Welcome aboard mate Less reading and more posting .... The lads on here will put you into some good pools in your area mate

I'm in

Well done mate

I've watched the Korda videos and I don't doubt we get done quiet a bit ..... But just how many times I wound in my maggot rig today after 6 hrs of inactivity found a carp in the margins lowered it in and watched the fish take the rig and hook itself .... So am I missing something because I never got done once it hooked 1st time ????

I use the kd for my snowman set ups and its allways done ok for me and there normally well hooked in the bottom lip Tied some up a few years ago and stuck with them ..... Don't know how much different they are to KK but it's done ok so I still use it

Welcome aboard mate

He can take a joke can Neil ...... And if he can't it's been nice knowing you lads

He's had 6x20,s 4x30,s and the 51..... That's some hauling I bet he wishes he was an ex athlete pulling all the lumps in .....

Correct me if I'm wrong Neil but didnt you say you was hoping to go France with your mate ( I won't name drop ) And would I be right in thinking that in his 1st 24hrs he's had 11 fish so far topped by a 51lb common But hey if you'd of gone we would never of had the mods thread !!!! I bet your not gutted ....... Much

If you only fish short weekend sessions I'd suggest a local canal or even the weaver but with a bit of pre-baiting beforehand ..... Boilies will still work but I'd mix them with vitalin which is a great pre-bait and bulk it out with corn ..... Try and get some bait in through the week and this can only help your session at the week end Best of luck Lee

Hello lee mate what size carp you after catching ????

5 turn grinner and polamar do the job for me ..... Polamar being my fave ..... Easy to tie and strong .....

If you look at this months catch report I had a few out from the middle pool I find the best way is to fish surface baits or just under the surface with small floaters You can scale down your end tackle as its not a snaggy water I had success with a strong 14 hook and 6lb hooklength My mate did ok on bottom baits 12mill pellets doing the trick but this will also catch you bream ..... Keep the floaters going in a rod length or so out and it won't take long for the carp to start feeding

Same as Ross

Hello Laura .....i,m sure now youve brought the thread back up one of the members will be able to help you out ........ Ian(Welder) and Mick(Leggs) will probably be your best bet for advice Nice to see you posting again

I take it your wanting to fish commercials what with only having your match gear .... Brookside as cob said is only 20mins away as is partridge lakes culcheth (both warrington) and wigan also have some decent fisheries that are only half hr away fir tree farm,wrightinton fisheries ..... if you fancy a 50 min drive you can allways try cudmore in staffs ?????

It would help if members knew your location or willingness to travel

Cromwell mate ..... we did a social on there last march and sum lumps came out and a certain member on here is a bit of an expert on there ....... with a 40lb+ to his name last month

What area are you mate

Have a little look at Millbrook Fisheries day ticket but nice little place with some 30+ fish in it Its in Stoke but only 45mins away from me (near Liverpool)

My mrs is on the 3rd book its ace .......... She aint mythered me for the last week n half

Been using the nash for the last 18 months and theve been sound

Ive fished it a few times Jules (I had my stag do there with a bunch of mates ) Its been about 7 years since ive been there and for some reason i dont know why Its an absolutly beautifull place up a mountain and is one of the nicest place ive fished (im not sure if its the highest fishery in the country i cud be wrong tho !) Cant remember if they had showers but i know he has accomadation and wooden bivvie huts so im taking it he has It can get busy in the summer but if you can get on the pegs near the peat islands (they stick out in the summer) there about a 60 yard chuck and your allways guaranteed a run or 2 from there mate
