weeingy

not been on in a while due to work, so came on for a nosey, anyone heard of the new scottish record, broken twice this month by the same man catching the same common, from castle loch in scotland, buzzing would be an understatement as the water its from is right on my doorstep for when i move back up the road

heard from a friend of the guy that owns it that its been prctically wiped out due to some sort of problem, i had heard polution but not sure if thats 100% true

lads what size do the fish run to in swarkstone syndicate??

alright folks, sorry ive not replied ive been flat out up and down the country with work, no im not a weigy im from dumfries near the border, as for the clyde it hasone known 30 that i know of that is the scottish record but from what ive heard has been constanty caught, i may be wrong though as im right out of touch with the scottish carp scene, as for the venues everyone has mentioned i will look into them, im currently fishing my friends small private lake and have a few target fish that have yet to kiss the spreader block so this is all preperation for when i do finally bag them and im ready to move onto my next challenge, thanks again for te help and pointers, its much apreciated steven

cheers ive had a quick look at the link but will have a better look later when i get bit more time,

hi folks, recently joined the forum but until now ive only really been reading through and not posting, basically the majority of my fishing has been done in scotland, now 20s up the road are few and far between, the majority of my fishing in scotland has beenon a 2achre college sports fisherie, very heavy weed with no clear spots apsrt from margins and one side of an island, the fish carp wise were reletivly un known weight wise, i fished this venue from fri night to sunday afternoon every weekend reliously for about 2 and a half year, and only managed a handfull of fish, the biggest at 17lb 4 oz, the fish were easy to find but getting them off the naturals and onto a bait was somewhat of a problem, having moved to leicester and life getting in the way i hadnt managed to get out fishing in 5 years, ive walked round the place in scotland while visiting famiy and spoke to an other angler( which was a suprice as i never seen another angler in the 2.5 years i fished it,) he told me he had had 3 twentys from there, all off which ive had a few years previous but all as mid doubles, so that was a bit of a kick in the teeth haha, other waters were Lanark but not being able to drive at the time and it being an hour and a half away was a no go with fintry being even further, now living in Leicester and being able to drive and being bang at the fishing again, I'm in search of somewhere to hep me bag my first 20, I'm currently fishing a friends private lake which does hold 3/4 fish over 20 but I just cant seem to get amongst them, I'm doing wellwith high doubles but still not tripped up one of the target fish I'm after, my question for you guys are what other waters are there in Leicester I can fish, I'm talking decent waters, that wont be filled with every dick of the day etc, hope I will get a few suggestions as I don't know the area to well fish wise yet, sorry for the long winded post just thought id let you know a bit of my fishing background as I know I wouldn't tell someone of any places I knew to fish if I didn't know anything about them look forward to your replies steven
