lightest lead possible then that will help when playing the fish.

[big carp pools in the west midlands]

cheers to yu both much apreciated hope i get a 20

tight lines

 

If you hook a fish theres probably 80% chance it will be a 20 Good luck

[FOUR SEASONS FISHERIES, BLACKPOOL]

I just read that it opened in may this year so you cant expect it to be brilliant at the moment. I fished merringtons few years ago when it first opened on a socal and some people off here was there too. All that was caught in 48 hrs on a full lake was 1 fish on the last day. But now i think it fishes alot better although i havent been again, just from what i have read on forums.

[FOUR SEASONS FISHERIES, BLACKPOOL]

How long has the lake had fish in for? A new lake can be rubbish at first until everything settles. It could be a few years before it fishes any good.

[big carp pools in the west midlands]

last time i went it was £4 day ticket and i think its now £3 to get into the park.
