snowmanstevo Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I'm a simple soul Tim. A 2lb fish would see me a happy man,and stop the hurt of the one that got away Edited October 15, 2015 by snowmanstevo Quote
nigewoodcock Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Try drop shotting with a worm matey. Deadly! snowmanstevo 1 Quote
snowmanstevo Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 A placcy worm or a real one Nige ? Â Never drop shotted before,but something I've been looking into trying Quote
nigewoodcock Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Would have to be a real one if lures are banned. To be fair, they are better anyway. Just dont last as long on the hook as a rubber!!! Quote
snowmanstevo Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 He allows dropshotting mon-thurs when his pools are on the quite side,but did say if it's quiet on his pools of a wk end he doesn't mind so much,it all depends on numbers on his waters. He's defiantly banned the spinners tho,anglers were foulhooking the carp,it really is a venue packed with fish..... It's why the perch have got so big,so can understand why he's knocked the spinning on the head. Â I might just give it a bash if I get enough to lobs..... Cheers Nige I didn't think of using real worms dropshotting Quote
snowmanstevo Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 Well half day was booked in work and after 2 hours down the allotment I've ended up with around 100 lobs so I've enough bait to cover everything. A few Guinness now to settle the excitement,then an early night dreaming of big stripeys before the 5am alarm call...... I WILL be 1st at the fishery Carpbell_ll and newmarket 2 Quote
cyborx Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 c'mon then stevo, how did it go?? im practically peeing myself with anticipation Quote

cyborx Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 It was only an hr wait for my reply...... You need to tie a knot in it mate palomar, grinner or blood knot? im old, what do you expect Quote
crusian Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Was it only me that had to look up Dropshotting  ? .  I watched a Des Taylor Youtube video , and all he told you was to use a light spinning rod and small reel - nothing on line strength , hook size ,  nor how to attach the worm . Mr T also seemed to be gently shaking the rod from side to side as he slowly retreived , but he bother to explain why .  I'll look for a better video when I have time  . Quote
snowmanstevo Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Posted October 19, 2015 There's a few good ones on there mate. Braided mainline,flouro leader,large wide gape hook tied polamar style then a clip on lead. Cast out then giggle the worm/shad with the rod while slowly reeling in. Not that I've done it before,but I have been doing some research on it crusian 1 Quote
snowmanstevo Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Posted October 29, 2015 Off to scratch that itch again on Saturday. Got some dropshotting bits last wk,so I'll be giving them a good workout alongside my popped up worms and prawn. I should be carp fishing on Saturday,the forcast for my neck of the woods is spot on for a carp or two Quote
dalthegooner Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) ... And it's Halloween so i ain't doing an overnighter Edited October 31, 2015 by dalthegooner chillfactor 1 Quote
dalthegooner Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Come on, Stevo; did you catch a perch, or did the bogeyman catch you? Quote
snowmanstevo Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Posted November 2, 2015 Rubbish...... Had several dropshotting so I was well pleased with that but nothing over 6o/z ..... My worm and prawn got absolutely mullered by carp in the 1-3lb bracket..... It really was spot on conditions for carp...... Â Next Saturday forcast is something similar looking very carpy,so it looks like more of the same Quote
snowmanstevo Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Posted November 6, 2015 Ding,Ding..... Round 3 tomorrow, gunna be chucking it down till dinner,so a wet set up (which I'm NOT looking forward too) then the clouds will disappear and it's going to be a nice,bright day...... Again,not ideal conditions,but,if you don't buy a ticket,you can't win the raffle!! Â Think ive got a bit of O/T looming,so it feels like time may be running out for me until the Christmas period Quote
dalthegooner Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 On the bright aide (If you don't, and a specci today ); Christmas is a great time for perch hunting snowmanstevo 1 Quote
