Sorry for the delay in posting a reply. been very busy the past few days. Thankyou to all people who have posted since my last reply, I think it's great everyone is being so friendly and helpful =) Can't express enough gratitude. I have taken on board everyone's suggestions, taking the time to sit and tie up some choddys and a few little ideas I think may work that I'd like to try. I like your idea Harry and will certainly try it out, thankyou =) I do like to use Korda products when I can but I don't ignore other companies either. Nash, Fox and Korum products (to name a few) I really like as well and I use them with complete confidence. Going to head back to the venue in question on Monday (28th Feb) for another go, will post my results afterwards. Hope to speak with you all then =) Take care everyone and tight lines =)

Just would like to thank everyone for taking the time to help me with my problem I've had a read through all of your replies and have learned a lot, can't thank you all enough! Will try my best to land you all a decent Carp! Doug, I'm fishing the specimen lake at the Falkenvil fishery down Saltmarsh Lane in Hailsham, and utterly determined to break my personal best which is only 21lb 4oz! Should be bigger considering the amount of time I've been Carp Fishing! Ah well, I'll do it! Thankyou all again

Hi everyone, I'm very new to this place and this is my first ever post on here, so I hope some of you will be kind enough to help me out =) I've just started fishing a local specimen lake again after several failed visits in the past, the lake is currently well ahead and is beating me 8-0! The owner tells me that the bottom of the lake is made up mainly from silt, apparently there are also some not-so-silty areas out in the middle where it is mainly clay. Clay I'm ok with but I'm really looking for some help on what to use to present my bait well in the silty areas. The silt isn't that deep but it's there, says the owner! So, any rig recommendations at all? Also, pop ups or bottom baits? Hope to hear from people very soon =) All the best, Matt.
