I've fished lochwood beck a few times and had some nice fish out of there - mind you I've never seen so many porches, range rovers, mercedes and BMW's in a fishery car park than last time I fished there - i rolled up in a battered old white ford escort !!!!!
Re: Winter Catting
October 20, 2009 by lophius
here's a question - what baits will you be using for winter catting? are we assuming that they are going to be mopping up carp anglers baits during mild spells or are you planning on going predator stylie with sub surface live / dead baits?
where abouts is woodys? essex?

"m looking for a first zed from a river."
No point bothering with the trent now .....
I reckon I may have one more catting session before winding the rods in completely - might be this week - might be next... but that'll be it me thinks.
Wonder if I can get a 20lb pike this year?

That's a nice fish chris - where did you get it from? it looks like a nice spot.
you'd get a few nice baits out of one like that !

This is not the first instance that I have seen with Korda gear - although I have to say that I've not complained - although I always think I will - mind you my local tackle shop is brilliant and generally sorts out any issues.

I'm going to do a bit of winter carp fishing me thinks - and have a few days / nights chasing zander - but I think carp will be the main target.

Re: Winter Deadbaiting for Chub and the occasional river pike
September 29, 2009 by lophius
Can somebody tell me what PMSL stands for?
I just 'googled' it - i'm obviously not 'down with the kids' - apparently it means 'pissing myself laughing' - which could be seriously messy for Karl if carrying Dave along the river bank - a specialist dvd production me thinks.
Re: Trentside Fishery, North Lincs. cat needs moving.

A new moggy magic fish in venue then eh !!!!
With the 'correct' paperwork - I know at least 5 venues that would jump at the chance of the fish....
Re: Willowbank this weekend anyone ???

Re: Better Late Than Never
September 22, 2009 by lophius
It was a cracking couple of days - not a cat out of the place for a month and then a 31lb on friday afternoon, a 28lb on sunday afternoon just as we were setting up, Karls two, and a lad from Middlesborough had a 38lb er at 4am --- mind you you'd have thought he was into a cat from about 2am the amount of noise he was making and the length of time he left the cat to run for - made eric seem like an olympic sprinter to the rods !!!!!!
Have to say that the cats were absolutely pristine too - its been so long since he had too but Karl needs a few lessons in Catfish wrestling for the camera - if you'd seen the state of his trouser, sweater, shoes and even his hat you'd know what I mean !!!!
Re: Barbless Hooks
September 19, 2009 by lophius
If you look through the monthly carp mags there are an increasing number of fisheries that are now insisting on the use of barbed hooks only - I think that its just a matter of time really.
Re: Recent Capture

That's a cracking looking fish Paul - What tactics have you been most successful with this season? I've had to really change baits and rigs around
