IF I catch I never hide info
I love match fishing too, especially when I'm whooping Tinky and Conna

Cheers for the info
What was the biggest carp you caught ?

the carp are around the 5-7lb range all commons, strange really i thought the wind was swirling at 8mtr out but when i was plumming up i was having liners off a shoal and struggled to set the depth so set my rig rock bottom fed 1 pot of liquidized corn fished worm and bingo i was in.

one guy was fishing with pellets and was sacking, i thought they were banned

TBH I'm not sure on the rules now. I think they have changed to what I originally posted.
Tinky is ringing them up to finalize the rules.
All I know is that you can't use your own nets there.

your spot on si they issue you with Keepnet & Landing net

#32

Right, rules....

Pellets ARE allowed but you must buy their feed pellets.
You can use Hookers of your choice.
Meat is allowed but only on the hook..(to be confirmed on the morning)
No Hemp, GB, paste, cat/dogmeat, macaroni cheese or Boilies.

Do not take any nets at all.

its 143 mile round trip from stoke, and 110 from cannock,

wtf must be crazy

#34

48.4 mi – about 1 hour 2 mins

Thats one way for me

Me and Dryduck are getting there at about 7.30-7.45 for a bit of brekky by the way.

I need to go round the pool and shoo any wildlife away just incase

I could also get Tinky to ring round the lads that are coming and ask them to bring any grasscuttings or kitchen scraps to contribute towards your wormery.
