chillfactor Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hopefully start a project with a mate that will see fishing local to me again , after everything local to me was wiped out by otters . Probably end up as a little syndi. Got to be dug first though! Good luck all for the season ahead & look forward to seeing the catches start rolling in 😎 commonly, elmoputney, kevtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also going to try and fish some of the other waters on the ticket, not carp but it will be nice too fish for some other species as well. 🎣🙂👍 Well my plans have changed, I'm joining a different club this year one I was in many years ago, but I mainly fished for pike then. This club has some nice waters, not massive carp but up to mid twenties and some good mixed fisheries as well. I just fancied somewhere different, new challenges and all that, it will be nice to fish where different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commonly Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I've got a 72 hour sesh booked (with the missus) late April at Linear. Looked on their website, Oxlease closed due to flooding, some of the lads are absolutely smashing st johns🤯. I wish I could get there now!! I've not been there for the last 2 years, so really looking forward to it🤞 My mates, making noises about a new prototype Bait from A2, to take with us. I've been using their Bait the last few times out and seems to work better than the last few brands I have used. chillfactor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be pretty uniformed tbh though. Makes netting a lot easier in the future. crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted January 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I've just decided I may have some opportunities to do some more stalking this year, it's about time the old 6ft greys stalker rod came out to play again, i need a nice small reel for it I think, but could be nice to walk round for a couple of hours before work seeking some close up and personal action, more of that peeking through bushes action will be splendid I think commonly and finchey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About halfway up Georges there was a kind of 'pinch point' where the carp would show in a gap and loved a dog biscuit. In Reeds I would often have 2 rods into Virginia from the causeway, and be flicking floaters into Reeds ready with a third rod if they started taking. Before anyone says that is irresponsible, you are no more than 10feet from your rods in Virginia even if you are also fishing in Reeds. Pats had a couple of massive commons in there that I would put closer to 30 than 20. Obviously I don't know if Ian had to move stock around, but those commons did love a lobworm freelined onto their noses... elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's irresponsible you were only using 75%of your full rod allowance for the water, you could've had a 4th out 😁😁😁😁 Pats had a couple of massive commons in there that I would put closer to 30 than 20.

Thanks nick I will have a word and a scout about up there and see what I can find, I did hear some fish have been moved around a bit, but will find out more if I have a chat with Ian again, I've still got a few options tbh I am on another couple of waiting lists also will see if anything else turns up in the next month or so there is one other place I would like to this year if it comes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lake is in thick woods on the side of a long valley. In the bottom of the valley is a narrow strip of pasture land. The other side of that is a track and open unfenced woodland. The French hunters spread out in a line along the track while their dogs flush out game from the woods behind onto the open pasture land where they can be shot. I am not talking shotguns for pheasants etc. They are using proper rifles for wild boar and deer. I can't call out and let them know I am directly behind their target because I am not supposed to be there. commonly, salokcinnodrog and crusian 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpepecheur Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 It is not that dangerous. The hunters are required by law to wear orange caps and jackets (to prevent them shooting each other). Also they are required to put up signs on the nearest public roads. I have been put in much more serious danger by cyclists. crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
