my mate has the 12ft portabote, go out on the trent on it piking. its really good mate, they are pricey but much better than an inflatable in my opinion. the bottom flexes when you stand on and it takes a little getting used to standing and casting in it but its really stable. i would have one if i had the cash. just loads better than inflating one on the bank and you dont have to tow anything and can be stored dead easily. but if you have the room for a proper solid boat on a trailer id do that, get a lot more for your money.

traditionally i think its autumn thru to early winter mate, but get some later runs also. too late now id say.
-
cheers for that whin gud read
-
its more about image big strong dog with big head. half them dont even look like lurchers let alone look like they can run
thats the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard, my heavy lad outruns my mates saluki whippetx coliier whippet for the first half mile or so anyway! lol. doesnt have the wind for them long runs but they aint bred for that. cant turn as well but not bad for his size.

chain smoking whilst lamping? im almost too excited and dont have a hand free to smoke, do when back at car or rest stops etc. lol

Soap dodgers will be given top priority and a couple of years bumming about at university will help.

did environmental conservation, its a job i could get but wouldnt want it in a million years

personally i think the fishing forum is quiet enough as it is and needs more peoples attention not splitting it up, be barely anything on each section
-
its old and used, wouldnt say cheap only 8 quid more for a brand new one with new bands
-
1,keep mobile, move every half hour or so, if you catch a jack or two consider waiting for a big girl in that swim.
2, try baits on the deck and mid water, trotted deads or paternoster float deadbait rigs work well for me.
3, try all areas in each swim, pike layed up in wait will often not move more than 6 foot or so for a meal
4, keep trying!

love to have a go at em,but none round here.think ill have to travel darn sarf lol nice one mate
where are you mate? plenty in the trent dont have to go too far south!

its not just about spending all the time with them tho mate, they need a good bond with you and they need downtime (away from you) as much as they need to be with you. and you need to be just and fair they wont take being unjustly punished. they need to know your the boss at all times but like north terriework says never get violent, never raise your hand to them, althought hey seem to have the hardman image now and lots seem to think if its bull it will have a hard tough temprament i have found the opposite i find them very sensitive and easy to mess up and get them not trusting you, they are just big softies really
-
well done on the pup mate,
NOW STOP HUNTING IN THE SUMMER!
-
put some time into it im not having a dig mate but ive owened a lot of dogs and never had this problem you get out what you put in treat her when she comes to you build a bond and the main thing no violence violence will get you no were once the trust is gone you won't get it back good luck mate..
good advice that mate, training aint worth a shit without that bond imo.
my dog is the same for first run or two, he has too much drive for his own good so i always start my night on some not so good land near where i intend to work him just to get the first couple of silly runs out of him so he calms down and then onto the serious land so he doesnt ruin it all by running it all on the first run hunting after. he is getting better think a lot of it is down to me not getting him enough work and him still being young
-
get a shock coller and after a run if she hunts up zap the c**t
am sure it will workdont listen to this clown!

-
get one on a zig too! cracking winter method

Just been reading about the venue pike fishing is only allowed on certain dates and from 9.30 am to 15.30 pm makeing it a good catch for the lengh of time your allowed to fish their some more dates for the venue announced and costs £13 a ticket and 70p parking.
is this recent mate? its very close to us but i heard it was only to a few peopl on the PAC. and it was pretty much closed book
-
i have to say my lad is coming up to 2 and a half now and just recently i have had to watch him with other dogs, he doesnt tend to start a fight but if one is developing he certainly isnt going to back down. until recently he would of legged it or not been bothered thinkin the other dog just wanted to play.
im not sure if this is down to where i live now, we rarely see other dogs on walks now where as before i was walking him through a park most days and he'd see plenty other dogs. lamping on his own is a real pleasure will walk off slip after couple of runs, well behaved quiet. but with my mates dog it can get a bit different, very competitive and if we have been out a while and he hasnt had a slip but we slip the other dog he can really be a handful, once he even tried to bite my arm so id drop the slip, soon nipped that little trick in the bud though. but as said before great with kids and people, but i still wouldnt trust him or any dog alone with kids

#No 1 thought of the fact its a 11weeks old and theres a good chance that its first time on lead, you who have brought pups up shud no excatly how pups behave when they not used to a lead. The pup aint excaty a bag of bones. Every1 jumps on the band wagon without even knowing the circumstances
thats your pup then?

Probaably because of the stupid Racism Laws we now have. Don't forget, ANYONE can complain of racism, even if it wasn't aimed at them, and the police are bound by law to respond !! Just look at the classic film "Dambusters" Guy Gibsons dog was called "Nigger", but now that name has been edited out !! It's all wrong in my mind, but some arsehole WILL report the site, simply because of your dogs name being , what in their mind is "racist" and "Offensive" !!
Cheers.
so you dont find nigger offensive?
Pike fishing any ideas ??
in Fresh & Salt Water Fishing

muddy bottom pike tend to almost be submerged in the mud and might not move much for a long time if its still enough id try deads fished under a unloaded pencil set at depth so float lays flat (just) then when you get a pick up it will stand up then move off. fish with minimum weight on the trace or just above so bait sins slow and settles on top of mud and twitch back to cover lots of water, also try popped up baits set to above the depth of the mud. keep moving, good luck
