Cheers for the reply really helpfull, so the public car park for the access gates are pretty safe to leave the car ?
Sounds like although it a big lake there is decent access to all parts of it.

Im intrested in joining Wraysbury South lake as only about 30 mins away. I tend to fish one overnighter a week and need to be away by 8am.
Looking at the map it looks like there is only one car park ? Does anyone know if there car access to the other side of the lake or is it a big barrow push to most swims ? thanks

Completely lost their way although the whole urban banx films were good and had a loads of views how much did that really translate to sales..

I don't think there is a big market for the small rods, light gear urban fishing style that they were pushing. Give me a quiet lake in the middle of knowhere anyday.

Bivvys and alarms are decent but apart from that what would buy from nash ?

Hi,

Anyone fished/fishing the Wasing Shalford syndicate which consists of Staghead, Shalford and Bottle lakes. Can you give me some basic information such as how many members, how busy does it get and rough stock per lake ?
Its not far from me and I have put my name down but struggling to find much info.

Thanks,

I was using silicon but recently using kickers.
Did see Matthew Collins use a small bit of tubing between the bait screw and the eye that would do the job but wouldn't work with a silicon/kicker.

More I think the more I think its over complicated. I may stick to mono D rigs and ronnies for pop ups.

I'm a big fan off the slip d/Multi-rig. I like using a stiff boom and a supple braid end and have the ability to easily swap the hook and have bait separation with the D.

But last night I got done as I had a single bleep around 1am and when I got the rod in the bait was jammed as the d had skipped on that rod which meant I wasn't really fishing the rest of the night.

I was in France a few weeks back and it happened a couple times. I guess I should look at rig lengths but now thinking there must a better alternative.

Any suggestions of a rig which has the benefits of the slip-d but without the slippage ?

To be fair he has successfully used his high profile to create a lucrative business.
Looks very high profit margins for all the prizes so its good money for very little operating costs.

Such as simple business model that anyone could do.

I can see the big fishing shops like TFT and Angling Direct starting a competition sites as well as they already set ready to go.

I don't understand his argument for holding back all this unseen footage to protect the sport ??

In one clip he actually proves it does acts as a weed rake !!

Why is now being replaced if it was so safe ?
I can see everyone banning the new version as there is nothing to gain for the fishery to allow it.

Hi,

Is there any alternatives to the Korda Helisafe. Not used them myself but what I see they seem to drop the lead too easily.

I am fishing a weedy lake where if I hook a fish I would like to drop the lead to help land it but not every time I get some weed on the retrieve or when a fish doesn't get snagged.

Im currently using the thinking tackle c clips but find them a pain to use when trying to cover the clip with the sleeve.

Just wondering if there is anything else out there to drop leads on heli systems ?

My mates dad is there at the moment must have had over 40 fish between them and only halfway through the week. Nothing big maybe the odd 30 but loads of action so perfect for a lad and dad week.
