Nice one jddowden! Me and a mate fished woodland on sat and only action was one person out of 8 fishing it get a take and loose it. Someone pulled a 30 out yesturday though at 2pm! Typical!

nice one mate. i have seen a couple of there vids (coking and revels) but they where from 2009. i shall check longleats though thanks

speaking to my mate and i think if we can still get a couple of pegs we are going to hit the woodland specimen lake at coking. if not, head to the top lake at longleat. will hopefully be updateing with a catch report! cheers guys oh and anyone that has been there recently would be gret to know what pegs have been catching

cheers for the tip!. the forum that just keeps on giving!

oh don't get me wrong, i love fishing regardless. i can (and have) sat there all day without a bite and still enjoy my day. Just really want to go to see how I fair on a specimen lake more than anything as i could beat my p.b on the runs lakes i fish at anyway as they both hold fish up to 20lb

Hi all I have only recently got into carp fishing and wanted to start making my own rigs etc... so i pop into my local lakes tackle shop (which shall remane nameless) to seek some advice and get some bits and bobs. i was explaining to he shop staff how i fished (mainly using pva bags and method feeders) and liked the idea of having a quick change set up in place to try different things and mean i dont have to tie knot after knot. He instantly suggested using a lead core leader with a quick link system on my mainline and an in-line weight in-between 2 ring swivels, one for the quick link, one to the hook length. Not only that but showed me how to loop the lead core round the swivel (as pictured below) To my horror when looking for articles on stripping lead core (the ones i have been using so far where pr-maid meter long lengths) i come across numerous statements and forum posts, mainly on here questioning the safety of it and realising that the last 4 or so times i have been out, i have in fact been using a totally un-safe rig. being new to all this, i just assume that someone in a tackle shop, on a fishery would want everyone who came through those doors to be fishing safely as at the end of the day, its on there lakes but obviously not!?! Really this post is just a huge thank you to all in these forums who take the time to explain things in detail so new comers like myself can benefit and keep the sport we all love alive and well and most importantly, keep the fish alive and happy I tip my hat to you all I am now a total convert to the non-lead core camp and have ceased to use this from now on keep up the good work crew

good luck and let us know how it goes!

heres hoping! i would be more than happy with something around a 15. i seem to get prety good catch rates (on average 5 on a day ticket) just never the big ones! at least whatever you land tomorow will be a p.b!

ha ha, cheers my man. i dont think it will be too hard to beat mine...would be ace to beat it with a 20 though!!! one can dream!

we are in dorset and unfortunatly has to be this saturday due to both of our work comitments, holidays, house moving and keeping the ladies happy!

my mates is 17. iv only been out a couple of times, prety green still so im only on a 10!

hi all Me and a buddy are looking to fish this coming saturday on a day ticket. Want to try and up our personal bests so want to target the bigger boys. Curently looking at either longleat, coking farms or revels. We usually fish todbers wadmill lake but want a change. have tried cokings long lake but we are interested in the lakes with the larger fish in. I know ideally we need a 24 hour session but its not feesable at the mo. which out of the above would you pick for a day to get the most from, or is there somewhere else in that are that you would suggest? Thanks guys

fished it last week with a mate on the 2 pegs next to each other (cant remember numbers) i had the right, he had the left. i was casting to between the bank and the right island in the middle and he opted for the left island. I had 6 all bellow 8 and he had nothing, not 1 take. was a nice day but probably didnt help us being the only people fishing such a long lake
