Clattercote Teach-in (12th April 2008)

[Graham Marsden (ACA)]

It looks like it's the 12th by majority decision. But would someone else please have a quick browse through the thread and confirm that.

You're the governer, you tell 'em.

put me down for this on the 12th please

Please count me in, either the 5th or the l2th are not a problem.

As a 58 year old angler returning after a 20 year lay off both methods are new to me.

I am a Chris Yates fan, as such my idea of an advanced rig is a swan shot a foot away from the hook. (I do catch carp by the way, my best last year which marked my return was 18lbs and I had several in double figuers - just shows the carp have not changed.only fashions - no need for self hooking rigs if you can watch a pieced of silver paper and time a strike ok.

Looking at the venue it does not look like much of a carp pool, but it will be great to meet new people and to see these, to me anyway, new methods put in to action.

Help may be needed, and if anyone has a decentsplit cane Mark 4 do please bring it along, it would be great to fish with a proper rod and not a length of dead carbon. (A Mark 4 Avon would do, more than enough power to take a 50lb carp out of Redmire, so more than enough to deal with most other places and the normal run of carp)

"Map to Clattercote - Clattercote is the little blue rectangle just above the word ‘Mollington’."

I like that! A map and every year he'll say to somebody in Tescos car park "If you know where it is, can I follow you because I've forgotten". He's only been 50 times or more.

/forum/smilies/crying_smiley.gifSadly I will have to skip this one then, as I already got other engagement on the 12th

I'm really gutted now/forum/smilies/crying_smiley.gif/forum/smilies/crying_smiley.gif anyone got an idea where I can get an overdose of blue smarties?/forum/smilies/sad_smiley.gif

 

[Neneman Nick]

I`ve done plenty of method feeder fishing butno bagging waggler fishing what so ever,so i might just come along to this shindig???

For those who haven`t done any method feeder fishing before,its good fun especially when the carp are havin it!!! I`ve sat at drayton and had me rod pulled from the rest with a wanging big bite and also had to sit there on me hands waiting for the inevitable wrap round while you can see the rod tip .....tip,tap,tapping away from the carp banging away at the method feeder!!!

I have fished at clattercote a couple of times in club matches and managed a section win on the method feeder but that was down at the shallow end of the resevoir.
