dont start neal, yes they may be aliens but we all know it was a cold that killed kennedy he sneezed and blew his brains out

if it catches you fish Hutch then how it goes in your head is working

Gigantica matey, sure to be over 20lb in there init

these days the way to build a rig is to have a look at what Danny, Kev and all the others sell for terminal tackle then buy the lot. then you have to get on the bank and see how many components you can squeeze into the one rig and that is the one you will catch on or!!! you could just keep it simple

i will draw you a verbal picture matey, materials req'd 12 or 15 lb mono mainline 3oz flat pear inline c/w insert tail rubber #8 swivel small bead hooklink of choice esp coated braid 20lb bs #6 Fox wide gape armapoint quiklink 20mm rig tube tungsten putty method slide tail rubber onto main line then thread on your lead with insert in place, place your bead on with the large hole away from the lead and tie on your #8 swivel using a good strong knot (i use the grinner) pull bead down over your swivel till it sits on the collar in the middle (you should have to pull quite hard to get it there) then pull the lead down over the swivel, you should find that it sits quite nicely into the lead, if this is not so you may need a #10 (it needs to slide freely when picked up by the swivel) build your hooklink how you want it and connect to the lead swivel with the quiklink and cover metal bits with rigtube. there you have it my hook link. i will try to post a photo of how it looks tomorrow as i am on the bank (yay!)

naked mainline +free running lead to short ESP coated braid hooklink in 20lb. dont see the need for a leader (unless you wanna look like a poncey git) and their is no need at all in any form of angling for leadcore. Evil stuff

hahaha!! only about 20lb? poor sod! oh btw, welcome to the forum

BUMP just reading this piece of history and wondering if anyone still fishes here? i am off for the day tomorrow (Wednesday) as i have made the time and missed out on a monday fish sesh. bit late to ask for advice, methods and such but anything positive will be welcome

i am listening t my gorgeous little girl singing her ABC's

welcome to the forum Jason

just an indicator, this beauty came out of Grebe at dog lane in 2007 at 29lb 0oz, be nice to know if it is still in there my apologies to my buddy stan for posting his ugly mug on a forum and scaring the locals

heya Bri, welcome to the words largest depository of piscean knowledge my man. you have made it, you are home just two to start you off, of the two i would recommend the bowl to start as it has plenty of variety and the white bishops lake is ideal for a beginner. i do believe that since my last visit the owner has opened a few more pools called the greenhill complex that even when it was just a flooded quarry had some monsters in, i used to go for a walk round as there was no rods allowed at the time and you could just look down the steep banks at the fish and drool http://bishopsbowlfishery.co.uk/ http://www.doglanefishery.co.uk/fishing.html

androoooo i have the prescription ones but they dont cut glare on water at all, they are great for driving as they will cut any glare from the screen but they just act like cheapy sunglasses on water, gutted cos they were not cheap either

just another string to your bow my friend

posts nearly 4 years old mick, simmo is still about tho so might come and answer. try a pm. welcome to the forum anyhoo

got any recommendation for clip ons? i have tried all the normal type but as i wear prescription glasses i go virtually blind when i change over, negating any polarizing effect cos i cant see clearly anyway i have the prescription ones but they are cack for reducing glare.

having lived up near to where you are going, i would say that the fly would be your best bet, i found that once you got the principle of the cast the rest came easy, well all except the back cast as i still years on struggle with checking for walkers as i cast i have snagged loads, people, dogs even the odd cow or horse, that can be a bit of a bother as the horses tend to bolt and can strip line better than any carp mate really tho, fly would be your bet as the locals are more likely to share info if they think you are trying (they hate with a vengeance any other method). quick goog found these, i would go with the split cane, just for authenticity lol http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/9-0-3-pc-split-cane-trout-fly-fishing-rod-The-Trossachs-Rod-Building-Co-/121932736754?hash=item1c63c1e8f2:g:ZYQAAOSwpIdW8CwS http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Daiwa-Fly-rods-2016-free-fly-box-worth-9-99-game-trout-salmon-pike-perch-fish-/281901604056?var=&hash=item41a2a51cd8:m:mBq7YRqTSdl-KPGzj1zoVHg just a quick edit to say MAKE SURE YOU GET FULL PERMISSION from the landowner if fishing the rivers and burns as they are likely to put some buckshot or a salt cartridge into you then ask what you are doing. FACT.

wow!! 67 views and no ' hi mal, welcome to the forum' :mrgreen: in answer to your question tho, er!! dunno, where is it?

i know the ressa on the otherside of the road has been saved as a refuge for the locals by the M6 toll company mate, you might find that they own that bit as well, i did hear when i was working on the development of the toll that the government granted them the purchase rights to any fallow land for a 1/2 mile eitherside of the M6 toll to stop any building developments. sooo, make your own mind up about that one

i always use a running rig on semi slack line. i make it up like thus, on the mainline goes a tail rubber 1st then 3oz flat pear with tube intact, next large ring swivel of a size to slide fully up into the lead tube. to the large ring i then attach my hook link with a kwik link and rubber, other than back lead and bait that is all that is on my line.

Yer got me lol

this is what i have to put up with

im jealous snooze

come on Admin, get the problem sorted please, i have to keep posting to see if its still doing it

anyone else having a problem with double posting?? oh yeh, EVERYONE :evil:
