  1. Yeah, you followed me Hey, when I asked you which way you'd travelled to get to my house you had no idea. "I followed the Satnav". And you used satnav to get to Merrington. For your fourth visit It's 15 miles from your home. Ian It's 45 miles & that's a lot of road to get lost on. Truth is, i wouldn't attempt a 5th visit without the Tomtom
  2. Yeah, you followed me
  3. It might help if you say which date you have in mind
  4. http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=42395&highlight=undertow It's a good read
  5. 4 anglers max, book up in advance. Sorted
  6. I just have, & i like what i see me too fancy a sesh guy? Go on then. Shame about the barbless rule though
  7. I just have, & i like what i see
  8. As far as i know, Stewart Derbyshire is taking over. I have no idea when it'll re-open. Might be worth a trip down there for the full story.
  9. It's in limbo at the moment. Nik has sold up & moved on.
  10. I firmly believe that most carp are caught in spite of our rigs, not because of them. I've seen so many videos of carp spitting rigs out that it's a wonder we catch any at all.
  11. If you mean Pool Hall near Wolverhampton, it's froze over. I imagine it would be a wasted journey.
  12. One whole day without a take?
  13. Ditto 1st venues to enter my head Doesn't western park have accomodation too? See for yourself http://www.rhfisheries.com/
  14. I've read it twice. Brilliant
  15. It's been there for at least eight years, maybe a lot more. 40lber? Don't believe the hype
  16. couldnt agree more!! Same here, but it's difficult to educate people when you have Jim Shelley advocating using 30 feet of the stuff. Slowly but surely the angling world is realising the dangers of leadcore. Our best hope is that more fisheries ban it.
  17. Sound like you're doing ok on your own Which pool are you fishing?
  18. No text talk please, it's against forum rules http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=47539
  19. There's so much wrong with that post, it's hard to know where to start. So you don't fish on the surface? Or use zig rigs? In 10 years of using mono straight through, i've never lifted a scale. That can't be down to luck, 'cos believe me i'm just not that lucky. As Moorsey said, knots are far more likely to get under scales. If stretched mono were like cheese wire, i'd only land half a carp. Mine tend to be whole.
  20. Oh lordy Safe zone leaders are designed to create a safe feeding zone around the hookbait. They're not about protecting the fish. Danny says as much on one of his many videos. Either way, they're pants.
  21. A few tips on winter fishing here http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=23380
  22. Trust a pikey to know about an adults only caravan club.
  23. Trench & Randlay can be nightfished. Not sure if you have to be a TAA member though.
  24. Next time you're in a tackle shop, have a look at size 8 hooks from Korda, Fox, Gardner etc. They all do near identical patterns, but each hook will be different in size. I've seen size 10s that would pass for 6s
  25. That's not a bad thing. It's going to be hard for anyone to moan about the place after they've read your post.
