As your in the area, have you considered Horseshoe for your session?

If henmans hill is free on St John's, would definitely be worth a look . You only have to stand in the corner you cast across to for 10 mins and your see the fish going in and out . I might get to linear again this year enjoyed the 4 nights I did on there last year . I did hear they did a lot of weed clearance on manor the back end of last year and didn't fish well afterwards but should of settled back down now .

Gomez Get Miles Later With Jools Holland:

I feel a road trip coming on

You been eating to many of those new boilies mate lol

Never got the hole harry potter thing Dal

Heard this track a few times didn't pick it was just drums and bass..... very Should really blow the dust off my drum kit and give it some stick !

He he, glad it brought a smile to ya face

I think your right Tim , someone jumped in after you I just went through the catch reports on your venue is this the guy ? Oh and keep ya chin up fella , I see it's all a bit stinky winky at the mo

why not Tim if the fish are shouled up in one area it doesn't matter how big the lake is , Especially on a given day .

Bound to be Ian... but I'm sure everyone is on about the one in Burcot and full of 30's , it did over ten thirties in a day this winter... which is mad !

Dave_3 do you get up Horseshoe often ? Might catch you up there at some point fella

Isn't pine pool on the Kingsbury water park out that way somewhere. ... Some lovely dark fish to try for in there and quite challenging from what I hear.

Beware of the blythe witch, she's been mentioned on more than one occasion on here !

One of main reasons for splicing any material is it's strength but also to allow any beads etc to pass over it with ease . I personally like the esp needles come in packs of 3 but you will break the odd one When using them . The Avid pin down and solar unleaded arn't to difficult to work with from my experience.

Never to far away from a story about Nige fishing and dumping lol

They look great bits of kit the Gopro cameras. Are you sure the biggest is only 4lb mark ? A couple of them look bigger than that .

If you take away the need to book somewhere it would open up a lot more waters to choose from for you mate. Horseshoe is well worth a look stunning fish , challenging/ 65 acres ,so plenty of room and plenty of scope to move around the lake in the week . shower/ toilets shop just down the road . no idiots and secure. Also from what I can see it certainly pays to do long sessions on there , a guy I know on there does very well the second part of the week session and has some big hits because of it . food for thought anyway mate .

Playing devils advocate a bit here ..... and just putting it out there . Could it not be the case that people who believe slack is better than tight for indication ,is solely down to the fact it doesn't show you when you get done by Mr carp as well as a tight line does . I got done yesterday on my low stock lake fishing tight with a big lead , all so fish semi slack a lot of the time and I questioned whether I would of got any indication if I had of been yesterday. It's a definite catch 22 both have there good points and bad . Who knows if I would of been fishing semi slack yesterday the fish might not of been so cautious and it might of screamed off . anyway all if's and buts .... do feel it cost me a big fish yesterday though .

Think there was a double post by jimmboy so one was taken down , just happened to the one you replied on Ddgx. Your original post will probably be moved onto this one .

That's twice in less than a week on this forum I've read that it would be better if the Berlin Wall was still up Tim first now you cm ........ Ridiculous statement ! Try telling that to the millions upon millions of people it's benefited. No wonder it's so quiet on here these days with stupid statements like this being branded about . merry Xmas and good will to all men !

Good morning, I don't think a pop up will stand out to much and will give you the piece of mind the hook points not masked in any way , could also use pva be it bags or sticks to ensure your rigs are fishing. regarding the rig you mention sound like a combi rig but the other way around with the more supple material first rather than second, personally I think it would tangle badly if I've read what you mean correctly.

Just had a look mate .... not sure looks like another case of inventing a rig for the sake of inventing rig .

Let me get this straight does the pole elastic run through the entire length of the leader?

Albright knot then ,like milky said .
