  1. It was when I went for a look, a syndicate IIRC. But that was easily 15years ago, maybe nearer 20.
  2. Not heard anything about this for years. I went for a look round once, the owner was a "unique" sort of guy!
  3. Does anyone have any info about these 2 lakes in Market Rasen please? Behind the Land Rover dealer. I was thinking about taking a ride down for a shufti but lockdown put paid to that.
  4. Never used it, is it any option? Is it ok to use with PVA mesh?
  5. Cheers for the replies. I have some soaked and boiled nuts currently soaking in betalin ready for the spring. Casting isn't a problem as I drop from a bait boat with a PVA bag enclosure. I'll be crushing and drying some for PVA bags.
  6. Cheers, I've been using very few tigers as free offerings, less than a dozen on each rod. The fish do spook off large beds of bait so I can imagine if there's a concerted baiting campaign they'll get fed up and avoid tigers in a pretty short space of time, hence why I'm looking for an edge over tigers before they blow. I did well last season on tigers but even better when i crushed them and mixed some hemp in too, as fas as i know no one else tried that so I'll keep on with the same approach but change to a brazil nut as hookbait on one or 2 rods and see what happens.
  7. Cheers, unfortunately I'm not the only one using them, they've been used on and off for years but came into their own last season. But the secret is out now and I've been chatting to a few other members, the consensus seems to be that a lot of them will be fishing tigers next season. I'll carry on with them on one or 2 rods but I reckon that brazils will give me an edge.
  8. Does anyone have a tried and tested brazil nut rig please? I'm looking to move away from tigers next season and fish Brazil's over a small amount of chopped tigers and hemp as a way to stay ahead of the curve, tigers have done well for a couple of seasons but are becoming known so I expect them to blow soon. I'm fishing tigers on a short, stiff D rig with 2 small pieces of ziglite foam and 2 undrilled tigers. Would something similar be viable for Brazils or should I look for something different? TIA
  9. If I still lived down that way (grew up around your neck of the woods and lived in Carshalton till about 15years ago) I'd be looking at the CEMEX/RMC tickets.
  10. Fished it once, early spring in Hooters. Look for the bar feature not too far out, it's deep, about 17ft IIRC. Took one fish on an overnighter, 27lb common. Can't remember what bait beyond it being a boilie over some particles.
  11. Delves in Thorne but not the best place to be overnight IMHO. Head South a bit more for A1 pits and Cromwell.
  12. Are you sure about this? I only ask as I've just had 7 weeks off work, I planned on fishing 4 days every week but in the end I found I couldn't do it, after a few weeks I realised that the sessions were getting shorter, I'd planned to fish 4 days and went home after 2 and so on. Sessions got cancelled, family became far more important. And who's to say your gonna catch? It can get very boring just sitting there not catching, it becomes a chore. Especially when the weather's crap, it was for a few weeks of my time alone and I found I wanted to go home but couldn't because the rain was lashing down, September isn't too bad but October can start to turn wet and horrible.
  13. Does anyone know anything about this place? I've looked at the website and got the basics but it doesn't mention stocking levels or give anglers opinions of the place.
  14. All my fish for the last couple of seasons have come on the same lead set up. 2ft of leadcore, locjaw or safety clip set up, loose tail rubber to an easily discharged lead. I also cut the swivel off most of my leads to give the fish less movement before it hits the weight of the lead, works for me. Simples...................... It's getting harder to find locjaws nowadays and I'll only use a safety clip that can be fixed to the swivel, not being able to secure the swivel in the clip seems to defeat the object of the lead not discharging IMHO. I bought some of the Nash weedy clips recently, stopped using them after 2 casts, on the first cast the lead fell off as it hit the water, the second cast saw the lead come off mid cast! I'm all for fish safety but a lead that discharges on the cast is a bit OTT!
