I'm pretty sure there are "no fishing" signs on the Brighten le Sands groynes

As i generally use lures, I like to fish with the wind behind me. This lengthens my cast an minimise the bow in the line caused by wind

Great write up. DerekD is indeed a selfless fisherman.

Try this clip for pointers

Also get some leader, either mono or flurocarbon to go at the end of your braid

Try Brays Park at Rhodes, that's where I got my first fish on a plastic

The Top Water King strikes again!!!

I've seem to find small circle hooks produce more gut hooks

Hi Derek, i usually fish for bream, but occasionally get a pesky megladon as by catch. cheers Richard

I’m asking about spinning reels. I’ve got a baggage scale to help. Was wondering do you measure by pulling the line straight off the reel in a straight line or do you measure the drag with the rod at a 45 deg and pulling down at 45 deg Do you measure by gradually increasing your pulling pressure or do you measure the pressure with more of a jerk, like what happens when a fish runs. Do you go (25% of breaking strain) by your main line weight or your leader weight. To me leader weight seems logical but a lot of online info says main line. i did a website search with “drag setting” but those words were too broad. thanks Richard

absolutely sensational!!

Thanks for the update

There was talk of a carp virus a while ago but that seems to have gone quite. Anyone know of any updates?

Would you mind posting the photo?? cheers Richard

At least it wasn't a donut.
