Hi Simon are you going to bite the bullet and go for the Newark & District Pisc Fed ticket for next season. If you do let me know and we will get some dates organised for fishing days.

Top Angling that Richard. 👍👍👍Did you know it was going to be a PB or close too it, when the fight was on ?

Evening Simon, Well when you have done all you can in the proper manner and it's falling on deaf ears then it's time to walk away as you have decided. It sounds like a clique of Committee Members that just don't want anything to change and will make sure it doesn't.

Not familiar with the Basia, is there that much of a difference between my Cadence 12Ft 2 Lb and the Basia 2.25 Lb to warrant buying them would you say ?

1.75 Lb might be the most popular across all the range of rivers, but if you were to break it down to big and small rivers there would be a split of 2 LB for bigger rivers & 1.75 Lb for smaller ones. Having said that it's down to personal preference. on the Middle Trent I prefer 2 Lb and my...

Think that was me earlier in this thread, did you get it at the discount price of £45 ?

Took a drive out to Future Fishing at Farndon to get my Christmas pressie from my Mum & Stepdad. Drennan Specialist 50" umbrella which will be ideal when fishing from stone steps as it can be supported by two banksticks where it's not feasible to get a central pole in the ground. I was going to...

Good luck mate, Curse of the back rower shot knees. Hope you have a speedy recovery and get back on the bank asap.

Is 37.5 Lb BS (0.22) necessary ? New to Braid so would appreciate learning why a heavy BS is required. I fish mainly the middle / tidal trent around Newark so looking for a braid suitable for floodwater fishing to lessen the weight required to hold bottom and hopefully reduce the tendency to...

Morning Simon, I hope you are well. Appreciate that the BMAA waters are a lot closer, but if the fish just are not there, then a journey to say Newark & District Piscatorial Fed stretches will be worth the extra effort. There is a bonus of course, it means we can fish together and you know I...

I mainly fish around the Middle & Tidal Trent around Newark so have to contend with gravel, rocks & boulders on the bottom. I have hooklengths varying from 1 1/2 Ft, 3 Ft & 6FT for varying conditions from floodwater completely opaque to clear. Hooklength comprises Guru Flurocarbon 12 Lb to 2" of...

First thing I do when floodwater fishing is to put a bankstick in at the waters edge, this gives me a marker to tell if the river is rising and at what rate. Always have an escape route should a rapid rise occur. If your fishing on steep / muddy banks a luggage strap or length of climbing rope...

Not bankside, but.... Have had one or two strange occurrences over the years. One incident I can't discount as fluke is in my youth my mate & I used to help a guy doing house clearances. Once we were in a large Victorian house and were tasked with bringing some furniture up from the cellar, as...

I must be more use to it fishing club stretches on the Middle Trent where pegs either side can have an angler on them. I do like to arrive early on a certain stretch to bag the favoured peg (not before civil dawn in accordance with club rules) Most occasions fellow club members will ask if I...

I like the setup @Chris Allcock if I didn't already own a Prologic Sky Pod I would take a look at replicating your setup, ideal for those on a budget or begrudge paying silly prices for over inflated kit. I am a bit OCD about digging the pods legs in when on mud/grass bank and when on rocks I...
