cyborx

two versions of the rig that have worked best for me this year both on coated braid (esp two tone15lb) to a mugga size 8, top rig is for double 14mm boilie on the hair and a string of soluble nash donuts, bottom is a hinged version for fishing a snowman or popped up corn over particles note the aggressive angle of the aligner and the way the hair comes off the bottom of the hook, gets em every time

androoooo,,, PM sent

hey carpbell, lived in brum for 20 years while working near the city. me and a mate used to go to bishops and dog lane regular we also went to Wellford pools a lot too, down by Fairford Swindon. got permission to relocate back to my hometown of Wolverhampton a couple of years ago so i'm now in a local club lots of small nicely stocked waters too, yay me androoooo will pm you soonest k,

you should consider joining my club matey, only 95 a year but for that you get 8 lakes, primarily carp but plenty of other species, two stretches of the severn at bridgenorth and erdington and even a mile of canal for the descerning angler lol and none of them more than an hour from shifnal not one what you might call a runs water but plenty fish stocks and if your learning the trade you can always get a lake to yourself for some peace and quiet

Hi Beech,found this, may be of use to you Tourists usually only find Glyncorrwg by accident. It lies at the head of a cul-de-sac valley well off the beaten track. On the outskirts are two narrow coarse lake a bit over 2 acres apiece. Depth is variable up to 10ft or so and averages 6-8ft with excellent mature banks. Set in a deep narrow valley the surroundings are both attractive and scenic. Fed by small mountain streams the water is generally very clear perfect conditions for the growth of elodea crispa weed of which there is plenty. It's easy enough to clear a suitable swim fortunately. The bigger fish are notoriously skilled in using it to their advantage so use tackle hefty enough to cope. Bronze bream roach and tench inhabit the upper lake while the lower one has a few tench and plenty of common and mirror carp. You won't get mammoth specimens here (the carp weigh-in up to around 18lbs) but for all-year pleasure fishing in an unusual and attractive location it's hard to beat.

first one came in like a kitten but the bigyin fought like a gladiator then broke my net so i had to hand ball her in only prob that was my first time handing one in,, i was soiling my pants big style lol. i have got the pic posting sorted now so thanks to everyone for all the suggestions

dog lane is good but as carpbell said above,( did the owner ever do anything about improving his coarse pool??) if you want to park reasonably close to your peg try bishops bowl nr bishops ichington. only £20 for 24 hrs and its a large complex too theres also kingsbury water park but again prob not much parking by your peg

like it?? love it lol... how do you post pics direct then?? save me paying for imageshack

after allowing myself to be coerced into going piking at my local club venue by my nephew, i hit into my my PB of around 12lb or so ( prev was a jack of about 4-5lb) https://imageshack.com/i/nai19wj around half hour later mommy popped up to thank me for looking after hubby lol https://imageshack.com/i/nf6n3dj yet another PB of exactly 25lb, an angler from the otherside of the pool came puffing round with his scales for a look nephew blanked,,, result lol first time of putting pics up on this site, i hope it works cos they are well worth the look
