jules007 replied to godfrey's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
0.30 diameter i also got a new 42 inch landing net from NGT and for the price its spot on -
So having made a return to carp fishing i will be using my old budget 11ft 2.5lb rods to start but plan on new rods early next year, looking on ebay i keep seeing a lot of 9ft 2.75lb carp rods, and have to wonder is this a new trend for short rods or are these more like stalking rods

jules007 replied to godfrey's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I have just loaded my reels with NGT 15lb camo mono line, it looks nice and has a low diameter (my old line i took of was about 17 years old oops but had not been used in all that time) i was a little concerned with thin diameter so cut a 2ft length and put a loop not each end, hooked one end to door handle and other on digital scales pulled for a break and it snapped at 12.5lb, the old ESP Crystal 12lb snapped at 5.5lb -
have to say in all the years of fishing i have never been checked but when i decided to return to fishing after a long break, first thing i did was go on .gov and buy a 2 rod course licence, and that arrived yesterday
-
no that was a little lake in the Nene valley i was on and it was a very big common i was chasing, it was the Nene valley lake that kinda broke me did 2 seasons and zero carp out just a few bream and Tench

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
-
the old Sundridge alarms cleaned up, new batteries and still work, very happy about that
-
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

Sadly AJ Jewson has gone to the wall, and it was a right nice shop might try calder angling

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

here is another vote for Terry Hearns books, superb read
-
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

Recommendations on stove
jules007 replied to hookedoncarp's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
Either Go Outdoors or Blacks or check on Ebay. I'm still using the Web Tex Warrior stove I recommend on this thread: http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=28868&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=stove&start=25 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
