Gaz

to me it is never safe and should never be allowed. to, TO risky

another that dont like it tbh

good luck

number 1) i hate the word chod just refuse to use it lol. 2)funny enough that is exactly the rig my mate just had a sort after fish from my syndy on, withy pool/chod set up

thats nothing unusual with the temp so up and down tbh

i think the problem is not helped by keep changing bait? the baits you have tried are tried and tested baits proven to catch carp. dont give up, get a bait stick to it and keep it going in. you will catch. one of the biggest things in carp fishing is being on the fish, if you aint on or near them unless your long haul you aint gonna catch them. how big is the water? what is the stocking like?

just the one mate, fish known as the giant, 92lb found dead on the 28th. not been out for 18 months apparently

yeh i agree, i aint to sure tbh but will try to find out

yeh mate, been told its on the website but not looked myself, although i heard it was jsut the big girl

Probably not the madest thing you could have predicted Kev. -Computers -The Internet -Women in the workplace for teh love of god no

tbh mate it depends if your the type that chases and wants big fish, i like carp of all sizes and am happy with small and love to catch bigger, but i am not a chaser of big fish. if is was then yes i would loved to catch it, will i pay and go over to have a go? probably not lol

thats a big fish and massive growth rate

lol gary

as the fish takes the bait and hook in, because the hook is already pointing down in quite an aggressive way it will (hopefully) already take hold onto the bottom lip (as long as you have a sharp hook) as i say though i dont use it because quite honestly i agree with you

beanz, i dont buy in to all the "new" rigs and "fancy" rigs so tbh i dont know if it is more affective or not because i dont use it. tbh though the aggressive angle of the hook looks like it would take hold of the bottom lip a lot easier than a normal kk when used for a pop up (which ultimately it was "designed" for)

its because the angle the hook comes off of makes it drop into the bottom lip a lot easier. not that i have used it

oh the joys of being able to "sneak over to france" laugh out loud. i cant keep that up for long LOL.

to be honest (there ya go studley) you must be gutted mate, i know i would be. then again aint you going to thailand soon? for a spot of fishing

well he has posted but not on here, quick everybody RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

lol, i wonder how long it will take before he even sees this

lol, quality. how long before neil sees this and maybe uses his mod powers, ever mods and deletes it only jokking neil

i see that as well lol, a 51 is a pretty good fish, now now neil, you CANNOT name drop who dean is

well done mate, lovely place as well

not sure about cat hooks tbh, bit barbaric for carp but i do think that bigger hooks AND/OR heavier weights could be the way forward. as beanz said, if they are picking it up then they dont know its a trap, so by saying that we have tricked them up BUT just not hooking them. last week i dont a 24 and had a big time drop back, wound down into nothing. i KNOW i was done more than once on that session, dont know how i know but i just know (its that gut instinct that says i failed) gonna step up hook size first and see how it goes, then if nothing or the same then a bigger mould for bigger leads

no its not the reason for your tangles but imho i would NEVER use it with lead clips. thats a different thread though
