    Type of rig you use?

    I use short hooklengths often 6-7 inches on a bolt rig - I want to minimise the risk of pick ups not converting.

    Shocking murder of a bloke trying to catch a few barbel

    I fish the opposite side, as you obviously know Gerry that is a very tucked away spot. I wouldn't night fish there and I've fished into the early hours elsewhere on the river but never had any issues. Terrible and scary what happened, it does make you think about when and where to fish I agree.

    Float fishing for carp

    I always used to fish to features where possible, lillies or overhanging trees etc. 6-8lb line straight through and I used to put a band on the hook and fish a large pellet or lump of meat to deter the smaller fish. As above, I've had them up to 20lb on a power float rod. Great fun!

    Tench - fishing on a new lake question.

    Hi Dave. Thanks for your advice. I have started prebaiting a spot but was thinking up to about 10am would be the window but I'll experiment with times. I've been there a few times now and the fish just don't seem to show much at all. The spot I've chosen isn't an option for night fishing so...

    Lead core

    I have used it on both rivers and lakes previously but as others have mentioned stopped due to the safety concerns. The issue that bothered me was when the lead starts showing through potentially stopping the lead from coming off in the result of a break. I now use 15 or 25lb fluorocarbon as a...

    Quick drag reels vs bait runner

    I've just bought a pair of Shimano x aero 2500 & the clutch is superb. I wanted to be able to easily change the drag so chose a front drag reel drag but I wouldn't be without the baitrunner system. Being woken up whilst night fishing and trying to remember the drag is loose would be way...

    Hemp

    Hi Jon. I soak it for about 36-48 hours and then bring it to the boil on the hob. I then put it in a cool box for 24+ hours until I need to use it. I normally have a few pints in the freezer if I don't have thea time to prepare. There are also lots of different types with lots of different...

    Tench - fishing on a new lake question.

    I'm joining a new club june 16 & will be fishing a large gravel pit. I've spent a couple of evenings up until 9.30pm looking for any signs of fish but have so far drawn a blank, in fact there has been literally no signs of any fish bubbling or showing. The lake, visually at least, is pretty...

    Hemp

    What type of river - how wide, fast, deep etc etc and how would you be looking to introduce it? I've had success using a bait dropper in a small Thames tributary an hour or so before fishing. I wouldn't personally use it solely for prebaiting, I'd add some pellets, boilies or actual food also...
