  1. sorry to say it again but dont get bogged down with different baits stick to jamies bait its only £6 a kilo and it works in there, i tried alsorts of baits and my mate did a lot better than me, he was using the local bait!
  2. hi mate i did a week on emmotland last week i fished pond 2 as like you i heard pond one is very hard, use the bait sold at lake it seems to work and is well priced and well made if you go on lake 2 try for peg 4, seems a good peg and dont be put of by all the lillys just use good line at least 12 lb strain and check all knots are good! final tip make sure you get a breakfast from the bailiff (jamie) smashing chap, really helpful
  3. have a look at their web site mate, think they have carp to around mid thirties, and proper carp, right old warriors, think i will do august bank holiday weekend on sapphire, one draw back is london-north east railway runs near to lakes so can shatter the peace at times!
  4. hi mate, sapphire is a lovely lake with some very nice fish, but its a tricky water though if you get it right you will love it, good luck
  5. just keep it simple and as a footnote keep the rigs safe! fish welfare always comes first
  6. hi mate try the search button i think there are a good few lakes in your area, also ask in your local tackle shop
  7. the lakes just of the M1 are horbury and wakefield lagoons controlled by wakefield angling there was some story going about that a night angler got beat up and mugged but heard another story that i wont repeat. i was on club book, its a hard water and i left because they banned night fishing and everyone pulled of, but not sure if night fishing is back again
  8. st johns is a very heavy pressured water the fish have seen nearly all the tricks, but i would try 2 grains of boyant fake corn popped up and spod/catty some real corn over it, little and often, the water is gin clear and the bottom is very rough from the gravel, i made the mistake of fishing far side of a big gravel bar, that cost me a BIG fish as the gravel bar wore through my mainline (sensor at time) if when you get there have a good look at manor farm as less people fish on manor and its closer to the bogs/shower car park good luck, i was plagued by bad luck on there
  9. Hi all, me and my mate have booked a week on emmotland lake 2 1st week in july, i know it can be a hard water so i would be grateful for any imformation , like baits and tactics that work on this lake. Thanks in advance
  10. hi all, thinking i might try river carping next summer need to swat up on it ! like the rivers around stamford/peterborough area they look carpy! i would be grateful for info on where to fish...can i bivvy up and are there any free stretches! thanks in advance
  11. looking at the catch reports i would say they are back on top form, a credit to the way its run
  12. Any particular baits on linear? looking at the catch reports they seem to take anything and everything
  13. We are planning to fish brasenose 1 when we get there on the weekend, then move onto st johns for the rest of the week though that might change cause i think it will be major busy that week (july 23) i once tried google earth but the old pc tends to freeze up on it!!
  14. how do fellow carpers, can any one post some decent pics of the linear lakes at oxford, i would like to get an idea of the lakes before i make the pilgramage in a few weeks time! cheers, tight lines to one and all
  15. if fish move through an act of nature i think they have to stay where they end up, i beleive benson ended up in bluebell through flooding, might be wrong though!!!
  16. Take a pair of wellies! seriously you might have to wait a good while for the linear site to re open
  17. cheers for that, got myself a diamond eye threader:D
  18. talking helicopter rigs, i can never get the line to go through the tubing:mad:
  19. you should be ok if you put the lead in the pva then nick the hook onto the bag
