In general which is your favored tactic ?

Pole at 4 to 5 metres on the deck with pellet or paste.

Balling it in on deep canals and lakes,then bagging up with roach and skimmers

and a bit of tip and waggler fishing thrown in lovely

So whats natural venues in your opinion

Use your imagination...............what do you think


But if you want a debate as I know your preferences differ from mine

A venue

a) created by natures impact upon the earth – rivers, pools and lakes

b) that may be a by product of mans impact upon the landscape – pools created from quarrying, drains, canals, reservoirs etc.

c) originally created to aesthetically please the eye – not originally intended as a ‘fishery’ – viz pools on country estates

Whilst the above may not cover all venues considered as falling under my loose term of ‘natural’ I personally specifically exclude.................


holes dug in the ground, less than 20 years of age with no matured landscaping, dug specifically as commercial ventures to fleece anglers in pursuit of multiple ‘tons’ from their money - particularly those venues where an angler pays a peg fee equivalent to a ‘day’ ticket, for a 5 hour match and is expected to pay the same again if wanting to ‘stay over’ after the match or is forced off the water by a following match……………..

Couldn't agree with you more TK
People who have a hole in the field fleecing hard working guys and gals,they put up the prices because joe bloggs did three weeks ago but do they put more fish in
Bet they don't drop the price as vat has gone down ::)

prime red fins on a stick float 20 yards down your peg if carlsberg stocked river they would probably be the best in the world

up in the water on si's and tinks fave method gone of though,don't mind as long as i'v got a carp hangging on the other end

On the deck in the margins although at distance I am still trying to get the hang of fishing shallow.One day it works the next nothing.

One day it works the next nothing.

thats fishing

the method feeder using the new preston speed mould or pole at 14.5m with paste over pellet and corn on carp waters but i also like to fish for bream on a cage feeder
