Re: Now then fellas, play nice!!!!

cor blimy, possibly the best catch you will ever have.  Congratulations to you both.

Re: Ferry tickets

actually, thinking about it I dont think I will be able to sleep I will be too excited and will be gagging to catch a cat.

Re: Moilin de ruchec

does it matter ?  is it a match or is it a social week?  Apart from Eric (I think) no one has actually seen the venue and therefore drawing pegs would suggest a hint of competition.  Im happy to just get on the lake and have a chance at catching summit. Of course if anyone wants to open a book my money would be on Eric or Maurice lol

Re: Ferry tickets

then get some sleep no doubt seeing as we will have been awake and travelling a very long time

Re: Winter Catting

Hi guys

Ive been off site for a few months sorting out a new job and moving house etc, ive finaly got my tv, phone and broadband sorted.  Ive had a read of most of the threads to get myself back up to date and im gagging to get out fishing again.  Is it worth fishing for Cats in the winter ?  I never got one during the warmer months so will it be worth it now ?

Im a lot closer to Orchid and St Johns will these venues produce in the colder months ?

Re: Ferry tickets

I think so, I still get kicked out every now and again

Re: Ferry tickets

yippee

Re: help im moving

funilly enough I was also looking at Manor as a second choice lake if St Johns is full.  I will probably start using BFO boilies and might pick up a carp if they can get their mouths round them.

Re: Get well soon Terry

Cor blimey, he looked so fit and well at the do in Wales.  Hope you recover to full pussy fighting finess soon Terry.

Re: help im moving

Ive been looking a lot at the Linear complex, are there only cats in St Johns ?

Re: Moggymagic fish-in?

Dont forget Adrian and me are going to Orchid 14/15/16 Aug.  The more the merrier.

Re: help im moving

I sort of guessed it might have been something to do with dogging but the best dogging venues are no where near Napton.

Which Lake was it then ?  Im guessing it must have been the pleasure lake, Ive fished the Carp lake lots of times and seen no evidence of any cats.

Re: Orchid Lakes in August

I will try and get there as early as I can but I cant promise owt.  Have you any particular areas in mind yet ?  Ive never been there before so it will all be new to me.

Re: Birds for bait

with the advent of plastic corn and other plastic baits for Carp fishing im going to try using my bath duck popped up on the surface.

Re: help im moving

Dog Lane is just outside of Napton it is a cmplex of three lakes. a small pleasure lake a larger rectangular l  Lake for the match guys and another lake full of Carp.  Ive fished it a few times but not for Cats and imnot sure which lake the cats are in either.  I will try and get a number for ya.

Re: Orchid Lakes in August

Im up for a trip to Orchid with ya Adrian.  Johnny has my mobile number or you could PM me

Re: help im moving

Thanks for all the info Guys.  Iliv in Rugby at the moment and am about 15 mins from Naseby and about 35 mins from pitsford.  Pitsford is ok Naseby is rather hit and miss at the best of times.  I will defo check out Linear St Johns.

help im moving

Finaly Ive secured a job after about three months of searching and being fobbed off because im too qualified or not what they are looking for etc etc.
However,  as a consequence I will be moving a little further south to Banbury.  I know Orchid Lakes are a small drive away but does anyone know of better places for Cats ?

Re: Milin de Ruchec

Any further thoughts on the transport side of this trip ?  Are others planning on taking advantage of all the tackle and food offers etc ?

Re: Boilies

the only reason is to put any other fish off.  Im guessing that as they are barrell shaped and big that only Ctas with their big gobs would be able t deal with them.

If anyone has any thoughts on bait shape and size let me know as im always learning and would be happy with help and advice from the moggy collective

Re: Boilies

I made some up recently the recipie was

two eggs
10 ml of Prologic Monster Crab XXL
a big squirt of black food colouring (asda brand)
and enough pro logic Crustacia boilie mix to make a stiff paste

I wacked it all in the blender shells an all and rolled it out into 5 single baits about 30mm round by 70mm long

boiled them for 2 minutes so that the outer bit is hard but the inner bit still soft ish.

I havent caught owt on em yet but im going to make some more but blue instead
