just knocked up a few multis using jelly wire from pb products, added a tiny bit of shrink tube on the eye to keep the D section nice and open in the right shape. got a 8 inch version for a bottom bait and a five inch rig for a pop up.

anything that comes in a plastic tub and just add hot water, porridge and pot noodles mainly.

I feel the same way about Total Fishing Tackle at the moment mate .
Im not much of a particles man tbh as I find Boilies produce the Carp rather than the Bream … at least where I have to fish .
i'm giving a local company a try this week for some hemp mix they do they also do a snail boilie and a few other snail bits. i will just try some of their particle mix for now thinking of giving the fake baits a whirl some big bream in the lake probably rudd and roach too, zigs seem to be working best, i'm never sure how to fish them, baiting up wise been thinking of trying one again though, may as well got the kit in the tackle bag.
Also going to try the shelf like ecton berry if they have any at billing tackle shop.
it's the fuel costs that hurt me trying to get her to move to the posher parts of northampton but no joy as yet.

Just as a option for younger proper skint anglers, if they are under 18 you could tell the courts you can't be expected to pay any fee as they have been disenfranchised from what the gov says a person needs to live on each week, better hope the maj is as left wing as me though 😀

on the lake in this video, meet this lad the other day nice guy, another one that interested in fred i didn't get to interogate them on their fav spots. 🕵️♀️
i can fish the same spinner rig and pop up, but i'm not happy with the number of fish it catches, the lake seems to be fished similar to pine pool on KWP light bating, in the video and from what i've seen. i want to give something very varied to eat that will keep them comming back for a feed over four days, five kilo of particle bait and some fake bait rigs, hemp and casters that sort of thing, seems silly not to take full advantage of the naturals approach. i'm starting to think boilies are way down on the list of what a carp in a wild or well feed lake would choose to eat?
overhead pics of the big lake, kinda see why i want a deeper.

Apostrophe by Frank Zappa. What do I win?
A small tip for testing your baits in water. Try to use river/lake/rain water instead of tap water, I've seen some big differences when comparing (e.g. they break down slower in tap water).
Zircon encrusted tweezers.
didn't catch on the bio fish but it is a very good bait plenty of texture to it, it would be a lot more difficult to gun out than the milk and honey mix, it's why JB recommends one of his milk mixes for hand rolling.
1 ml of plum per five eggs was a mellow plum flavour to the finished bait really is strong stuff. i didn't realise the spicy indian base mix was bio shellfish with added indian curry style spices, what i want to do is move away from what is similar to the main baits being used and trying something real nice, i doubt they see much in the way of cheese so JB's taste mix could be a good can't resist bait on just the one rod, a 1 kilo base mix would do two, three day sessions for one rod. trying to fish multiple rods on boilies is getting silly money.

Cheers mate, sounds like a good place for testing new baits
a lot of pro carp anglers go there to test things out, just about every famous angler has fished there at some point, think frank warwick is a regular during winter?

not a catch report as i didn't catch, but love the new water it's proper wild.
got there midday monday meet Luke the owner he complimented me on the dog liked the look. had a chat and went for a walk around the lake. settled in a peg that was on the wrong side of the wind, if you are being super fussy. it did give me a good view of the centre of the lake,
I fished boilie only i came to the conclusion i'm going to need to veri things a lot more, one rod will be a particle rod from now on and a zig fished in the same area. the third rod will be a boilie rod, should save a bob on bait if nothing else.
will get the particle prepared from https://www.carpparticles.co.uk/ very local to me so will be able to pick up fresh, good price too and good reviews, save me messing, i can concentrate on some very select boilies for the third rod.
did see some nice carp over my bait on the second day but i've a feeling such a short braid section on a combi was working against me far too much chod for fluro rigs alone, think it will be a supple multi about six inch on a four inch boom to reset and that.

