  1. I have always pushed slightly against the back of the shank while pulling out in the direction it went in. Just to try an limit the amount of flesh the barb has to pull through when coming out.
  2. got powder wars for xmas (not the kind of thing you would expect to get off your mum ) but havent got round to starting it yet. cocky was a good read - a true career criminal at work. he has just been done again for being the brains behind that jersey drug smuggling ring... "costa del crime" was also a good read - the blurb on the front cover says it all.... Mr Nice - "During the mid 19802 Howard Marks had forty-three aliases, eighty-nine phone lines and owned twenty-five companies trading throughout the world. At the height of his career he was smuggling consignments of up to thirty tons of marijuana, and had contact with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia. Following a worldwide operation by the Drugs Enforcement Agency, he was busted and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison at Terre Haute Penitentiary, Indiana. He was released in April 1995 after serving seven years of his sentence." Brilliant book, amazing story for the times. Would definatelly suggest reading this if you like a criminal orientated book.
  3. I had my PB best from there and it was a leather, beautiful fish. Good day ticket water, was on the lakes with the animal park where the paying public can walk around the lake as well. Another lake i have fished which is fantastic is buryhill fisheries in surrey. Not so much for the catch rate, got a lot of small carp in there, only ever pulled out carp on average, about 15 pounds. It's more for the pure beauty of the main lake, and other lakes, just a very well thought out day ticket venue. Also something to commend, it has the biggest filtration system in Europe, I think? Working on the main lake, for the summer months when the water is lacking in oxygen. Plan on doing a bit of winter piking on there in a few weeks.
  4. It was one sentence! So why would I need to use a full stop?
  5. may have made a bit a sense if you didnt write "english" the first time people in glass houses Both parts of the sentence require a reference to English coursework as the original post did not specify! Maybe you need to catch up on your coursework as well. Glass house might apply to yourself more fella.
  6. You need to catch up on your English coursework, I just hope for your sake that this is not for your English coursework?!?!?
  7. assuming your all going to travel that far you could even go along the thames and fish for free. The stretch where the M3 goes over the thames is ment to be quite good!
  8. how about you go and test it out this weekend and let me know? Suppose the guy who is going there can let us know though
  9. your having a laugh if you think your getting from walthamstow to yateley in 50 minutes! More 1 hour 30 minutes! We are talking about the yateley complex in hampshire right?
  10. invest in some waders and goggles and pin it down with a cloaths peg
  11. I always stick me hook in to the bottom of the feeder, same sort of effect as tying it to the feeder with pva. Carefull of your casting as well, smooth casting is always the best. Feeder fishing is always going to tangle you up a bit more than set ups for carp fishing, it's just not pretty. You could also try an inline feeder! Had a blinding session the other week, doing a bit of bream bashin. after 2 slow hours It started speeding up and was literally a fish a chuck.
  12. I would also try using some floating baits as well around your float. If you watch the movement of fish when surface fishing you can see that they come up slowly from around the depth your talking about. Mind you, if they are taking the surface baits then surface fishing is even better than the float. I normally try this around lilly pads where the lilly pads hold the floating baits in place, then fish a float or suface fish just on the edge of the pad.
  13. The above is also good for not spooking the carp, over cast and slowly reel in to get your bait around the area you want!
