yea ive been on a lake the last few years that had a lot of bream in,the best way to avoid them was not to spod or use pellet,just stuck to a boilie only approach still had a few though

tigers are a great bait but the bream will stick pick em up

no worries whats the stock of the big lake,

there is a locked gate to get down the left hand side which has been cut off a few times so they can break in to the builders merchants behind,but i havent been down there for over a year so they may have added some more security to combat this,there is also a field gate about 4ft high which is locked on the side you can drive in,i havent fished tiddenfoot but know plenty that have theres some nice fish to be had but as its open to the public you do get your usual herberts down there and plenty off dog mess. im a member of dunstable ac,they have a nice lake on houghton road carp to 30lb cats to just over 40lb and most species,great bunch down there and fairly cheap membership but there may be a waiting list,or you have jones pit (cemex) or vauxhalls woburn,not fished any of mk's waters but have heard of alot of tackle thefts in the area

hi mate it gets very clicky in the warmer months with the catfish anglers,and its near impossible to get on the night syndicate,i think the fish go to upper 20's,theres alot of travellers in the area but dont know if they get down there

not fished it personally mate but my old man has and said he couldnt believe how small the carp were,i think they were coming out on corn

alot of the cell and maggots go in too all there lakes,id give the zigs a go the upper layers must be warming up nicely,if its runs your after you may be better on brasenose

hi mate dont know anywhere in surrey have you tried the search facility

surely it must cost a fortune to heat a lake

ive never used running rigs for carp,what situation would you normally use them in as you say where possible

yes mate theres about 7 lakes you can night fish all the info is on there web site

all the best

you made some rigs at work are there any jobs going there

Have you noticed that since they've done rig putty all the Korda chaps really rate "putting a massive blob of putty" on their hooklengths to "pull it down into the carps mouth". For me- Putty has always been about finesse and balance in a discrete way. If you want a massive blob- use a shot. yea thats probably why they all need 3.5lb tc rods

i couldnt possibly say you would have more success but its just what i have confidence in,i just cant get my head round pop ups really i prefer to have something on the lake bed with my freebies,pop ups do have there place as hundreds of anglers will tell you but i guess its a case of each to there own,i think carp have trouble ejecting a snowman aswell

may be worth sticking with the fluoro for now if your catching on it,

have you had a look at linear in oxford or bluebell in northampton

what i meant was i rarely use a pop up on its own

length really depends on the type of bottom you're fishing over mate,i normally go on the basis the softer the bottom the longer the link

kryston heavy metal for me tried the dark matter absolute pants

personally i dont use pop ups much at all,and would definately not use them over gravel and probably not over silt as carp dont mind digging in up to there gills so they could miss a bait popped up,if i had to choose one rig for all situations it would be some form of snowman

hello mate,i like to thread a piece of fake corn length ways on the hair then tie on a rig ring and tie a bunch of maggots to the ring,like this but i dont use a ring on the shank i prefer a piece of silicne further round the bend http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=pop+up+corn+and+maggot+rig&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1280&bih=663&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsfd&tbnid=oxlgIn-bN4CKIM:&imgrefurl=http://www.hinders.co.uk/blog/%3Fcat%3D32&docid=mxmA9106VOQTMM&imgurl=http://www.hinders.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Luke-Maggot-Rig-350x237.jpg&w=350&h=237&ei=RqwhT9LrMYyDtQazp_X2Bw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=507&vpy=311&dur=178&hovh=185&hovw=273&tx=137&ty=78&sig=108504266464308702777&page=1&tbnh=143&tbnw=197&start=0&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0

theres always thorpe lea in surry which is a runs water bout an hour or so from purfleet,not every ones cup of tea but your bound to put a few fish on the bank

happy to help lets us know how you get on

its worth a try mate ive had good success using stick mixes,a solid pva bag is also a good approach,if your fishing the harder gravel spots i would keep rigs quite short about 3-4 inches.also the kd rig isnt great if theres to much weed because of the way it sits,hope this helps these are just things ive picked up in my own fishing im far from being an expert and im sure some lads would do it differant,just keep trying things till you find something that works and try to keep it simple
