Pete the crip always had a good story, and used to enjoy sambo or sambo swimmers catch reports.

Not 100 percent sure of the name but Oxfordshire carp forum was my first forum. Was plenty of good members on there who helped me out as a newbie to carp fishing.

They haven't mentioned it but I doubt it .

Hi gav I'm sure you have seen but thought i would mention it for others, the lake has been taken over and they have been putting a lot of effort cleaning behind the pegs and tidying up the islands, the pegs on the boards are closed and are going to be redone at some point this year as well. Also a new hut in the car park. Looks promising.

I'm looking for a caravan park with half decent fishing on site or alongside a decent bit of river, ideally within two hours of banbury, but any sites that people have been to with their own caravan is great thanks.

Sorry to hijack the thread but what catapult do people recommend for surface baits? I've got a green guru one that needs new elastic, what elastic would you put on? Cheers

Sounds like a good choice then, well done.

Thanks guys for all the advice, some of the reels look great but at the moment are out of my price range, I'll try and get to some shops to have a feel of the others, and keep an eye on the selling sites.

Sorry for late reply I didn't notice them, I haven't decided yet, popped into angling direct but they didn't have any on the shelf to look at. Ended up buying a new landing net instead as needed a compact one for the scope bag!!
How do they feel on the rods? And have you caught using them yet?
