Just discovered Mo's Co have closed after reading this thread, where do you get your PVA bags from now? I still have a decent stockpile of them but will need more in a few months time.

Safezone leaders aren't very safe. This thread explains why - http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=50371

Whenever i've used pepperami i've never had a bite either. The good thing about it is it stays on the rig for ages, reeling in after 12 hours and it was still on. My advice would be eat the pepperami yourself and use boilies

That's a respectable PB, a lot of people would kill for a 20lber! (Not literally I hope)

1-2mm seems quite short to me, I like a gap of at least 10mm between hook and hookbait. Some people go a lot longer.

If its any more or less than 2" you WON'T catch. Use a ruler just to be safe!

I quick google search shows up 'Rookley Country Park' which contains a 40lber.

That's a stunning looking place Well done that looks like a great week

There are various sites like 'Megaupload' that lets you store files for free for a certain length of time. I'm not sure if it works with excel files but I have used it for videos. I would have thought the best way is to email it to people who PM you.

Some people tie the rig to the mainline and others use quick change clips to attach them. I prefer to use quick change clips as I like to thread a pva bag onto my rig, this way is easier and quicker for me.

There was a recent thread on here saying the bigger fish have been removed. http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=45094&highlight=wildmoor+waters

There's a general rule of line being able to handle 4 times its weight under the water so 15lb line should be able to handle 60lb carp and 18lb line should handle 72lb carp. Both seem up to the job for you so its whatever you decide. A good tip is always to go with the lakeowners recommendations as its their lake. They should have a lot of experience regarding their lake eg knowing which weight lines have caught certain weights of their carp, what line people have used when they've had breakages etc.

i'm sorry but that is an unnfair comment to make. The korda wide gape is the most used carp hook on the market,and i haven't yet (touch wood) dropped a fish on a sharp wide gape. i no you are entitled to your opinion but i thought saying they're rubbish is a bit unfair. Lots of people slate Korda hooks, some people love them and some hate them.

I use 12lb or 15lb Korda IQ with 15lb mainline.

Most people fish semi-fixed leads, so I want to be different, and I think that running leads give increased indication and proper screamers. Ye iv been put off my lead clip set up ever since my mate started catchin more than me wen he started using leadcore on a helicopter rig, our baits were the same but he seemed to always catch a few more than me, i think im gonna have a re think and expiriment with different rig styles.... plus rig tubings really starting to pee me off not being able to slide the line thru it The easiest tubing i've found to thread is Rig Marole Tubing which has the metal insert. The only problem is its the most expensive i've seen at £10 for 6 metres I think it was, its lasted me all year so its not that bad value.

I've heard of people putting putty on the tubing, i've never tried it though. You can fish slack lines to keep everything pinned down to the lakebed as an alternative.

http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=45020 Here's the thread Andy52 is referring to, I'm quite surprised reading that I must have missed that thread the first time around. How reliable is your source Andy?

I assumed it was. I haven't heard of any others.

I've fished there once and blanked, its a nice little venue, well run, and I will definitely go back one day. There are other threads on here about it. http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=39016&highlight=wildmoor+waters

If you're making your own rigs I'd suggest you buy some swivels if you want to use the rig with lead clips. Some people tie rigs with a 'loop knot' instead of a swivel but I prefer swivels. It may be worth researching 'loop knots'. There's lots of pics of different rigs in the rig sticky section. I've posted a few with simple knotless knot rigs and lead clips.

Ive heard that too, also lee jacksons new one. Ive got terry hearns books and they are good. I also like true crime books, read a few about 80s liverpudlian crime families and couldnt stop reading Have you read 'Cocky'? That's not a bad book, lots of scousers and crime in that one

That's my favourite fishing book as well, its quality. 2nd Favourite is probably Terry Hearn's "In Pursuit of the Largest". My favourite non angling book is probably Howard Marks' "Mr Nice". One of the funniest books I've read is "The Raymond Delauney Emails" which is full of wind up emails to various people and companies.

Fishing book or any type of book?

There are waters in Scotland. Their record Carp is just above 30lb I think.
