how about a "sort of fish-in/barbe/piss up at ville "so we can all put faces to "names" (ideas ????? )

Sounds good Kev, don't leave it too late will ya, i might not get the time

Sounds like one for the summer,Ville`s about handy as owt else for a weekend social.
weekend July 26/27 looks okay with my leave rota or alturnatively have a piss up and ruby murray in town

I've had a couple of mid doubles from ************* (the place with no name!!!).

Steve B's done well, last I'd heard he'd done 3 20s and his PB twice since starting to fish it in April. We're on the same bait, I showed him the rigs I was using and offered advice about the lake....and he's outfishing me 3 to 1!!!

I'll not be going for a while now, the Mrs is due to hatch the sprog any time now, so I've been "advised" not to plan any fishing till July!!! Hopefully they will have spawned by then and be back on the feed.

I couldn't go this week anyway, water pump went on the car. Knocked out the timing belt too. It ain't gonna be cheap. Just hope I have it back for Friday, got a job interview in Grimsby at Youngs Bluecrest. Fingers crossed for ne?

Only managed a few nights this year so far and blankin big stylie, still never mind.

Social sounds good.

So Kev your offering to put up all us codheads then are you? Can we bring birds back to your gaff? Heard they're all easy in scunny or is that just a vicious rumour?

Ha,you can bivvy up in the garden or the local park
Easy as long as you`ve got the cash to pay for em

How would Hunty (A.V Developments) take to a social,might be best to okay it with him first Nick especially as it`s strict season opening and the regulars might not take to it kindly.
Other possible ticket venues???

Im off into the depths of Lincoln tomorrow to try and persuade one to come out! I will no doubt see you there Nick

Alrite lads, hows it goin. Went down to Richmonds the other week for a couple of days. I ended up with 3 and lost 1 upto 20lb 8oz. There is quite a few fish cumin out at the mo and is deffinately worth giving a bash. Im also gonna give Fulstow a go soon as there has been te odd 20+ out.

Social sounds really good but where is Ville, is it Ashbyville.

Rgds, wilko

"scunny girls easy" ???????? try tellin that to "our lass"

see you there "kitch" "on for a "4 day'er" so hopefully "it could be me"

and yes mate it is "the infamous "ashby ville"
any ideas ????? as for "alternative venues",input gratefully received.

pete "got room in my yard for four/five bivvys,just don't "pi**" on the plants or you might have an "angry women decimating your sleeping arrangements"

as for the social/barbe/piss up,will try to get hold of "steve or bill" to see what the score is !!!!! as i think it's still available on a day ticket basis,as for the regulars,i think i might know most of them so it should'nt be a problem (hopefully),will post a bit nearer "june 15th" as and when i get a bit more info
happy carping/breaming
nik

Shouldn't be a problem Nik, knowing Steve (the younger one) he will be ok about it , As for Mick you will very rarely see him, will talk to one of them of our intentions to see the reaction, will let you lot know.

alrite lads just thought id introduce myself,as i live in grimsby.
off sat and sunday to a syndicate water as a guest, some of you may know it,dead horse.anyway will let ya ya know how i get on.big fishes to ya all.

Alright there Stewbob, nice to have someone else from Grimsby on here, theres not that many of us compared to the Scunny Bunnies. (You don't count Pete now you're in Lincoln ). Good luck at Dead Horse mate

cheers boilyboy hopefully you will see me on hear quite alot with my catch reports,and we will show the scunny bunnies how its done.hehe.

Listen Boilyboy I'm a codhead through and through, Grimsby born and bred I aint no Lincoln nancy boy (apologies to all lincoln nancy boys bigger than myself ) have you got that pal ???!!!???

How's it going down at you know where? Got me name back on the waiting list. John told me that you fluked 2 of the 20's the other night mentioned something about casting over HIS spots?

Stewbob,

That's what I like to see mate, goading of the scunny bunny's.

