Going back to the kingfishers. My mate who fishes the same lake as me never sees them. He also doesn't catch many fish lol.
-
But you can't teach them how to react to it.
-
I personally don't think you can teach somebody Watercraft. It's all about the individuals perception and awareness of what's going on around them. Some people have it and some people don't.
-
I'm pretty sure I see a kingfisher nearly every time I go fishing, whether it's my local lakes in London or further out.
-
I'm actually going fishing this weekend. I can't wait. Gonna be a big of stripey hunting too.
-
Doubt it will even happen mate. If it does then just learn a bit of French and put some onions round your neck.
-
Probably a lot I don't know as I don't fish many weedy waters. Something to watch after the footie tonight.

Lure fishing for perch.
muftyboy replied to muftyboy's topic in UK Predator Fishing UK Tips, Rigs and locations
Cheers guys. I think ill start off with a trace just in case. Don't wanna leave a pike with a lure stuck in its gob. -
Evening all. Who on here lure fishes for perch?. Want to give it a go this winter. What sort of lures have people had luck on and do you use a wire trace in case of pike?. Cheers homies.

I used to own a waverunner , done the job it was supposed do. How much do have to spend? I hired a mk3 microcat when I went to France last year, great bit of kit if you can afford it.

What baits do you guys favour and why?
muftyboy replied to Brutus's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
Never done that well on white to be honest . Washed out pink and purple are my favs. But I'm sure of I had one brilliant session on white that could change . -
Think Nick is a bit young to be my dad, even by Ipswich standards.
-
Don't neglect the evenings or the hours of darkness mate. Had my best floater sessions in the dark.
-
If you think about how successful zigs are now during winter then it makes sense that it's more than possible to still catch off the surface. I know a bloke who was fishing my club lake in January. Hadn't had a beep for 2 days and it was about 3 degrees. He cast out a lump of bread on an overdepth zig about 8pm and had 1 in the net within an hour.
-
My dad was fishing a lake in Ipswich yesterday and said he had a few proper lumps feeding off the top. Didn't manage to hook one though.
-
I have done right through the winter in the past. Don't hammer it . Just trickle a few floaters in likely areas. Shallower areas that are warmer or areas with a lot of overhangs are a good start. I've actually caught off the top before as the frost was starting to settle on the ground. That was a well stocked venue though.
-
What sort of distance could you get with that lot Nick?
-
Must say I've seen a few people contradict thier selves on here but never argue with thier self. Think someone forgot to take their meds 🤣🤣

Mate some of the cyclists i have to deal with have a death wish . The amount of times they come up on the passenger side when you are indicating to go left is unreal. They just don't realise that are in danger and that these mirrors have blindspots. I had to go a cycle awareness course as part of the contract our company has with tfl. It's the cyclists that should be made to sit this course.
-
I drive in central London almost every day. To say you need to stay alert is an understatement. The cyclists are the worst. I reckon I must have saved at 10 cyclists lives in the last year by second guessing what they are gonna do, and they still give you a mouthful. Ungrateful idiots.
-
To be honest I've never paid more than £8 a kilo mate. Next year might be different if I can get onto the water I want to as I'm gonna need to keep the carp coming to one particular area so I might be looking for a longer term bait but I still love the cell lol.
-
Personally I have good results on it wherever I fish but then again I don't do long sessions or do a baiting campaign on one lake. Perhaps if I did I would feel different towards it.
-
Serious question hutch. If it's only effective in the short term why does it still do so well?.
-
I'm sure my little comment wouldn't bother him , Probably to busy catching whoppers on his hooks and counting his millions to worry about me 😄
-
That's just it mate. Loads of people don't like cell , say it's full of rubbish etc etc. I've caught and still catch loads on it and as far as I know it doesn't do the fish any harm at all. It's just their opinion and doesn't really matter to me .
