BEARINATOR 2,842 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Good result mate, certainly beats sitting in the house bored Quote Link to post
MUDD 374 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I've never fished for Carp myself mate, though it's hard to beat fishing with the kids in the good weather and showing them the ropes. Seeing them catch more or bigger fish makes it even better. Great crack and no better feeling. Quote Link to post

billybaltic 308 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Never been to lathom bull, heard a fair bit about the place but just never been, the night fishing sound's good, we were supposed to go last summer but never did, iv'e been doing a bit of lure fishing on the canal, plenty of perch and jack's, wouldn't mind a decent perch or two, i have never had a double figure pike from the canal just down the road from me, but i have seen plenty of them, so i am having ago, slow walk along and then a slow walk back, about 4 - 6 hour's depending how you feel, getting into this lure fishing now.