Pete.

Pete I heard that you only moved to Lincoln to be amongst the Lincoln Nancy Boys cos there are no Nancy Boys in Grimsby

By "you know where" I take it you mean the one at the bottom of the valley with the green hut. If so then I've come off there for the mo. Had a good March on there with 5 20s and 20 odd good doubles but I've joined what was Hutchys lake further up the valley and I'm on there now (boy is there a lot going on there, the place has got REAL potential) already had 4 20s out, some real nice lookers.

As for casting over Johns spots, his acne has got nothing to do with me

LOLOLOLOL

J

wilko when we arranging this trip to richmonds then?
still waiting to get me first 20 and it sounds like you have done well on there this year so we will have to get up there and hopefully get one or two on the bank.

John's told me all about the new lake, can't really justify another £300 this year on waters still I may see about getting on the waiting list for next year.

As for the "green hut" water it will never be the hardest of waters but is always good for a bend in the rod.

As for nancy boy's there are a few if you know where to look, where did you say you all hang out John?

Bob,

Wilko is far to busy planning his TWO french trips to bother fishing with us.

Pete.

Nowthen lads,

Aint herd from u stewbob in a while mate. We will sort out a trip to richmonds soon but ive got to get my exams out of the way first. There are some crackin fish in there and i want to see if i can bank one of the biggies. Ive been twice this season and had 3, so not too bad. As for the two french trips, well there a holiday as much as anything but il try and get a few while im there. Im off to jurassica in june so we'll see what happends.

Rgds, Wilko

nik

Yep, after seeing him once down 'the ville' and heard he'd went to the trent for an overnighter He's firmly welded to the banks of his beloved Frod', and he usually push bikes there!

Hi lads had a few fish this week on a syndicate, then went to richmonds for the night and managed a 23.04 common yesterday morning.

Cheers,

Pete.

Nice one Pete.
Did you tie in with Steve and CJ on the homebrew bait??

We're in delicate negotiations !!!

No only kidding Kev i'm set to pick up my 1st batch next week. Looking forward to giving it a go Steve's been doing really well on it.

Cheers,

Pete.

Im afraid to say Pete outfished me big style.....3 20s to my blank. I went in there and battered the place the first 2 weeks....now there getting there revenge on me!!
Kev....looks like there nicely on the our bait...been watching them scoff it up in the shallows.
Next big rolling session probably end of June...then there will be 3 of us on CJs seceret (not so) little round balls.
I must say the place (u know where I mean) is looking very carpy at the moment...all nice and green 'n that.

Yep CJ said they were having it in the shallows.
Congrats on the PB.
5 nights from Monday onwards on Manton little un to look forward to.
Fingers crossed
Make sure Pete does his fair share of the mixing and rolling

Has anyone on here joined Wold Valley? I had a look and just didnt fancy fishing in Pea Green Soup! By all accounts there are still places left out of the 25 available. The guy running it said I could pay in instalments the £300 joining fee......seems their desperate to fill it.
I know some of the lads say its got potential, but looking at it, the water is devoid of any serious weed growth etc.....not what I would call a rich water to grow fish on.

Ok Steve, I don't know which lake you visited that was pea green but it wasn't Wold Valley! There are still places left and we're not desperate to fill them,nothing was said about paying in instalments we're just being careful who we let in. Its not just a case of turn up with your money and you're in. If you had had the courtesy to contact Glen after your visit you would have found out that you hadn't been accepted. Some of the reasons for this was because of some things that took place at Barleys which I'll not mention on here. Suffice to say we are looking for people to be part of a friendly syndicate where everyone gets along and has respect for the fish and their fellow anglers.

As for the lake not having potential I would rather listen to the opinions of the guys from the EA and the people that have fished the lake for the past 3 or 4 years and on the basis of that information I consider that the lake has the potential to produce some really good, big fish.

