Fishing Secrets

Well after another couple of hours water whipping, I'm gonna have to change my name to "Eelman"...........another 2 river snakes...................

The alternate to pan frying is deep fat frying, most people associate fried fish with chips hence the need for a descriptive term for the cooking method

Good point well made
Just a lot of these poncy chefs get on my nerves as you may have guessed

Used to get some cracking eels in our local river after dark, not done that for a while though.

Tutti frutti or elderflower flavour at this time of year ( not sure how I know that).
Don't know much about course fishing but love sitting on a jetty at home(Australia) before breakfast and catching a couple to take home to eat.
Have fished by the sea here for hours and hours and hours, using the same bait, rig and technique as other successful anglers at the same spot and only taking home 'pity' fish from the bulging bags of others!

Tutti Frutti is a popular summer bait amongst Carp anglers, I'm sure Jonny will confirm.

Nice one Snadge............my flies arrived from China today so looking forward to dabbling with them as the river has a lot of good size sea trout & salmon (although I'll be fishing for Barbel & Chub....................I couldn't kill one though so would have to go back.

My all time Carp bait was a cigar rig out of half a slice of bread............I think surface fishing is something to be witnessed.

[Potstubsdustbins]

And there was me thinking fishing was all hooks and maggots, I have to be honest and say I have little or no idea what you are talking about.

As far as I know a good cigar rig is made of silver and is used to cut the end off prior to sticking a hole down the length of the cigar so you get a good suck without your cheek muscles collapsing.
