  3. Spring 24 social ????

    in Member Socials, Charity Fish-ins and Carp Competitions

    OK lads, cash is going to be tighter this Xmas than ever before (thanks to the clowns that run our country), but with a few months notice, I'd like to arrange another social.

    It was great to put names to faces a few months ago.

    I'm sure the others that attended would agree???

    So, who's in? 

    Numbers will dictate the venue, but as before we are fairly spoilt for choice & open to suggestions......?

  4. Is Fishing too Expensive

    Going off topic slightly, is life too expensive???

    My daughter is coming to stay before Xmas. There's a nearby farm that puts on a good event at holiday times. So for 4 adults 4 kids to attend for meet santa etc. £339???

    Blimey, I'll try another lass well known farm up the road £209??? 

    I earn reasonable money and there's no way I'd pay that kind of money to get in. Crazy thing is, I looked at availability and both venues were near enough fully booked??? 

    This country and the cost of living is out of control. I can't see how anything will change. The rich get richer and the poor can be left to rot....

     

    Time for a major change I feel??

  9. belgium waters to fish

    in Where to Fish Abroad

    Posted

    So paid over a bag for my 12 year old son and myself for 3 days at the Belgian grand prix end of July next year.

    Bucket list job 50th.

    I'm well excited as its 2 birds, 1 stone.

    Carp fishing abroad for the first time and visiting a gp weekend that has always produced some great racing.

    I have 2 angling mate's saying they're up for it.

    We're torn between trekking up and down the canals (TBH sounds like too much hard work) for 4 of us to get swims. Or trying to get a decent lake with at least a shower and a few commons to 40+.

    I'm not expecting much as this thread has been dead for over 6 years. But I'd appreciate any thoughts or recommendations from anyone that's been over there.

     

    Thanks in advance

    Is it an underwater one BB? 

    Not sure how I'd use it for fishing.?????

    Maybe watching some see you next Tuesday nicking your gear (If you fish in a dodgy area). 

    A mate's work place kept getting done over, he spent 6k on cameras, next time he gave the footage to old bill and made no difference whatsoever????

    Basically, he paid 6k to watch his gear getting nicked🤮

  25. HOW TO PREVENT MOUTH DAMAGE

    I wouldn't fish a short uncoated braid to a 4oz lead and not drop it.  Lead clip or drop off inline.

    I've always said it, a short hooklink,(unless you drop the lead) will always end up causing damage to the fish. Either the swivel or lead will be catching the fishes mouth and head in a fight.

    The shortest I'd go is 5 inches for that reason.

    Maybe try a stiff fluorocarbon????