While we're clearing the decks here Steve you mentioned on the phone to Glen that we were really good mates and fishing buddies whilst on Barleys. Steve, I know you as an angler that was on Barleys for two seasons, we spoke as anglers do. We never fished together although we might have been on the lake at the same time. Steve, if you ever want to use my name as an intro to someone please do the decent thing and contact me first.

Steve,

The water at the Valley is FAR from being Pea Green!!In fact it is quite a clear lake!!

Fair enough if you don't wanna join the lake but don't come on here slagging it off!!I have spoke to the syndicate leader and he told me you were not offered a deal to pay the membership in insalments!!And i know for a FACT that they are not pleased at all with you slagging the place off!!

J

Fairs fair Steve, this is not the place to slag a newly opened syndicate.

Give it time with the right people looking after the place it (which by all accounts it does) it has the potential to be an excellent water. Something that is rare in these parts.

Pete.

Are there any syndicate places left in the area

Neil

Theres me thinking a forum was a place for ones opinions and views!
Like to know what went on at Barleys Chris?

Opinions and views are one thing Steve, lies and make believe are something completely different!

As to what went on at Barleys I did say that I wasn't going to mention things on here as I didn't want to highlight examples of bad angling practice (IMO)or slag anyone off on a public forum.The boat episode Steve for one.

The post that you made about Wold Valley was wholly uncalled for and the fact that you would post what you did reinforces our belief that we made the right decision in not accepting you for membership.We can do without people like that.

Enjoy your fishing Steve and try to let others do the same.

Th

WOLD VALLEY

WHAT!!!!!!

Excuse me Steve why have you written that total and utter crap about Wold Valley?

I don't mind people making Criticisms about our lake if they have good reason too. What you have writ down is total and utter lies.

One if you took your head out of your a**e when walking around you would have found the lake was not like pea soup but totally the opposite. You could not have missed the crystal clear stream what feeds the valley therefore making the water quite clear.

TWO were did you get this c**p that we said you could pay in instalments what total and utter bull nobody pays in instalments.

THREE I heard about you a long time before I took over the valley by numerous people and if you had of contacted me about looking around the place I would most defiantly have said no. I/we want people who can get on with other anglers know how to look after fish and certainly do not slag other people off behind there backs.

I am hoping that not many people listen to your underhand comments and take you for what you really are.

Any anglers on the warehouse are invited to have a look at the lake obviously by appointment you can then make your own judgements about the valley.

youngy

steve,
lets get a few things straight here about you and the valley,
firstly,when you first rang me up you couldnt give me your money fast enough,bearing in mind you havent even seen the lake that put a serious doubt in my mind as to how much of a competent carp angler you are,nobody in there right mind would pay without seeing a venue.
secondly...unless you had a ski mask over your head you were at the totally wrong lake
wold valley doesnt remotely resemble pea green soup,it never has done and never will do,like my partner said if you bother to open your eyes you would have seen it was fed by a natural stream and out of a sluice gate at the other end(another reason to doubt your angling capabilities).
thirdly....this lake has the gubbings of producing big fish(which it will do)any sensible carp angler would be able to tell this just by looking at the place,it is naturally fed and is basically a larder for the fish(another reason to doubt you)
fourthly....we are not desperate to fill our syndicate in the first few weeks of opening,for the simple reason we want anglers who can see the place how it will be in five years time and not with people who carnt see past their nose.
wold valley is for people with some insight and vision and not fly by night muppet anglers who havent got a clue what they are talking about.
im afraid to say steve,you definetly fall into the latter part of this and this is why if you had botherd to phone me you would have found that you were not accepted by myself or martin

so in future steve if you want to slag off a water make sure you have a clue what you are talking about

regards
glen.watmough

A massive shout of congratulations to Pete for the 30

Well done Pete, understand its gonna be called Nick

as already stated steve, you obviously walk about with your head up your a**e because the water in the valley is next to gin clear ,and the green that you could see was from the weedgrowth that you said doesnt exist,clown.
Unfortunately i may have been the one that gave you the inclination to take a look with a view to membership,thank god you were rejected,and rejected you were (big time)
By the way,steve has just joined mesters ?(or so he says) and hes slagging of all you scunny guys too,looks to me as no-one wants him on there waters , he also pulled of manton coz it did his head in and the lads were w*****s,not you tho steve ay ?
Also while im on a roll the guys you have name dropped to me with reference to them all being your "fishing buddies" ha ha ha

Just a short log on today.

