carefulcarping

Sorry guys, you lost me, I'm too young to have listened to napalm death etc, let alone see them live. Best gig I've being to is Zebrahead. Don't no of you've heard of them, but they are mint! Proper ska punk I guess?

Wait and bleed, best song they ever done!

only the first album. After the first album, there music went downhill, rapidly I thought.

Slipknot?

Google. Or even better, try our search facility?

Why is that disrespectful? job well done if i can put a smile of someones face

Cob, I fished it 2 weeks ago, up in peg 91 end of the road side. Had 18 carp in 24 hours. 4 where doubles, biggest being 16lb. Had a couple of F1 though. I also filmed my session, if you want to watch, just type in carefulcarping into YouTube and its episode 10. Tight lines. Ross.

He said its pointless as in the sense of that mainline is incredibly well hidden, on this thread Nick states he uses it for anti tangle purposes and not to camouflage his mainline.

Who the hell resurrects a 2+ year old post!!! The person who commented before you, he has only made 3 posts in total, just a small error on his part, trying to be helpful.

Good info, but I think he is already in Australia. The post was made 2 and a 1/2 years ago

Haha. I can only imagine how tiring the journey must of being, but how big where the carp you caught?

How big where the carp? Should of left one rod out on mean incase a catfish came along Also, don't you do night fishing to fish and not sleep? You can sleep when you get home

Definitely the best. Stood the test of time, so I see no reason to change. I have never had a Kryston braid or coated braid give way on me, and their putty is also the best www.kryston.com Only just started using putty, and got the kryston stuff, it's ace! Seem like a great company, looks like the kryston braid is a winner on this thread

Only used ESP strip teaze coated braid, done me well this year, but have never used coated braid before so cant compare with any other braid.

The water level is still fairly low, so I've being told. Covering the legs of the boards but still a few feet low

Oh I see, cheers for clearing that up.

I use Strip Teaze coated braid, I think it's ESP but don't hold me to it. Never noticed it cracking at knot, and I use the palarama knot? Or how ever it's spelt and pronounced. Also, does it matter if the coating cracks? Asking as the main braid itself isn't damaged? Ross

Anytime, we are all here to help Ross

Back of the landing net, search on YouTube, they live in dorset and fish lake round there, one of there last ones was at longleat, check it out, he blanked but gives good information on the lake Ross

I think most people like to get out there and sit on the bank and enjoy the peace and quiet, because i love doing that. And as you say, even if you blank, you will still have had an enjoyable day. In my eyes, when i go fishing, if i catch a fish, then its a bonus to the day itself. Its great to be "at one" with nature. Hope you find yourself a nice quiet lake this weekend and catch that PB your after, will have to let us no how you get on Ross

Looks like its a good job you didn't get snapped off using one of them rigs, glad the information on this forum was of use to you, good to see another angler understanding safe rigs. When posting photo's, take a look at this thread, you will be able to post them slightly easier, hope it helps http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=36721 Ross

My PB is only 11lb, and I've tried hard to beat it this year, and so far no good I've come close with a 10lb back in April but then rest have being between 5-8lb. But this year I decided not to fish to beat my PB intentionally but of I did it would be nice, I decided to learn about carp more than anything, so I've fished a little lake about 1-2 acres in size full of carp mainly single figures with some doubles and one 20lber and a couple of small sturgeon which has being alot of fun, but just found my lake for next year, and it's basically if I get a run it's getting a new PB, but it's getting the run that will be a problem. Anyway, if you go this weekend and don't catch a new PB, don't be disheartened, as it's not as easy as it's made out to be. Ross

What do your current PB's stand at? Ross

Well, went and fished it yesterday and blanked Really nice water, started off by the island, but mid day soon came around, so I took another walk down towards the car park, wher loads of carp where on the surface, so I moved over to them, but just couldn't get them interested. Will be going back and doing 24 hours on there in a few weeks, it's a really pretty lake and looks like it will be a challenge to hook one. Must say the ducks are a right pain! Catapult any bait out and one duck sees it, squawks, and every duck on the lake swim over to grab your bait :/ Cheers for the info though Ian. Ross
