Do you have a spare spool for each of your reels?

I would still lean towards a lead clip for fishing in dense weed though. Saying that, if I could find them, I would seriously consider using a runring that Jemsue suggested a while ago which will ditch the lead.

Have a think about your marker set up. Why is one of those steams used?

How do you land the fish on that ? you must have a long landing net handle cause when the lead is at the tip ring the fish can still be 15 -20 ft out !! I always use an inline lead that is set up so it will drop off on the take. Makes playing a fish easy, like free lining

i use a rubber bead on the tubing mate bill I would be a bit careful if using a bead on the tubing. When trying to pull one off have you ever noticed the tubing tends to 'scrunch' up? This is one of the reasons why I won't set a helicopter rig up with tubing

I bet you don't have to concentrate as much as you do whilst reading your posts

£1 per each fish landed - given all the advantages of dropping the lead, theres not much cost is there?

Your thinking of moving yet you rely on your dad to take you fishing? Plenty of water to go at if you follow the lie of the land You could also have a look at Amalgamated Fisheries and Bathampton clubs, They both have some nice lakes to fish.

You may find you have to pre book your place on the lake as only a limited number of anglers are permitted to fish at any one time. I have not fished there myself as yet but am hoping to have a couple of day sessions up there this year.

Your right TCB - This forum is for learning. You seem to use it for forgetting The above quote was taken from: http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=31293&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Am I still harsh Dave?

You have been posting on this forum for quite a while - do you read nothing on here?

The rig would have to get past the superglued beads first This is everything a helicopter rig shouldn't be. Thats why I tought it was a wind up

I really want a ticket! I'm going to be really wanting a ticket for the rest of my life And yes, it is quite local to you

If this is a wind up - please remove it. People are stupid / inexperienced enough to copy that

Hello Chris, I'm glad you found this forum - please stick around long enough to learn a few things and read through the stickies. This thread highlights why fisheries are banning things like leadcore.

Hope you all have a good weekend. Please bring back plenty of stories

Adjust it then?

Is that Linear fisheries?

Nothing massive, where they were feeding and on the baits I use everywhere else I know a few of the lads down there use Atlantic heat boilies though Might be a good starting point?

I've had a few out of Wick and yeah it can be a bit busy on there at the weekends during the warmer months - weekdays are far better. From what I have fished it, the fish have never been to hard to find on Wick. Best bet is to go have a walk round there a couple of weekends.

Wick and Ham can get a bit busy but there is a water on the ticket that you will always get on The ticket will only cost you the price for 48 hours on a half decent day ticket. If you join and only do 2 nights then you have not lost anything I have only been a member for a year but came off there in the summer due to the crowds and the distance I live from the park. I had planned to fish Ham through the winter but had a supprise when I bought my house and needed to do a lot more work than first thought (still not finished yet ) I will fish there this spring and come off again in the summer (thats the plan anyway ) Have a look on there website in the gallery. You will see a few nice fish on there

I think that experienced carpers know it's not all about speed; but you would have to ask one!

What would you like to know about this club

Pardon?

If you never use the thing why not sell it. You seem hell bent on using it just because you own it? If you do need one at any point, once a year in france or whatever, then you could hire one. "looking for a short" cut seems quite apt