If anyone is interested, Humberside libraries now have all 3 parts of The Syndicate trilogy available for loan.

ooh ooh I want to read the 3rd part. Shame I dont live in humberside anymore!

Pete.

Pete,

Your 30 has come out again to Rik at 32:00, Daz said its condition has improved since its last visit to the bank.
Ps If ur down there take some strong hooks/links etc and be prepared to lose a few in the green stuff (its really coming up) there really up for feeding at the moment! Spent 3 days on last week 9 runs....5 weeded up, 4 landed 11:04, 17:08, 23:08, 24:12...all stunners. Also ive only seen 1 angler on there in the last 2 weeks.

Nice one stew glad to see you caught a few of the top

congrats again mate

martin

cheers lads,
stew.

I see App Frod has had it's usual yearly stocking, though this time they have decided to stock both ponds, the main lake has received some 500 small carp and the match lake 1500! Just when i thought this could be getting a decent fishery in terms of weight gains and size of carp, they go down the road of stocking it to the hilt with small pasties (1oz to 1lb), sadly when i fished it a fortnight ago that was unknown to me, to be my last time fishing the place , good luck Frod committee.

cal,
when did they stock it,would be interested to know
on a lighter note,did richmond sunday tea till tuesday,wanted to get on the big lake but it looked like a bleeding camp site and couldnt find a quiet spot anywere
ended up on the back lake and ended up with a couple of doubles,biggest 15.4lb..
come midnight on monday night the buggers decided to start spawning so packed up early doors and left them to it

Last week i'm reliably informed, i'm hoping the pike have some serious carp fodder

last week!!!!!!!
thats a very,very bad move,far too late in the season to be shifting fish

Tend to agreewith you there Watty wrong time of year could cause BIG problems hopefully not like

Club committees don't you just love em , as ever the match men are complaining about their weights, so in their wisdom they have a policy of stock, stock and a little more stock, anyone who has fished Frod over the years will know it is not a bagging water, it is a lovely mature lake that holds some good fish in it, generally you have to work at it to get results, the coarse fish are generally in tip top condition esp the big roach, but with the amount of bagging waters that have sprung up over the last 5-10 yrs it's what the match lads have been used to, until they fish Frod! Sadly i think they are going down the same route, i still have the Trent to look forward to

NODDIES;Always will be the same,15 year ago they,d have wanted all the carp out!("keep snapping me line")now they ca,nt put enough in(need big wieght,like at sands")one consellation though the pike and cormerants will get fat!. dont think these fish will cause a problem somehow! ENJOY IT!.

mmm,
time will tell if these fish cause problems or not
there seems to be too much emphasis these days on how much money can be earned rather than building a decent fishery
but like the rest of the so called fishery managers that have come and gone,they will all learn the hard way
in my book its quality rather than quantity

RIGHT ON DUDE

These same committe members are the ones complaining that the carp in the small lake are getting to big and are snapping the match men everytime they hook one. They are actually telling anglers if they catch a double figure fish in the small pond, then transfer it over to the main lake. Are they mad or what???

