chillfactor Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 what time wed nige . still my planned date also. great news mick. just need phil to stop around at work now. lol I'm on a big traditional lime rendering job which is my main problem as it's a cure & calcification rather than a set & timing between coats is critical & constant monitoring & keeping damp etc . All under the watchful eye of the cotswold district council area of outstanding natural beauty, everything is having to be passed by them as I go . It's just not the sort of work I can leave & go back to . Is it doing my head in .... oh yes give me a bag of multi any time muscle20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigewoodcock Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm pretty sure that it will be membership not passports from what I read. Will let Andy confirm though as I bound to have misread it/dreamt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillfactor Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Tbf if I get what I need done by the weekend it would of probably put my back out anyway . Much more likely that I just tell the architect that I'm off fishing with some diamond geezers & you can stick the lime plaster where the sun don't shine . muscle20 and dougmoon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillfactor Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hi all, Now that this is only a week away, I'm thinking about bait and tactics, not that I haven't tried to think about it before.... I've never tackled a water this size before and from what I understand it's usually very weedy, especially at this time of year. I've never used a marker float before but from what I understand this is almost a must if you want any hope of catching and I've just read of people spending 6 hours finding clear patches. If this is the case, am I best in setting up my 3rd rod with a running lead and float to do this? Now to baiting. I'm going to have to rely on shop bought stuff. I was thinking Cell boilies or Robin Red pellet as I've had some success on this before. I've got a spod rod that I've never used before but will probably get that setup with a spomb before I leave. I'm not really looking at using a spod mix. Will this hamper me at all? Is there any other advice you want to throw my way? I want to make the most of this opportunity to fish such a historic water. Really looking forward to it. definitely bring the the spomb mate & marker & don't get hung up on finding a really clear spot , be prepared to fish in amongst the weed or on top of it .All the lads are great your meet and will share any advice with you on the bank . Hopefully will meet you myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigewoodcock Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I'm off out for a picnic with the boys today watching jo in her rounders final. Then it's back home to prepare bait, stock up the food and brew kit as I don't normally take one! Strip the leaders off the rods and tie up some barbless rigs. Got busy days Monday and Tuesday where I'll be trying to fit a weeks work into two days. Then early doors Wednesday, I'll be on my way!
