iv recently got a deeper start and was just going to use a wire trace that goes around the handle and just goes over the side into the water,no messing about.
Anybody else done something like this??

i used to fish them a while back,i found pits 1 and 3 to be best

hi all.im just getting back into carping after years off.
i will only be doing a couple of day sessions or couple of weekends a month and was wondering if people can recommend anywhere local to clifton in nottingham.
used to fish places like A1 pits, sapphire lakes, oakham leisure and notts anglers and pride of derby.
But not sure if they are still good to go to,not after really hard waters as will be trying to get my lad into it and wont convince him if never catch.lol
Anybody fished the specimin lake at rhycroft fisheries or riddings??

cheers

iv been offered a waverunner atom for £200, has 3 batteries,bag and has had a crack on hull which has been professionally fixed.
im tempted as it has sonar but not sure if to just go new and get an actor for 240 although sonar would be nice.
what do you guys think

Great. Thanks for the info guys

ill be after a used one to save money.sure if i keep my eyes peeled ill get a bargain

hi all.after a few years not fishing im now back on it and for some venues i am going to having a bait boat would be a great benefit.
In the past iv had several boats, procat,microcat and lakestar but at the moment even secondhand ones are slightly out of my budget,not got the same funds with a family as i had when was single.lol
Im only looking for a small one and have seen some cheap ones on ebay.
Does anyone have a cheap boat and can recommend any.i know you get what you pay for but i wont be using it loads like i used to in france.
I would be looking to spend less than £200.
any advice will be appreciated.

I used to fish here 20 years ago and thinking of taking my young lad next week. Has anyone fished here lately?not sure which lake is which as doesnt specify anywhere. Thought it might be an easy water for my lads first carp. Any advise is appreciated. Cheers

Apologies if this is in the wrong section,actually not sure if there is a section
But just lately iv been noticing that the price of 2nd hand tackle is getting very close,and often even sometimes above new tackle cost. Now I'm not one for calling people but isnt this abit crazy. I'm guessing it's due to a possible few reasons. Maybe people want something and it's out of stock and they cant wait which drives the price up. Maybe it's people buying all the sale items and then listing them on sites. Or is it that the good old barter in people has died along with the growth of peoples greed.
Anyway,I for one think the used market has gone mad.
Rant over.
Who agrees or has any thoughts. ?