It is actually legal for any business to refuse service if they believe that there is valid reason.
So a shop, restaurant or pub may refuse service to a rude customer.
A fishery is exactly the same, they can refuse to let an angler fish if they believe that he or she does not have a licence.
That in the current climate is stupidity. Our friends who decide to take fish for dinner.
that's more a judgment call at the moment, if the lake owner had to check by law at least once per angler before selling a ticket the customer couldn't moan about a bad call.
surprised more lake aren't doing what bishops bowl do, you need a membership to buy a ticket that way they have all details on record they could also ask for a licence before giving membership. as could all lakes, it's a bit too busy these days to just have a lake anyone can rock up too for a few days and do as they please.
4 hours ago, greekskii said:couldn't agree any less. It's £45 a year for 3 rods, people spend more on food and bait for a weekend. What the money gets spent on has massive value to the environment and to fisheries too. Rod licence monies only go to the Fisheries team, they dont go anywhere else so every penny of income gets spent on improvements, it doesnt pay anyone wages. I do agree however that all river users should have to pay something.
In an ideal world all fisheries and clubs would check your licence before selling you a ticket, but a centralised infrastructure would be so complex and expensive.
for some it is an off putting price, i bet most anglers they catch are the real casual out once a year or so, they do check match style waters regular barston and the surrounding lakes will see them during the summer. it is more of a tradition for anglers to have a licence if it wasn't accepted by most i wouldn't bother, i guarantee i could use the human rights laws to prevent the case being heard in court, not that i would as it's a accepted tradition among anglers.

if the EA would like lake owners to ask for a licence then the EA need to give them something worthwhile back, free stock fish or payment, otherwise it would have to be a legal requirement to stop anglers getting shirty when turned away.
personally i think rod licences are overpriced and outdated, everyone who wishes to use the waters for any reason other than walking should pay something, 10 notes per year per rod would be fair same for canoeists, bike riders, magnet fishing, wild swimming, all sorts. a small EA fee for each would be fair.
if fishery owners was getting something back for checking i would mind.
wouldn't mind lol

Hello,
We are the new owners of Clifton Lakes ( Rugby) and we are looking for a tenant, business fishing professional to able to lease the lakes from me for at least a couple of years. Many years ago, when my father owned it, it was a very successful fishery with many booked matches and completions, the place was booming! I believe their are 11 lakes in total with the River Avon surrounding it.
Please could you contact me if you your interested or know anybody that would be interested.
Thank you
Elaine Turley
hmm, the lakes used to have the reputation of not being carp angler friendly, also you would need to relax the no dogs rule and i would fish there tried to join years ago but wouldn't allow me to take my dog, i don't always take him but more often than not he comes. you would be better off running them yourselves or even better using the largest lake as a membership only 24 hour fishing.

Well that the full bag rolled nice and easy to be fair didn't take long to knock a kilo of fresh bait up, if i had a gun and better rolling table a kilo would be no problem on a week night. deffo the way forward for peg campers. any base mix rolled at home and fished ASAP has to be a better bait that is retail?
-
damn they were performing well this morning, left them in the outhouse shed overnight as it's a nice warm shed, fred was baning on the door to get in this morning, popped them in the fridge for tomorrow.
-
half the mix rolled and cooked, not bad a handful of those around a chod.
-
not sure if there is robin red in the mix i don't think there is? but that really is a red fishmeal paste and end bait, They are similar to mainlines link in scent slightly? looking forward to giving them a whirl next week, i got no hardner for hook baits so i will just put a dozen aside and hard boil them for longer, wrap some paste before casting. The GLM is real stand out same for the red krill, washing up the bowl you should of seen how soluble the raw mix was, the pink/red colour was real strong. followed the guides as recommended for the plum and shrimp. serve 'em fresh out the fridge.
-
Just mixed up a kilo of JB's bio shellfish, with plum and shrimp, tell ya johns base mixes really are lively got a malt chocolate note coming off the raw mix that will change after cooked and dry.
that shrimp he does is good think that's where the maltiness is coming from.

i swear he is trying to mark me with his balls he seems to think i really want his rugby ball toy he will pick them up and put them down where he wants me to go trying to train me, not a chance he has got away with that for long enough. caught him doing it up the field the other day.
