thanks emmcee i was thinking carpark/ pipes or bailiffs you have made my mind up for me. doug

thanks plowman i am going this sun / mon i will definately be at the social

hi chaps my buddy and i are doing 48hrs at sandhurst sun/mon and i need some advice. (as i haven't got 20 of you there to help this time ) with the weather warming up as it has im not sure how much bait i need to be using. (i dont normally get to fish this time of year). i cant decide between my usual large spread of boilies, or to bait and fish on a baited "spot" saying that im not sure how much bait you can get away with this time of year any thoughts welcome how would you fish it ? doug

if you look on this link it will show you loads doug http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=27977

wherever there is activity in the upper layers. if i can see them on or near the surface i will use a floating bait or a zig rig under the surface normally in the top 2 or 3 feet

to fish a buoyant bait in the upper layers, close to the surface, to entice crusing fish.

to present the bait at different depths

they have there own bait todber red! made by ccmoore. i did use it but found cell better

which lake are you fishing? i did a week last month on big hayes. they are very pressured waters. i would recomend scaling down, nailing everything to the bottom, the fish move about alot and will follow the wind if its blowing hard. my best advice would be keep moving onto the fish doug

thanks thats very helpfull. todbur manor looks good ill give them a call. thanks again doug

im looking for somewhere nice to fish not too many idiots. bigger fish would be better, i dont mind if its a hard water we just want to have a nice week away doug

hi guys my young lady and myself are going to bournemouth for a weeks holiday and i would like to get some fishing in if i can can anyone recomend some nice waters in the area thanks doug

i use the rigmarole 8lb hydrolink fluro with a 10mm dumbell pop up on my zigs and it works fine. i test it overdepth to make sure it floats. ita also very easy to Straighten out not sure i would use fluro much heavier though.

thankyou again hope to see you next year doug
