*** The 'official' sports fishing thread ***

[Deleted member 77746]

Hi chaps,

Decided to make a fishing thread for all us fishing fanatics. What lakes do you all fish.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Has the lake got a website, is it a match lake too?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

used to fish Yateley lakes for carp many years ago, biggest i had was Bazil from the north lake just shy of 50lbs, im more into sea fishing now though.. bagged 9 cod to 10lb amongst other stuff a couple of weeks ago wreck fishing out of Brighton marina.
a forum meet aboard a boat from the south coast somewhere could be good? or do i get banned from the thread for mentioning sea fishing?

Maybe another thread for an official sea fishing is needed as fishing is a hidden sport yet millions of people do it.

Hopefully I can keep this one to coarse fishing but might be able to have the title changed shortly so it's all types of fishing then it means it won't get all over the place.

EDIT: If a mod spots this message can it please be changed to *** The 'official' sports fishing thread ***

Also I think it might be worth moving it into the sports section if there is one? Ideas would be greatly appreciated. - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=13

I hate easy lakes, it's much better to try harder than catch every put in. Lakes need to be worked at to understand them.

That lakes looks nice, needs some features to fish too though.

Depends, I enjoy an easy day by the lake catching a few easy fish with bare minimum gear (i.e. not boxes and boxes of kit/tent/etc etc) whilst sitting in the sun with a can of fosters. That's how I look at fishing and how I choose to enjoy it!

Yeh, can't beat this too! It just depends what mood I'm in really. I like a challenge or two on any acceptable method.

then you'd have loved Yateley north lake when i was fishing down there.. 13 acres and only 5 carp

That's a tad pushing ... could be there weeks, months even in a tent!

 

[Deleted member 77746]

damn maggot drowners

Same could be said for yourself needle willy!

ha

 

[Deleted member 77746]

try 150 nights++ in a tent over 3 seasons lol, 3 takes 3 fish.. baby Bazil twice ~26lb then Bazil then /quit the lake job done lol

Half a year nearly? Errrrrrrrr!

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Sorted old chap

YeY thanks !

 

[Deleted member 77746]

i like a challenge.. trying to pluck 1 perticular fish from a 13 acre lake seemed like a good idea for the first couple of nights

Damn bet that was fun

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I won't be, too busy shopping so got to give it a miss. Mind you it's really nice mild wether up here North. Ambient temperature to bring on the deep divers.

The rivers might be up a little might be floods in certain areas...

Tight lines!

Barbel fight good, first time I was on the river with my first barbel nearly pulled my rod in and was close to loosing it.

Did you get any pictures?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Them pictures of the Barbel are perfect! Not a mark on them. What bait did you get them on and were you using the feeder?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I have bumped this thread back to the top

Anyone been out the last week or so? I did won a match with 18lb 2oz... 4 tench, 4 skimmers, couple big roach and perch and a bag of roach/perch/rudd. Was a lovely day until it started pouring it down with rain.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I have a fishing match tonight looking forward too it! Nice weather too.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I just come back from a fishing match... didn't do well at all! Bad windy conditions, water still cold... ended up with 9oz ha ha! couple perch, roach n that's it!

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Thread revival. I was Fishing yesterday. Had a Mirror carp around 6 pound. Was perfect condition and had it on double pinkie.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Holy thread revival 2019. Anyone out? I been out couple times this year and done well over the sessions. Once my house has sold as I'm in the process of the final stages I'm going to be treating myself to a new pole, couple new rods/reals and luggage set! Can't wait!

@cainer why did you edit all your posts?