What youve got to remember here is this water is not a carp fishery/syndicate.the main decisions to the future of the type/quality of fishing will and is decided by a majority..,or that would be the impression!.unfortunatley carp anglers are outnumbered in every way.sometime ago this problem was addressed ,or was attempted to be addressed by carp angling members who became committee members.in a fare system this would have some level of impact.ie fareness.unfortunatley as time passed a rule passed to only include CORUS employees onto the committee.,(end of that one i here you say)it appears here in this present situation the present direction of the management is catering for the majority ie,NODDIES. theres not a lot you can do as a small group of carp anglers,but i do wonder how many of you work for CORUS.TIME will tell if youre really bothered. ENJOY IT

Cough, cough, Corus employee here .

""it appears here in this present situation the present direction of the management is catering for the majority ie,NODDIES. theres not a lot you can do as a small group of carp anglers,but i do wonder how many of you work for CORUS.TIME will tell if youre really bothered. ENJOY IT.""


Correct me if i am wrong Addict, the present situation has always been to cater for the majority of anglers i.e. pleasure anglers. Not once in my 15 yrs as a member have they taken a stocking policy to look after the carp anglers. It is frustrating watching a fishery develope into what could become a first class water for all anglers develope into a bite-a-chuck water, personally this is not for me, so i will go elsewhere and fish, here's hoping those pike get extremely fat .

you are right , plenty of other places,why get involved in a continual battle where your outnumbered every time.they,ll still blank in their matches.they aint got a clue! ENJOY IT !

Yes working men`s club angling commitees - don`t you just love `em
Nothing new i`am afraid - Cons club and Ashby Institute (RIP) on Moorwell Rd went thru the same wrangles at one time.
Be thankful the Commitees arn`t still operating pike culls - this reason i left the `stute about a year before it`s final demise,drainage and backfill (and they never ever did bugger all with the land)

If you want to influnce these chappies then turning up at AGM`s and going thru the process of getting carpers nominated as club officals is a must.

Still the beer`s cheap in the clubs

Manton big lake producing a few - 3 for me last night to 19-06.

Catching a few myself on the trent, which is not like me 8 carp between two of us biggest going 18:04 to my m8, lost count of the number of barbel, biggest at 9:08 and quite a few of those bait robbing chub, don't you just love em and found out last week what i suspected for a while, there is catfish in the trent and one or two people are catching .

Wouldn`t mind a Trent sess with you Cal.
I`ll pm you my leave datesfor the rest of the summer over this weekend,but i`ll bear in mind you`ll be occupied by "other" matters in the not to distant future
11lb top,19-06 bottom

No problem Kev, thanks for the reminder .

I`ll sort the out dates tomorrow Cal.
It`s been the mid 70`s since i last fished the Trent on matchs for the `Stute

20-12 Common last night,that`s me fished up and out until mid July.

Nice fish, Kevin.

Well done!

Any tips for the FW members...?

Yeh,go fishing instead of working !!!
You know it makes sense!!

Got your dates Kev, will sort something out, it will most likely be mid-week, two choices really, just to catch a carp or probably blank but a slim chance of a biggie ?

Nice common .

Who`s fussy,i`ll settle for a barbel or chub
beats catching Nev`s rainbows on 18 mm boilees!!!!
2 of the bleedin things last week!!!

So come on then lads who's been where? I know Jon have been working wonders with a piece or cork but who else is getting a few? Myself only been out once in the last couple of months but going to France with Wilko and another lad in a couple of weeks so really looking foward to that.

Alrite lads, Just got back from france a couple of weeks ago. Had an awesome weeks fishing with a new PB of 30lb 8oz. I had 8 fish in total with a few twenties aswell on the bank. Havnt done alot of fishing really this year but im off to Dreamlakes with Pete G on the 15th August so that should be good. I would like to do a bit of fishing in England before i go to france but ive only just come out of hospital and am recovering from having my apendix taken out. Will try and squeeze a seshion in before france though if i feel up to it.

Have any of you lads been fishing lately.

Rgds, wilko

JEEEZZ Wilko the lengths you will go to to get someone else to carry your gear for you! I can feel the back ache coming on now!

Pete.
