  2. Here's a start mate : http://www.fishsoutheast.co.uk/clubs.htm
  3. Thanks mate, looking at maybe camping there for a few days.
  4. Good mate of mine has been fishing the first one for the last 18 months (the one you cannot see from the roads) he's been carping for some 40 years, had his first take in all that time last week and got snagged, he's not happy, it ain't easy that I know for sure. No idea about the other one, but I have seen the odd angler sitting on the bank. I'll see what else I can find out and get back to you with more info.
  5. Try here mate : http://www.netknots.com/html/fishing_knots.html
  6. Search youtube mate, there's hundreds of examples.
  7. I may have the name slightly wrong but apparently they run a few waters around the Heathrow area, does anyone have any info ? Cheers Mark
  8. I was a member until last year, what do you need ?
  9. Mate, this place is the muts .... http://www.eyekettlebylakes.com/ Took the Mrs last year, still have browny points in the bag, its not cheap, but worth every penny. Good luck.
  10. Check out the Zanders diagram on this thread, just the job. http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=34983&highlight=running+zig
  11. You mean this one ? I quite liked the look of it.
  12. Quite so. I agree entirely. In fact - that's my point. I would suggest, as time goes on, My Brown's works will slowly drift out of print and be found only in second hand book stalls; whereas Tolstoy will remain "regarded as among the greatest of European novelists". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Tolstoy But then he is not everyone's cup of tea, I understand that. The reason I posted on this thread was that Mr Dan Brown was getting good press when he very clearly does not deserve it. But if you won't take my word for it, here is Stephen Fry (who does write well): "complete loose stool-water" and "[censored] (backside) gravy of the worst kind." And here is Stephen King (not quite so good as the previous Stephen): Stephen King put Dan Brown's work and "Jokes for the John" on the same level, calling such literature the "intellectual equivalent of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese." Of course everyone is entitled to their own likes and opinions, but you really should believe me when I say that Dan Brown's work is poor; even if you enjoy it. I am only a novice when it comes to carp fishing, but I know considerably more about literature. Well, there's 3 people who dont appreciate Dan Brown. There was a lot of hype about The Da Vinci Code and I suspect quite a few people purchased it and did not enjoy it. However, the millions who then went on to purchase Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress and then Deception Point clearly thought otherwise. I also suspect a large number of those millions would think pretty much the same of Stephen Fry as he does about Dan Brown. How you can say his success is undeserved I just dont know. Dan Brown clearly knows what people want and gives it to them. As I've said before, each to their own. However, I would not start slating someone just because I dont enjoy their work.
  13. Whatever floats your boat mate. Personally I dont get a lot of time to read but when I do I dont want to have to think too much about it. Given the 2 choices of styles above, I'll take the first. Profound beauty ? .... Possibly to some ... to me ... poncy drivel and a headache in the making.
  14. I had this very same problem when I first attempted to tie it. I was trying to make the loop no bigger than 3-4mm. When I realised that the loop only had to be slightly smaller than the bait you are using it was a piece of cake. Getting pretty good at it now too, I'm down to 28mm boilies
