Completely forgot about this lake nick ended up booking on damsel lake at manor farm last night for today hopefully get a carp or 2 tonight going to grab a float rod and some maggots too. Cheers for the suggestions though Lads I'll check out the ones in Welwyn aswel not heard of them before

My son is dying to do a nights fishing with me tomorrow night but don't want to go too far from home incase he changes his mind looking for somewhere with a good chance of a bite or too

Any recommendations?

I've noticed whenever mines not opened it's usually because a tiny bit of crushed pellet or hemp is keeping the bottom of it from being 100% closed since I noticed that don't think I've had one fail since

Cheers lads I'll get them imported no rush for them just thought it was weird couldn't find any over here and maybe I was missing a trick

Can anyone point me in the direction to buy a pair of these? Been looking up best Polarized sunglasses and these come highly recommended in 580glass silver lenses I'm looking for, can't seem to find a stockist in England with much choice or the glass lenses

Ok mark you win Certainly looks a challenge that place, I wouldn't know where to start on such a big water hats off to you mate bet every fish caught out of there leaves you with a buzz that lasts a while. I used to fish graviers years ago when bream were quite bad it's soul destroying when you've just got your rods out stuck a load of bait on it and got a snot bag hang it's self even at less than half that distance! Can relate to the last bit too I always come home from fishing more shattered than when I went even though I'm just camping half the time I end up awake most of the night looking for leapers and killing rats out my swim the mrs just thinks I pin Chuck the rods out once when I get there and have a 48hour nap

I'd love to get on Carthagena it's got some lovely fish and nice and close used to fish Brooke lake abit when it was first took on by Jerry but no idea how to get on the list for it now website looks quite old but definitely a good shout, Lea valley doesn't interest me other than the big lake at Abbott's but not sure what's going on apparently Lea valley are giving up the lakes? Like the look of st ives ticks all the boxes other than a little far just over an hour drive for me, I only fish a couple nights every other week at most so hoping if I get on somewhere more local I can weave in the odd over nighter between work on the week days too

Hi mark just come across your hook baits and can't make up my mind which to go for I usually fish over cell or krill is there any flavour that compliments either of them well?

Cheers
