Went fishing today (Friday) was hot and humid with the occasional light shower. Fishing was bad,not a sniff off the bottom-baits.Had a few small carp with the...

Hi Cassius, welcome.<br><br>I am far from being an expert but from what you say it does seem that your mate is on the " in bait" or flavouring. There is ...
Try scrounging a bit of bait from your mate and see if you start catching.Don`t change anything else while you are trying it though or you will not be sure why...
What are the thoughts on hook sizes. Should we use a small hook so the fish cant't see them or big hooks for better hooking? If the fish can see the hook will...
The general opinion is use a hook that is in proportion to the bait size. I use size 6 or 8 hooks with 18mm boilies. If I am using corn or other such smaller ...
I have not used a size 12 or 14 hook for carp, they seem so small for the size of a carps mouth. With a small hook the gape is not as big as with big hooks,...
Last time I fished Brookside I saw a guy land what I would estimate to be a ten or twelve pound carp on a 10 metre pole and very light tackle.It took him about...
It seems that by the end of the day match/pole fishermen will always get into the odd carp or two but I cant say how many they land. If you have a big carp the...
I have had a lot on at home recently so I haven`t been carp fishing for a couple of months.Went on holiday with family etc a couple of weeks ago,fished for ...
I know the feeling when you don't catch for a few trips. During the winter I went twelve trips without so much as a bleep on my alarm. I do not have the...
I can never make my mind up about winters, all that room on the bank is nice, but you can't beat warm weather and catchable carp. I live in the north west of ...
Hi Johndb<br>I agree that the nice weather, catchable carp (supposed to be) and light clothing is pleasant but come winter I can't seem to find the right time...

Hi all<br><br>Sorry about the mix up carpin John.<br>Johndb<br>you may be right about the ingrediants of vitalin, it does look like cornflakes. It is also...
Hi Paul,<br> If you fish a private day ticket lake you don't need a licence.<br> However if you fish any public water you will need your "Permit de Peche" ...
Hello FJ JOHN, I used to fish gorsty hall a lot, as I used to live near there. I always used to enjoy it in the Spring, as it always opened early, before the...
As far as I know Gorsty Hall is unpolluted.It fishes well for the small carp on the Method. I have fished the specimen lake that is fairly new and had 3 good...
