  1. ive just switched over to the atomic chodda hook in a size 6,ive only used them the 1 night but they tie up good,i use them with 25lb mouthtrap and i can get that through the eye 3 times.had 2 fish on them and they were nailed big time.they might be worth a look
  2. he fished the island swims mate,he got wiped out a few times by fish trailing line as well.is that a problem on there do you know?
  3. when did you pull off,my mate done sunday night and monday and had 6 takes,banking 4
  4. to me it depends what lake your on.for instance if this is the lake your to fish all season then i would use rigs that i was 100% confident in.but if its a lake say just for the spring and its a bit of a runs water then what i do is try all different rigs.last season on my spring water i tried chods for the first time and its given me the confidence to use it on my syndicate lake now
  5. would that be premier baits quad,if so my dog loves the things.when i go out to my freezer she is right on my heels.we live and learn hope your dogs ok soon
  6. take them with you.just put them in an air tight bag,suck all the air out and do the bag up.this suffocates them,stops them moving/sweating.they can be like this for 2 sometimes 3 days.once at the lake put them in a bucket and watch them come back to life
  7. take maggots fish love em
  8. well there's reading angling association they have a number of venues,as does farnham angling association or take a look at california country park run by wokingham borough council.if you pop into yateley angling then the people in there could probably tell you a bit about the above or they all have web sites
  9. what size fish are you after
  10. nice fish well done,my mates been told by bidders(sandhurst head bailiff) that the 46lb common is aload of tosh,sorry to disappoint
  11. you saw it on the radio your good,really good
  12. i heard a rumour that sandhurst done a 46lb common at the weekend,anyone else hear about it.a mate actually told me he heard it on keith arthur's fishermans blues radio show as well
  13. take a look at avid carp range,im pretty sure they have designed the exact thing your after,a bead for chod fishing with a fluro leader/mainline
  14. personally i would fish for a bite this time of year,if you get action then think about putting a bit of bait in.if you fail to find the fish on your arrival,then i would head for the pipe swim,second pipes or the car park swims they have a good track record at this time of year

    Crimps

    i have used the wychwood crimps and when i used them with some of the coated braids they have slipped so i thought i should let you know,and i pulled the rigs before casting them out,and they seemed perfectly fine.but i have had no trouble with mono
  16. no waiting list as far as i know,dont fish there myself but a mate of mine goes there now and again(he fishes thorney),his approach at this time of year is to bang single hookbaits out into the middle of the pond,this has caught him a few fish,though if he sees a few fish role he would then set up on them
  17. what do you want to know
  18. if you've got the money then go for it.not many lakes around wifh as many forties & thirties as welly. and a fifty at right time of year.i know a few anglers that haved fished there.the boilie only approach is the way to go.plenty of stuff written and filmed there so info on the place is easy to get hold off.get on there and fill your boots
  19. could try cemex thorpe lea,a runs water is an understatement.if you get it right you won't get any sleep
  20. i tend to use 2-4" rigs when fishing over particle,as the fish aren't moving much to get there next mouthfull and on a hard clean bottom ,and longer rigs when fishing over a spread of boilies on silt or weed
  21. as well as the fish stock i think you need to look more at what the lake is like,as in weed,snags,gravel bars etc only then can you decide on what line is best suited.
  22. fish not spawning yet and are probably not going to be for 3 to 4 weeks yet.not fished there myself but a mate used to go there in the spring and he found the best tactic was to launch single hookbaits out into the middle.there are some cracking looking fish in there though,there all really dark fish ranging from doubles to a possible forty,there are plenty of fish in there it is not un common to have several fish in a day/weekend.the fish come out anytime but early morning was the better time.afraid thats all i can tell you
  23. are you refering to thorney wier in west drayton?if so what lake are you going to fish?the day ticket one or the syndicate lake
  24. have walked round the site a couple of years ago when there was on going work.they have been stocking the lakes regularly and putting alot of effort into the site,am going this year myself in september,its run by a respected french fish farmer and an english fella who knows his stuff and wants you to catch fish and respect them at the same time,go on there website for more info,they done a show in holland the other year and got some excellent feed back from some very respected english and european anglers,and also had a few bait companies interested in supplying them with there respected baits, which you don't get on new up and coming lakes in france as there are so many, so there is obviously some good things going on down there.if you decide to go good luck.you also have achoice of waters,one aruns water and the other a bit more difficult but with a stocking of better fish
  25. freedom lakes has one lake with carp and cats,carp to 50lb+ and cats to over 100lb,with the potential to have aching arms by the end of your week should you hit it right
