i have been let down by atomic hooks tenner please yonny

so they told me, a couple of grand ago

haha!! poor sod, he's gonna be broke soon lol

you really wanna be careful doing that stevo, if you have a really good sneeze the phone could shoot out of the grip in your butt and end up in the lake mate

looks even better now you have mastered the fine art of piccy posting muft, congratulations looks like tom found out the hard way that it really does only take one good fish and yr hooked

they are going for £60 on teabay but thats for new. gotta say tho, an alarm that bomb proof (works underwater??) would be living in my tacklebag

I now actually use a Nikon D3200 dslr camera with a tripod stand and bulb remote. i went down the mat shots with the phone and progressed thru whistlecam and finally got to where i am now (just have to remember to charge the damn battery lol) but i do have literally hundreds of really good shots from my phone samsung s5 gives you 16 mp with auto focus and hdr so quality is not an issue unless you intend to frame them

they are all good in their own way, i just suggested that one as i find it easy to just pose and then whistle, then whistle again if you feel you need a better shot or a different angle. horses for courses really

if you have a good camera on your phone i can tell you a way that will cost you less than £15. 1) get one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262467070101 2) download an app called 'whistle cam' from your app store 3) clip the swan neck to a bucket and insert your phone, put phone in selfie mode on camera and check your position in relation. 4) when ready for piccy you put phone in holder and start whistle cam, pose, whistle and wait 3 secs. 5) done if you hadn't already guessed it is called whistle cam cos you activate it by whistling a sharp rising note oh and by the way, welcome to the forum

haha! take out the cube and you almost got a slipknot

thanks bud, i have been hearing some right horror stories, spesh since brexit and the frogs decided they were going to stop policing the port as it is our responsibility

let us know how much hassle it is coming back thru Calais bud, im dreading it myself, from just outside Montpelier back to Calais will be a 12 hour drive but then to get hassle off the mob would put the mockers on my buoyant mood

haha!! i wish bud, riviera with the fam in tow but i am hoping to sneak up near Toulouse for a day or two, its the start of a phenomenal canal and river system that runs all the way up to Aquitaine. yum yum!!

1) bog standard hair rigged mono (cut from whatever my mainline is at the time) but connected to the lead swivel with a lower breaking strain loop to form a weak point. 2) hinged semi stiff rig for pop ups 3) combi rig. first one because sometimes you just cant beat going back to the start as i find it can and does trip up the beasties plus it can be used with all baits and most methods too. hinged semi stiff rig with the hinge formed by peeling back the coating and a little tungsten putty added, i like to play with pop ups (and even fish with them sometimes) and the coated braid will make it harder for mr carpy to deal with. the ESP has a nice fine diameter and i find it easy to tie plus it will accept most knots too. combi rig, why? i dont know really but i have 3 rods so why knot my reel line at the moment is ESP olive in 15lb, pretty fine at 0.35 and is hard to spot when under water, sinks fast too, has good abrasion resistance and damned good knot strength and so it makes a good hooklink too, provided you build in a weak spot that is and so i use a short loop of 8lb to connect to the swivel, the hook will be a #6 or #4 armapoint ssbp or sssp in microbarb, sometimes with a kicker sometimes knot hinged rig will be ESP two tone to a armapoint lsc micro or a gardner Mugga in #6 with the bait as a popup mounted either on a KD or a blowback rig. lastly, i am currently experimenting with combi rigs and the one i am tying atm is with ESP stiff rig bristle with a two tone hooklink. i take a #4 ssbp and a 6" length of two tone, strip the braid completely and form a knotless with hair, put on a kicker. take the stiff rig and put a 1" bend in then thread the braid thru the bend and whip 6 turns away from the hook eye, come back over the whips with two turns and back thru the bend the same way you go in, dribble and draw tight then cut off the tails, add tungsten putty to the whipping and then add a quik clip to the other end and steam straight. make the hooklink part as long or short as you need to. stiff section more or less ensures that your bait is presenting + it has the added benifit of acting like a spring to reset your bait after an aborted pickup.

great preview of what i can expect end of august smuffy lol looks like you have been hauling some nice fish over there, how did you get there, fly or drive?

the three pools mentioned by CM above are all owned by RH fisheries now with limited access and high prices as below. 1) the monument £60 per session (min 36 hrs) 2) acton burnell whole lake booking only for 6 weeks mid april to end may 3) weston park again 6 weeks for full lake booking only all RH fisheries lakes are syndie only (with the exception on monument 1) with weston park at around £800 p/a now (it was £600 in 2007) rich mans fishing

there are actually some well nice little pools but you would have to go to most of them at least two up. i do know of one that is behind a kfc and McD that has some beautiful koi in but it is also a not very desirable area. it was a boat pool for a manor house that was knocked down and the grounds were split either side of the birmingham road, now you have to wade thru the usual McD boxes and chicken bones, then fight the rats and that is just to get bankside, the fish would be worth it tho but then you have the human rats come investigating your tackle so Hmmm!

and dont forget the pics (kneeling down with the very bare minimum of a wet towel underneath and a loving look deep into carpies eyes)

Merrington has been mentioned then there is Near Gatten also by you or take a look at this thread, may be of some help to you http://www.carp.com/topic/2077-carp-waters-near-telford/ best of luck
