Nice one jamie 12 acres and theres five of us going, you have to draw your peg number and away you go, going to just use bags and a few offerings on two of my rods, and one bait heavy and sit it out, be nice to catch a 30 if i blank at least ive had a crack at it im not forgetting fake corn and maize rigs as well

As im off to france next year, drive and survive, my question and hopefully a good and long discussion is, what crucial bit of equipment should i not be without, cheers fellas. sime

yes jamie thats the one fairbrass goes there sometimes, been told its not simple, but there is some proper un's in there, just hope i get a pull there

Shall i beg

Right carp gurus, im off to france next year to le friterrie, as anybody been or heard anything about the place, ive got a tiny bit of info, but if anybody as any ideas please feel free and advise a french carping virgin thanks in advance. sime

Seems ok to me except the tungsten weight could be more in the middle, also your bivvy needs to be tensioned, looks a tadge slack

Also pal your drawing indicates tungsten tubing , that also for me is a definate no no as it could break, leadcore would be the way forward.

Is nanpantan near loughborough

Think bonny is mate, but he's grooming sam for the job, i aint been down there for a long time mate, that bridge kills me

Lad i used to fish with introduced me to the place, alan grey some nice fish in there but some of the lads who go there just dont respect the fish which makes me very i still go down there now and again with one rod and a chair on a sunny afternoon in the week to see if i can winkle a couple out

Did you used to fish with a lad called simon and a lad called mick and his cousin called paul

Carlsg, do you remember a lad called andy who used to fish the place

Used to fish it every weekend,shops are a stones throw away, chippy co.op beer etc even a chinky, but that nightmare bridge never again, save that for you fitter lads had a few nice carp out of there though

Or youtube. type in fox rigs that should help you pal

Yes lads i did get my rig back and shall be using it as my lucky rig, he's better today after a restless night, i took him back vets last night for another jab to calm him down hope nobodys pet as to go through what my dog as had to endure, thank god for pet insurance

It was a bolt rig, you should have seen him make a bolt for his basket to eat it

Yes mate premier baits quad tweaked a bit by myself, he's ok now, a bit groggy keeps trying to lie down but finding it painful, he keeps nearly falling sleep standing up

he's whimpering around the house,it's me feeling bad plus the mrs aint letting me forget about it, as if i will, those vets aint cheap either, at least he's home and safe.

Gutted behond beleif, whilst tying some rigs in the living room, and using boilies to get my hair just right, i put a 20mm boilie on the rig to adjust the lenght of hair, placed it on the table and got up to put the kettle up to shrink tube it up, gone for no longer than 15 seconds when my oldest son screamed out nooooooooo !!!!! my ten year old border collie decided it would be a nice treat to snaffle down my 20mm quad boilie hook line and sinker, straight down the vets, could'nt capture it with the camera down his throat but could see it on the x-ray, so they had to open up the poor lad, ive never felt so sorry for this silly action, he's now back from the vet and looking sorry for himself never never will i ever bring a baited hook in my house.

dont drink the water mate fish make love in it

Hi pal, went there last year for a 24hr session didnt catch but still a lovely water, the owner doesn't know a lot about the place as the bailiff passed away who ran it, apparently they lost a few of the fish in the floods, but still some in there, there is a tackle shop just of the a46 on the same road as hawton, colin the owner will give you more details on the place, i think he wanted £280 a year, hope this helps. sime
