Has anyone had a carp nip off the bait by cutting the line with their pharyngeal teeth?

no, I use a braided hooklength.

I once terrorised an adolescent male tench though by foul hooking it in its gonads, what a scrap that was !

Taken from the EA website..


The tench is one of the few coarse fish where the sexes can easily be determined by looking at them. The mature male fish has a greatly thickened second ray and longer pelvic fin, not to mention a tremendous set of knackers.

So anyone get to the lake and "feature find" see what the lake is like?

bottom, soft, hard, depth ? weed?

Find a nice spot and then use a bait rocket ?

Do a few cast with the bait rocket reel in and cast out with your bait 5 mins later you pull in a 18lbs ??

My best fish

Sounds very technical and time consuming. Just get a bottle, some carbide, some strong string and a couple of bricks. Best ones are the type that have three holes in them. Take a landing net, waders or be prepared to go swimming.

It sucks like a carp mopping up natural bloodworm, or taking a nice piece of crust off the top.

It doesn't suck like a carp eating a rubber marble tasting of synthetic toenail cheese/baked bean/pilchard and concentrated lychee having been brainwashed into the act by an incessant diet of Radio one, microwaves going *ping* tinnies going *psshhhh* and the plod of foosteps back and forth along the bank as so-salled anglers swap ****-mags at midnight of the second day without a nibble. (Breathe)

If you did you wouldnt like it carp are very gritty to eat and need to be soaked for a while in water to loose the grityness ( Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall)

Also the lake owner would proberbly have you stung up by the nearest tree by your Bollies

Fished one lake and the owner ex SAS uses night scopes to check people are
1) ok
2) not messing about
3) Actually on the lake

The lake is near a pub and some fishermen tend to leave there rods out fishing while in the pub up the road what Ar$eholes

He caught 2 guys doing that waited for them to come back well pi$$ed and kicked them off the lake
Also called up the local bobbie and told him 2 guys will be leaving the lake soon and drunk in a car

And if anyone wants to go to one of these lakes, just let me know. Got some decent catfish too
