Do i have to pay for a guest at horseshoe? As my mrs will be with me and i dont think my dad will pay double for her to just sit their and make a few pva bags for me

Something to discuss with my mrs as weve both booked a week off to do stuff together but at the same time we wanna be at home to spend with out familys on our actually birthday. Still need to work out if its better for me to stay closer to home and then go to the caravan or try pack everything plus clothes for a week and do it all in one big road trip

just gonna look at a few other venues and see whats the best option for me as although my dad is paying for the fishing i still have to pay for the petrol and drive there etc

little bit to far out my way if im honest, going to be doing a 4 hour road trip the day after fishing so hoping to keep it within west midlands or very south wales

Hi lads, its my 21st birthday in august and I've managed to convince my dad to pay for me to do a 36 hour session on pretty much any lake i choose that is a day ticket water, I'm looking to catch my first uk 30 which is why i originally chose the monument or shattersford lakes in the midlands but I'm also wondering if you lot know anywhere that's a day ticket water with a big head of 20's and a fair few 30's to have a good crack at, decent toilets and safe environment preferred as I'm taking the mrs with me. as close to the midlands as possible but also thinking south wales as a few days later we will be holidaying there for my mrs birthday so I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone if i can. that goes with out saying i need to be able to take a guest with me as she just does the cooking and company.

Pool hall is cracking place. Its not an easy runs water anymore but fish come off regularly. I had 4 in a overnight session a few weeks back not to mention 20s are coming out as an average size lately

I remember the episode and i know what peg he fished but didnt really say much about the carp or tench in there that im going to target. To be honest they didnt say much about the lake at all if i remember rightly. If its anything like the crystal clear top pool its going to be 2 foot of weed with very limited clear spots but i have no idea of depths and as ill only have 4 hours to fish tonight i dont want to disturbe the swim using a marker.

Hi all im looking to fish himley halls great pool and was wondering if any of you know anything about the fishing there?

Id popped down there a few weeks ago and the amount of rubbish and shopping trollies in there and the people around the lake do not make me feel comfy with a grands worth of tackle on the bank not to mention my car

Hi guys im due to take my best mate fishing for the first time where he will be fishing himself and my usual venue might be a little to difficult for him and dont want to put him off because he hasnt caught so im looking for a water in the west middlands that we can fish for a night and have a good chance of catching and bring our mrs with us but i need the pegs to be close together or double pegs as dont want to leave him unattended for fish safety etc

I do tend to blob all my tag ends no matter what im tying lile a little peice of mind but that tip with the next size down will be useful cheers. I might try tying an mr fairbrasses version and make my chod like an iq D rig if the bristle filament alows it

Korda sell the krimping tool and you get 20 free crimps 10 large and 10 small buy that and see what size fits your line best, the tighter the fit the stronger the krimp

You guys ever tried using a crimp im just tying my chods with size 6 korda choddy hook? Esp bristle filimant in 20lb. Either ace pop up pegs or micro swivel and bait floss using a large korda krimp on kords chod swivel with a blob of dark matter

wolverhampton mate

Ive been trying and keep getting fooled, google makes it like nice but you go to check it out and its a puddle in a farmers feild haha

Hi all, does anyone know any nice hidden away waters of any size and type around the west middlands area that are free and out the way of pressured lakes that are nicley matured with hard fighting wild carp? Yes i know its the stuff we all dream about but if there is any around and you fancy sharing its location then please do

Cheers lads i will have to go check it out one of the days

any idea what the fish sizes and stock used to be like and does it fish well or one fish out in a blue moon? and is there well maintained pegs or a push a few bushes out the way make your own peg style of fishing?

Has anyone fished netherton reservoir in netherton? (west midlands). ive searched on here and google trying to find out about the place such as prices if any, rules, tactics, fish sizes and quantities etc and i can't seem to find a single bit of information on the place other then the fact it exists and is used for water skiing.

i could get to lichfeild if my dad will drop me off, i only live in bilston so its about half hours drive and how much is it ad any website?

idk where any of these are unless i get details and to be honest i just want carp from doubles to idk high 20's maybe a chance of a 30

our local clubs are 100-150 quid, syndicates, your looking at £300 easy for an average ticket down here plus a waiting list that could be as long as your arm if you dont know the right people. do you really have local syndicates that are in the £100 to £150 bracket maybe a decent club with plenty of waters to offer would be your best course of action and spend the extra on tackle bait and car insurance that might be a good idea it would just be nice to know whats available and whats good as i really want to do what i done at pool hall and tackle a single water hard for a long time and get some of the bigger fish out but pool hall has gone way to over fished and pressured and over stocked ad i hate the new owner so i need somewhere new do you have any local clubs with decent fish in you can concentrate your efforts on, top waters comand top money im afraid, i will ask someone i know in Redditch if he knows of anywhere that may be suitable thanks mate i just wish car insurance wasn't so much for learner drivers would be a big help but yeah just pm me if you know of any waters thanks

i'd probably go to about 100- 150 maybe a bit more if i could afford it or know i can visit it every week or every other week

i'd say you're better off at pool hall but they way its fishing at the moment and the new owner your better of putting a bit more money into it and going some where else... i think its called merrington, i've never fished it but i've been told by a few that its a good place with some nice carp in it so yeah have a look
