been reading up on starmer baits and i am gonna give them a try, im thinking 15mmsweetcorn hookbait fished over some whole and chopped along with a scattering of canned corn
Asking as i was looking for sweetcorn flavour boillies and found Starmer baits sell them on fleabay, gut feeling says steer clear but has any one used them, i have an idea for a bit of a baiting up
So i dragged gear out of loft, still got a pair of rods, no brand but they cleaned up got 3 baitrunners again 2 are good one not so and that will be useful if i need any spare parts main thing i will need is a pair of cheap bite alarms and a new landing net, have ordered new line for the reels as the ESP Crystal on them is about 17 years old
some of you guys will remember me, some not but looks like from next year i will be picking up the rods again just doing a bit of day fishing on local lake that i used to fish a long time ago, need to go through my gear whats left of it and see what im going to need to buy first up will be new mainline as the stuff on my reels is about 15 years old lol
I rang Calder angling and chap thinks it will be okay to take the mrs so long as she not fishing, been going through tackle and plenty to sell or bin, even found a pair of Mitchell 300a reels i forgot i have
Im back and looking at going back to Brookfoot lake in Brighouse, but i would want to take my mrs as a none fishing guest, any one know if this is okay on there, i did email the club but no reply
I fished it a couple of years ago, plenty of carp, not sure what size they go to, maybe 20lb, can be a bit snaggy, but i had a few fish out and lost a few due to hook pulls, plus some good cats in there, nice lake to fish
I think i might have a dabble on the A1 pits later this year, been meaning to fish this venue a while now, can any one give any info on this place, i quite fancy the second largest pit, is this a good carp lake, and what size do the carp run to
Either Go Outdoors or Blacks or check on Ebay.
I'm still using the Web Tex Warrior stove I recommend on this thread:

Have to say i have the web tex warrior, been using it for a few years now still working well, and in great condition, very pleased
After we had Kye, my old greyhound put to sleep a few years ago, my daughter has pestered me non stop for another dog, i have had to be a the big bad dad and keep saying no, then a few weeks back she changed her question........."dad can i get a kitten"............"yes, providing its all done right" so we now have Albie, a white fuzzball
Really need to find a nice intimate little lake/pool no more than an hour an half from huddersfield for next year, to get my mojo back...............any suggestions
what it means is, if the mainline snaps, can the rig slide off the mainline, this is in case a fish is towing line and lead around as this could lead to a fish getting tethered and dying.
