Your PM's will stay in your out box until they are read. They will then move to your sent box.

Cheers mate. I will be a while on Jiggy yet but there's nowt' wrong with planning ahead

Coops, who's running Irthlingborough now, wasn't James from BOB involved somehow ?? It will be a while yet but i wouldn't mind having a dabble on 3 corners sometime in the not too distant future. Sorrry to hi-jack your thread Mick

Beeston, i've done a bit of research and what i thought was a total ban wasn't quite accurate. From what i can gather the National Wildlife Trust are slowly restricting the fishing at Attenborough with over 40% of it now being out of bounds ( still a shed load of water to fish though ). Apparently, David Kent of NAA fears a total ban on the water eventually, so fill your boots while you can. I'll have a word with my brother for you if you want ?? He is involved with the Nottingham tourist board and should have info' regarding the current situation at Attenborough, or phon NAA as i'm sure they will give you all the info' you need

Pretty sure that fishing has now been stopped on Attenborough i'm afraid.

You must be hard to please.

Willesley is a lovely looking lake and has some cracking fish to go at but unfortunately it has become busier and busier over the last few years. Some weekends in the summer it receives a ridiculous amount of pressure with almost all the swims being taken . I did have a walk around Murphys at the back end of last summer and it is a lovely lake. I know the big'un died last spring or maybe the one before but there are some good fish left to go at for the area. Have you considered Wintertons just down the road ??

Small lakes stocked with nicked fish out of the local canal !!! Not worth bothering with IMO.

It takes me roughly ten minutes to get down it. It is pretty bad but if you take your time you shouldn't have any problems , the good thing about it is that all the lakes are very quiet. Just take a ride down and have a look, you forget all about the track once you're there It is a really well run complex with common sense rules, you don't get hassled by any bailiffs down there, you just get on with the fishing and hopefully catch a few while you're at it.

Alright mate, i fish one of the other lakes on the complex. I've not fished Ecton myself but i have walked round it a few times. You can drive the full length of the pit along one bank which is good as it would be a hell of a treck with the barrow. I'm not too sure on the stocking density but if you look on the website i'm sure you will see what the lake holds. There really are some stunners in there. It's pretty weedy but where isn't ?? You just have to work with it. If you are keen on joining i would definitely go for a look before handing over your money, as the track that leads down to the lakes is very bumpy and is one of the reasons i won't be re-newing this year. Good luck, Sam.

You're welcome!!

You've got a PM mate.

It's a lovely looking lake that is stuffed full of pasties unfortunately. Where you from mate ?

I use the leadwire out of leadcore. Just wrap it tightly around your line and then mould a little bit of putty around it. You use less putty and it doesn't move as easily.

Is it Redhouse ? That's the one i see when i'm up that way. It's just past Junction 24 if you're heading north.

Alright mate, welcome to the forum I can't say i know any waters round Coventry but there are plenty of waters near Northampton in the Nene valley that are well within an hour of cov'

That's pretty much the same way i set mine up but with slightly different components.

I thought that's what you meant anyway mate ? It's how i've been fishing the "chod" all year

The absolute safest way IMO is to not use a leader at all. Just thread a bead onto your mainline and set it at the depth you want the rig to slide back, then put your rig on, then another bead, then a 2 inch length of anti tangle tubing to protect the mainline, then a 1 inch length of silicone sleeving, tie a quick link onto the end of your line via an over hand loop, attach a lead and slide everything but the top bead down to the lead. It's best to use a sinking mainline and make sure to mould putty around the base of the swivel on your rig to stop it floating off the deck. I hope that makes sense ??

Thanks for the info'

What's in Borrow now ? PM if prefered

Well done guys It looks like you had quite week! Your arms must be aching after that lot Coops'. lol.

It's alright, i'm not interested in fishing the place. I just wondered how many 100s they would charge to then have to share it with day ticket anglers???

Oh right, i know my mate has a midweek ticket that he paid about 200 for so i thought they would do a full 24 / 7 ticket too

How much is it for the full ticket? ie: nights and days
