Maggot Drowners Complete Guide to Angling

[Zerkalo]

Meant in jest

Rules for fishing

1) Only use Brown Crumb or homemade groundbait as new ones are fandangled.
2) Do not buy nice tackle when you can fashion your own, you're probably not a good enough angler to warrant it anyway.
3) Fish must be caught on dead pinkie only, especially Barbel, on 0.06 hooklengths if possible. Not forgetting the 15g cage feeder in flood conditions.

Anymore? Meant in jest remember.... although probably a humour fail on my part, just my thoughts at the moment.

Ready to hit a commercial tomorrow with worm on the hook and snag a double figure Bream that's meant to be in there...

Never use more than a 6 elastic.

...there’s clearly a need for a different rod for every kind of fishing or species of fish. It is totally impossible to catch a tench whilst using a feeder on an Avon rod whilst targeting roach on a commercial carp water...

And at least half of them must be acolytes.

 

[Me and my lad]

Does count if no guru gear used

 

[ukzero1]

Only fish in the next peg if yours has no fish in it.

No bent hooks allowed.

Casters only allowed when casting.

All Guru tackle is banned (the fish don't like the orange colour).

Decorating the island with floats/feeders is mandatory.

See? We could all be rich if it wasn't for that pesky fishing tackle

 

[Neil ofthe nene]

I am! Guess why. (Re read Chefster's post)

 

[JLK]

Because you had a good job and a final salary pension from the bank you worked at?

 

[Dave]

What size hook do I need for Brown Crumb?

And is one crumb or two better for Carp?

 

[spanky]

Save money on expensive deadbaits by fishing venues with no pike in them...

 

[ukzero1]

Size 24 short shank. This time of year just single crumb hair rigged.

Because I didn't p it all up the wall, spent only what I could afford, planned for retirement. No matter what income you have you can still be poor. Millionaires go bankrupt.
