Welcome To The Moggymagic Forum

Well hello everybody my name is Terry.
I live on the Wirral & have been catting for about 5 years now (though it seems like a lifetime ).
I am self employed painter/decorator/& handyman type thing.
I have 2 children & a top bit of totty called Lynne otherwise known as err indoors.
Some of the lakes i fish include Lakemore,Sale,Burton mere(now closed)/Fellview/ & my PB cat is now 48lb from Lakemore which i caught in May this year.
Well thats enough about me for now ....who's next???????

hello everyone, im laurence obviously and im 17. I live in north dorset and this is my first season catfishing properly, as i did i few half hearted attempts last year and failed. but over the winter i did a lot a reasurch and found my terminal tackle all wrong and tatics also way off. Unfortunatly ive only been able to go out fishing 5 times this year so far as my father suddenly past away at the begining of june although he saw me catch my first cat which was brilliant as he knew how much it meant to me, he drove to the water at midnight jus to see the fish and photograph it . since the i have for me a brilliant season, taking 4 fish in 4 trips to todber manor. and one blank at a water called coking.

oh yer my p.b. is 15lb 13oz

Hi laurence, its nice to see a lot of younger anglers taking up the moggy chase. Why dont you send me the pic of that first memorable cat for everybody to see. Evreyone should be proud of their first cat, its a moment to remember. If you want to put your pics out there for everyone to share then go to the gallery page on the main site and follow the instructions. All photograohic donations gratefully recieved.

i would, but its on film as the only digital we hav in teh family belongs to my mum, who wont let it near water as its a stupidly expensive one, which i dont see the point in having..bt oh well. so im gunna buy a cheap one for my fishing, so all cats i catch from now will be sent in :D

Names Dave I live in Bury local water is Sale tried a place in Preston and Lakemore,Home Farm and CCG's our water in Alcester.
Love blanking can't do anything at the mo to buy a cat but still enjoy being on the bank.
My daughter is getting the bug she maybe only 6 but enjoys the camping out bit next year should be getting out a little more often now I am back on shift's

Hi All
This site is a great idea. I live in the south have been fishing for about 50 years plus and took up catting recently, this is my second year best to date 36 lb 8 oz. I am lucky in that I live about half an hour from pondwood fisheries which is the local premier cat water where they feed day and night. Having said that this year has been very slow for me, last year my best night was 10 cats including two over 35 lb. I got hooked when I caught my first cat of 29lb 8 oz on a bunch of worms.

Thanks for the comments about the site, glad you like it but its still a work in progress so if you have any ideas for the moggymagic website, rigs, bait or whatever then feel free to voice them, I dont confess to have all the knowledge there is on the subject so other opinions and ideas are also welcome. I built the site for people like us, to have a basis on every aspect of catting for us all to start from and for anybody in the situation we have all been in when starting out, to get as much help as we can. Feel free to send me any photos you have for the moggymagic gallery pages, the instructions are all on there. Again welcome and thanks for joining.

love the forum chaps and the website good work and excellent results . get out there and catch em. good luck to all of you who venture out for catfish.

Afternoon all,
I am 34 years young and live in Hartlepool.I only have experience of catching 2 cat's (14lb and kitten) from Adams a couple of weeks ago, but I have lots of experience when it comes to blanking. The closest waters to me are Grafton Mere and Elvington (hence the amount of blanks). Really keen on trying Willowbank soon (before the wife gives birth to our 2nd in October) so I will be asking questions about the place.

Regards

Chris

Hello Chris & welcome to the Moggymagic forum,A few of us are off to Willowbank on the 18th if you fancy it bud.
Quite a few of the lads on here fish it quite often so i am sure the advive will come flooding in.

Hi chris, welcome to our little group. I see old whiskers has got under your skin too. Join the club mate. If you are keen on fishing willowbank then try and make next thursday, am taking terry and hopefully dave for the day to give them the heads up on the venue. Evo is going tomorrow for 36hours. Go to the willowbank threads and you will find more info on there.

Alrite lads,

Just joined th group as you can see, Im from the scottish borders but travel down the country quite a bit in search of a cat!! I was down a few weeks ago and got chatting with Karl and his mates whilst fishin at fosse hill fisherie. Had a blank that day but Im gonna try willow bank ths weekend does anyone have any tips as Iv had no luck so far!!

Now then mate wondered where you had got to. welcome to the site, did willowbank on thursday and its fishing a bit hard at the mo, Needs some rain and wind on pond 3 to stir it up a bit, its gone a bit crappy. Whether you chose to fish 3 or 1 i would recommend half roach or skimmer. Liver works well and a livebait rod is a must. Was there with slain, catman and monkey hanger and we hammered 1. Slain had a couple of nice pike and chris had one around ten but no cats. Check 3 out first and if it looks good go for that one but whichever pond you fish, fish bottom baits tight to the margins or islands and the liveys in open water.

when my alarm went I thpught cats but Sas put a curse on it saying he never had probs with the pike
2 in the night of my cat adventure the cunt
ffs I have had a few tonight
got to be up at 8 to get daughter ready for stage coach
