Blaaady good thread this!

Don't get excited nige! Only me! Looks like we may have to update ourselves, just give it a few months

Going to be trying out using fluorocarbon leaders. Getting the Korda IQ 20lb I think. Looking forward to giving it a go....not looking forward to wasting a whole 7 odd quids worth trying it over and over

It wearnt when we went I put it down to the fact that it went from no pressure, to around 40 anglers in one day! The night before the 40 anglers set up, Nige had 11 fish..

And what a social it was Here's how my hauling went...

Have a look on google earth! You may find something close to you that is nice and hidden away.

I'm not too sure about this method, as occasionaly the baits will come off the hair and the carp will eat them...leaving them to digest bits of lead wire? Surely not very safe for the carp?

Just a quick one to see if anyone belongs to the SDAA. Started work in Arlesey and popped into the local tackle shop today to ask about waters in the area. I'm very much liking the pictures of Willington lake, and can't wait to get over there to have a look myself. Also going to have a look at the blue and green lagoons actualy in Arlesey. Next to no info on the internet so any opinions on any of the waters under the SDAA ticket, or just in the general area would be greatly appreciated Cheers

Some people don't publicize what they find a successful tactick as it could loose its effectiveness...or maybe he is still fiddling with it to make it as efficient as possible. Either way, I'm sure he wouldn't want to share it with you now, and I hope you don't talk to everyone in the way that post came across

I'm not a mod but I'm sure they won't mind me pointing you in the direction of the 'catch reports'. Or if its just general photography, go for the scenic pics and wild life

As long as it is made properly I can't see why it wouldn't work. By 'made properly' I mean made so that the cluster of boilies are tight enough not to flex and maybe mask the hook. It should stop a few of the 'small' fish from getting their mouths round it, although to be honest I'd love to be getting the results you are I hope this works for you in the future! I'm sure some of the experienced guys will be able to offer some advice over the next few days. Weekends can be very quiet. Take care dude I really fancy some grapes now

Cheers kev! Read them straight away. Good stuff!

I bet you'd be fine mate, from what I've read its got some productive margin spots and the deep open water has high bars on it that you'd probably find spots on or around. Its no oil painting though the ground looks pretty rough and it has big changes in water levels and its got thorny bushes all round - it wins no prizes on looks. Very much like my current water but a different shape. I can see me joining within the next few years I'll find the magazine and PM you the details, if you cant get it I'll try scanning it for ya! Any chance you could let me know the details too? Any idea how long the waiting list for pit 1 is now?

Just opened my cupboard to see 4 tins of beans and wondered if there would be anything on the forum about baked beans! After reading this, I think I am definately going to have to give them a go. I'm thinking mix some sweetcorn and boilies in and maybe use sweetcorn on the hair...but how much is too much? And would it be best to throw all the sauce in too!

Tutti fruttis...most of my fish have been off tuttis since i started a few months ago. Also heard that they like fruit flavours in beckerings

Yeah had my first session there today mate. Only a few hours, but had a nice 15.4 common

Cheers chrisa ive looked at that a couple of times before now. I called the guy who runs luton angling club and asked if he could do me a deal. The standard membership cost for the year is £40 but he said he will do it for 20 for the last few months. Think ill do that and see how i like it down there at beckerings. Ill let you all know how i get on

Im thinking of joining luton angling club...has a lake in steppingly about 5 minutes from my house in flitwick. Beckerings resevoir...Looks good from the photos and its nice and close. Does anyone have any info about it?
