I've fished the place a couple of times. 48 hours on Petites where I managed a 24lb common. This is one of the lower stocked, big fish waters.
I also did 48 hours on Hodgetts which is their out and out runs water for 4 fish, all doubles.
It is a very well run day ticket, swims are really well spaced and comfortable to fish. Loads of water to go at. Bailiffs are helpful and friendly.
Whichever lake you end up on, I would listen to the bailiffs. They will put you on the known hotspots. And also look at the map of the lake beds as there is some very deep water in front of some of the swims. Lastly, buy the house pellet. It is sold at cost so very cheap, and the fish love it.
I honestly believe that Norton Disney will be the premium day ticket in the country in a few years as it matures and the fish grow as long as they don't do a Linear and cram everyone in.

I find the majority of free stuff unwatchable. Granted there are some good videos out there, but I prefer to spend a little bit of cash a month for quality content. At the end of the day, it costs less than a bag of boilies.

Thanks mate.
Unfortunately I have no cast button at all on my app which is strange. There are no buttons at all top right, the only ones I have are at the bottom of the app, Home etc.

I looking at starting a subscription to CarpFix but before I do I would like to ask any other subscribers if I can cast the videos from my mobile (Android) via the app to my smart TV (webOS)?

If it is possible, how easy is it to do for a non techy person?

Thanks.

I'm beginning to think that this could be the problem. I have had my rod tip sunk so the line is not floating straight from my rod tip and if i knock my rods a line of bubbles will float to the surface. I guess that some form of algae is attaching to my line and giving off oxygen??

First time out using braid and I'm having a huge problem with the korda sub popping up to the surface.
I'm fishing a silty old mere, only 10 wraps out to the far margin. If I give the line a shake the braid sinks and then pops back up 15 minutes later. I have sunk my rod tips and fishing tight lines (which I don't want to do) but it is not helping.

I've joined Wraysbury 1 for the coming season. It's a good 3+ hour journey for me but I actually enjoy it. My first session will be in May but I'm already excited.
This week I have ordered all my gear that I will using to beef up my current set up, including braided mainline for the first time.
I know without doubt that I will be setting off at about midnight for my first session as there is no way I will be able to sleep.
I never get that level of anticipation for my other hobby, golf.

3.5 S-Lites ordered and arriving Monday. Looking forward to giving them a spin.

My very old Greys Prodigys have served me well but I'm hoping the S-Lites will be a step up and help me with my dodgy casting.

Thanks guys.
I think I have narrowed it down to the S-Lite 3.5 or the s'liv.
Not 100% sure what the difference is between the 2 so I'm going to ring Tackle Box and see what they say.

Thanks guys, I will check out all recommendations.
The other rods that somebody has recommended are the Diawa Longbows. Any thoughts on these?
