I have done a few searches on the forums for korda hooks and the majority are coming back with negative feedback so I am changing those as suggested, as for the size of the hook comment I am also looking into this as well.

Thanks guys, standard knotless not set up with korda hook flourocarbon hooklength 1"hair

H i All, I am experiencing difficulties with hook holds on bottom baits my situation is I have a chod rig on one rod for pop ups etc which hooks fine everytime however my bottom bait presentation is not good lost two runs friday through poor hook hold. The lake bed I am fishing is a small syndicate lake weed and bit of silt on the bottom, I presented a bottom bait in one area and a pop up in the other two runs on bottom bait lost both one run on pop up banked a 13lb mirror I really need help with a proven reliable and simple bottom bait rig what do you recommend?

I fancy a bash at some river fish and wanted to ask a few questions if anyone could help Good venues or any feedback on local rivers Derbyshire,Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire? Is the approach the same? I have never fished a river before Bait what works best ? boiilies or barrels etc flavours etc ..... Best time of year? Thanks in advance

Anyone fished newbridge lakes in Berstwick, HUll? Cannot find to much info on them as the website is a bit iffy, only two you tube videos and not much else around regarding the venue. Not after tactics etc just wondered on the venue itself I have looked on the NCCF forum and not a great deal.... is this place a bit of a secret? Cheers

just watched a you tube clip where Terry Hearn mentioned this Lake http://www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,,13019_7852350,00.html is this the same one?

Worth a look though?

Yep its a fair old size but the end near the dam wall is the place to be that's where they were last caught

Cathedral steps is the hot spot ! but don't say I told you that ha ha

Not sure but we used to fish the top lake its in the woods and not many people know its there so you have to ask to fish it as I don't think anyone has fished it for a while it did hold the biggest fish in the early 90's though big grass carp I think they took some out for the pond behind the pub!

I am in Chesterfield, Derbyshire Just moved back from Richmond North Yorkshire
