PB Ghostie For Me

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

After a recent 24 hour session on a local syndicate I landed this stunning 25lb 8oz Ghostie along with 4 other fish. The fish fell to my standard blowback set up consisting of the new Korda Kaptor Wide Gape Hooks, Korda Weed Green Shrink Tube and Atomic Jel-E-Wyre hooklink with an Armaled Locjaw Safety Leadclip, 3oz Korda Pear Swivel Lead and 3 ft of ESP Leadcore. The hookbait was a snowman presentation. The fish were all landed with the aid of the new Korda Subline.

Avid Carp Sight Stops are a useful boilie stop that adds visual attraction to your hookbait.

Now attach the Sight Stop to the hair loop via the hook on the underside of the stop.

Pull the stop into the bait and you are now ready to go.

Close Season – 2011

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Another reminder now. There is a national coarse fish closed season on all rivers, streams, drains from the 15th of March to 15th of June inclusive. Some stillwaters and canals which are designated sites of specific scientific interest (SSSI’s) also have the same close season. So make sure you are fishing legally, as you can face a big fine and a criminal record if you are caught otherwise.

Best fishes,

John

Rod Licence – 2011

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

A reminder that your rod licence is due to expire on the 15th/16th March. As I have stressed before you can get a criminal record and a fine of up to £2000 if you are caught without a valid licence so it really isn’t worth the risk. A rod licence costs £27 for the year, if you fish with more than 2 rods you will need 2 rod licences. Licences are available from the Post Office, by phone from The Environment Agency on 08708 506 506 or online at www.environment-agency.gov.uk/fish. Tight lines and happy fishing for the coming season.
