  2. Favorite book?

    in Book Reviews

    Posted

    Ok, favourite fishing book is Dave Lane, Obsession with Carp. brilliant and hillarious from start to finish.

     

    That's my favourite fishing book as well, its quality. 2nd Favourite is probably Terry Hearn's "In Pursuit of the Largest".

     

    My favourite non angling book is probably Howard Marks' "Mr Nice".

     

    One of the funniest books I've read is "The Raymond Delauney Emails" which is full of wind up emails to various people and companies.

     

    Got to just love Mr Nice, Howard is a star! Can't wait for the film to come out, sure Rhys Ifans will do him proud 8)

  6. Castaway lakes france

    in Fishing in France

    I went there this year in end of june i think. did 5 nights on the bank and had 790lb of fish, there are a lot of smaller fish in this venue and the owner even admitted he has struggled to drain and net the lake. There are some big cats in there i had several 40's and a 50 that will hammer you on boilies or any other bait you got and they are fun but there is one or two you just can't get with carp tackle. They do rent cat rods and if you want a big cat use beefburger(cooked) and one of the owners catfish rod setup.

    It does hold some big carp but i never got one over 30lb but ACTION was start to finish and there boilies do work well if you run out of your own.

    The location is a castaway from a main road as my guest kept moaning about.

    all in all i really enjoyed my trip but i wanted less of a runs water if i'm honest but hey like i said 790lb in 5 nights!! :twisted:

  17. PVA Rigs

    I generally use the korda mesh Boilie or long chuck stick pva stuff, always pulled onto the hooklink with the hook pushed ito the mesh and no where near the knot. However never had a problem of finding pva still on the line etc even when having almost immediate takes. Sounds like cheap PVA to me mate try something new and do some bucket tests on the bank always a good way to be sure :wink:

  22. dog friendly waters

    in UK Venues and Where to Fish

    I have had a problem recently with taking my dog fishing.

    Last year i took her with me 2 or 3 times to my usual lakes with no problems. I then decided to join their syndicate water and now i am a member i have been told that the dog is not welcome on this particular lake. this poses the question whats the difference between a dog on one lake and not the other when they are all within a stone throw away from each other?

    But haey what can you do obviously not mans best friend up there :twisted:
