With the cold weather upon fishing can be that little bit harder, but as Anglers we all love a good old challenge.
Thursday, I decided to have a visit to Brookside Fisheries. It's a venue I don't fish too often, the main match Lakes are stocked well with F1s, but a decided to fish a lake, called Kingfisher, this is stocked with a bit of everything.
Lakes that are stocked with a variety of different speciesare always good fun this time of year, you just don't know what you are going to catch.
Why Use Fluorocarbon?
Have you ever tried fluorocarbon? If not, you may want to after reading Matt Godfrey’s opinion…
I had a real love-hate relationship with fluorocarbon the first few times that I used it. I loved the concept of it, but hated tying it up… it was a nightmare! For those that don’t know, fluorocarbon is a material that is supposed to be invisible under water. Personally, I don’t think it is… I can still see it, so I’m sure the fish can too. I actually think they can sense line more than see it, as their eyes are on the sides and tops of their heads.
Perfectly Functional!
Tom Scholey expresses his love of a seatbox system that he firmly believes is the best ever made. There is absolutely no need for any kind of platform when you own an Octbox!
I have certainly been guilty in the past of looking for fashion over function when selecting a seatbox. Indeed, I probably made the ultimate sacrifice for doing so too – when my old ‘pretty’ box gave way, causing me to fall into the lake. I was also guilty of being very cynical when I first set eyes on a Nordik Octbox.
