How many of you pre-bait if fishing the Thames or do you just turn up with big smelly glugged baits?
I know a couple of chaps that prebait but they live quite close to where they fish but they have had some nice fish out.
Plus always the chance that someone is in your baited swim when you...
Id rather watch Susan Boyle playing Naked Twister with Jim Shelley.
Macey is bearable but his constant laughing and hollering is extremely annoying. And Mr. Hamidi i just........................:mad:
Just prepared myself a load ready for next week. Ive done one bag of Garlic Spam with extra garlic salt and ive fried up a load with Thai Fish sauce. Both smell rather yummy!
Knowing my luck, the colour will drop out just as im starting to catch on it!
Fish the Thames around Hampton Court, Molesey, Sunbury etc. and all ive had is bream! But i also fish the Wey and im catching some lovely chub and barbel and a few little carp as well.
Tend to mainly use boilie and pellet on the Thames but am going to try meat when it picks up a bit and has...
Always good to hear other peoples opinions and tactics tho mate. Im from a carping background so I spend a lot of time listening to river men! Proper fishing :D
Just checked which ones I am using and its the Fox 21mm Pellet Pegs. They are clear so pretty inconspicuous and i trim the tags down a little. Been working well for me.

Been very effective for me on smaller...
Last night, I managed to cast my DAB radio into the river! I had just returned a 4lb Chub and i was concentrating on hitting the same spot and as I cast I felt something heavy and then saw my radio flying through the air. I started to wind in and my hook had wrapped around the end of the ariel...
Wouldnt trust myself making my own, i struggle to knock up paste!!!
The lads at carp company always produce top baits for me at a good price so ill keep using them for now.
Have ordered the spicy crab and garlic on an icelandic red base, 5k of boilies and 5k of barrels.
Have caught on both and just about to put an order in for 10k but cant decide which to get. Trying to stick to just one bait this season and also to be able to use it for a little carping. It will be spicy with garlic and made by Carp Company.
Would you go for crab or Lobster?
