Sounds like one of my fishing sessions:D

world peace and an end to poverty...............more time to go fishing!

Hi all, am lucky enough to be visiting this iconic lake this week :D, any tips or advice greatly appreciated,

just seen these on a FB link 4,5 and 6oz feeders

Also, been catching some in Hampshire Anglers_fined_hundreds_for_illegal_fishing/

Hope you enjoy it, probably the one and only time one of my catches will appear in a fishing book!

Thanks guys, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you view it!) I'm committed for the weekend so will give it a go! The tip on the boilies is helpful, thanks John, such a huge choice for someone who rarely fishes, I'll let you know how it goes.
