  1. Not an out and out runs water but I've always had some sort of contact with a few carp and sometimes managed to land a few... :lol: it never seems to be that busy during the week either so plenty to choose from, that's if you're going on a week day, not sure about the weekend :D

  2. hey, does anyone have any recommend hooks and hooklinks for zig fishing.

     

    cheers

    I use fox zig/floater hooklink, works for me, hooks are some fox ones in size 10 which are a very small 10, armapoint I think :D

  3. i also use the korda hooks and they seem fine for me. also ive been trying the inline fox bubble float ( adjustable zigs ) but some times the float and my bait dont seem to rise up to the surface? :? i am using it with an inline lead. any body else useing these?

     

    I use one of these but not with an in-line lead I have the slik ring and link for attaching the lead it comes up every time no problem :D

  4. Ok can anyone tell me why I couldn't try float fishing a bait rather than zig rig to try the different depths?? Only difference I can see is the hair rigged bait would be upside down and if carp tend to go down onto food they would see a big hook just above the bait...apologies if this is a crazy idea in advance or maybe it's a brilliant idea and I could sell it to korda for £1000s :D

  5. Hiya all.. I have just been looking at the blakemere website and it looks very, very good there. Now has anyone here been there and if so, is it that good or have they just use alot of spin on the website to make it look better than what it is????

     

    I went to Blakemere in late Jan it's a really beautiful place and seems well stocked with good quality fish, the guy who owns it made a point of coming to see me on the bank and asked me loads about how my day had been, he's also continually working on the place to make it better, I'm sure if you go you'll enjoy it I did! The swims are really well made up with plenty of room for bivvy etc and aren't muddy or waterlogged...what more can I say! :D
