  1. Loved this when you showed it to me Mark

    Can't believe I have never seen that Windfinder site mentioned anywhere before either. I have had a look at the UK and it goes down to extremely localised levels. Very impressive!

  2. he was a fascinating man and I think I am right in saying he went on to invent a few other things later on in his life. he dropped out of the mainstream carping media and still fished pretty much up to when he died - there is a bench as a memorial to him at the woolpack fisheries in east midlands, UK.

    There has been some debate as to whether they actually invented the hair rig though - especially as there is actually evidence of similar rigs tied up by russian fisherman dating back to the turn of the 20th century. Sadly we will probably never know as lenny is RIP and kevin maddocks (allegedly) wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and shat on his doorstep.

  3. come on tristan...........the only thing youl show anyone how to do is smack a spomb right when its about to be casted!

    Poor poor Jamie! Lol - Sorry man, had to reference it!

    :(

    He is also good at keeping everyone awake all night too :D

  4. Otters also like carp if there are no trout around.

    A few of my old haunts in the U.K. were decimated by otters.

    Very sad :(

    major environmental disaster waiting to happen there. as soon as the carp are gone then they will move onto other animals and with the otter being an apex predator and people still encouraging their release I fear they will not realise the damage that it is doing until far too late (and will no doubt look to shift the blame somewhere else).

    best thing that can happen there is for some otters to start ruining the nesting sites of some rare birds so they get the RSPB on their backs.

  5. had a guy in a small yacht go through my line in the UK a few years back. was brand new 20lb fluro and I was screaming at him to watch out for it when he came in close. he said he wouldn't catch it but still managed to hook up and wasn't too happy when I managed to actually stop him in his tracks and cause the boom to swing around and catch him on his shoulder. Oh how we laughed at him afterwards :D

  6. They didn't bring any Carp in on the boat, but I can confirm for you that there is Carp in Grenadier Pond. I have caught several there on float bread, all under or around 10lbs. You can see them rolling on the surface, or cruising the shallows in the evenings.

    thanks for letting me know - I may go for a walk around down there then.
