FishingMagic Social Fish-in

[Dave Smith]

Pikey the park is split either side of the M42, west of the M42 are the "specimen pools" (the same side as the camp site). these waters will be closed at the time of the fish in as they still observe a closed season (of sorts.

To the East of the M42 is the main park, where all the day ticket waters are. Pine is all carp so even if it was available it probably wouldn't be the best venue for a "All species fish in" any way.

which leaves Causeway, Swann, Mill and Bodymoor.

Causeway is too small at about 2 acres and maybe a dozen swims.

which leaves Swann, Mill and Bodymoor.

Mark has much more experiance than I, has he's been fishing there for 15 odd years to my one. but I thought the idea would be to all fish the same pool as it's a social?

not easy waters but some suberb fishing if you can get it right!

 

[trev matthews]

I will be up there a few times before June to do a recce.

Thanks Dave, I've seen the map of the site just never visited it.

The main idea for this one was to get people together more for the social side of things, barbeques, a few drinks etc...

Of course we will be fishing during the day but with there being no night fishing people have no choice but to mingle.

:O)

Anyhow I'm off to Dublin for the weekend now but I'm creating an advert for this for the home-page and I'll submit it next week to gather more interest (hopefully).

 

[ken Cartlidge]

Not been on a fish-in before but may come for a day or two, kingsbury is only half hour away. Will know for definite in march.

 

[Steve Spiller]

Looks like I've sorted it!

Haha Game on!

 

[Steaker de Lurker]

Good ol' boy!!

 

[Paul H]

Good show.

 

[Steve Spiller]

How was the Guiness?

 

[Paul H]

The Guinness flowed freely and it was good.

Bl@@dy windy over there though, I had no choice but to shelter in pubs.

:O)

You can buy a Guinness poster that says 'The leprechauns made me drink it'.

 

[Steve Spiller]

Come on Paul we need to get this on the "Home Page"!

I'm bringing the missus and kids, and they all want to learn to fish. If the weather is kind to us it will be awesome.

 

[Paul H]

Ha ha, you took my advice then.

Home page ad is nearly ready, I just never seem to be at home to finish it off.

Most of my postings are done from work nowadays.

I will submit it this week though, promise.

 

[Cider Bob71~PAC~]

I will begin the long and slowp rocess of working on the missus.

Its quite a long way away so im very hopeful.

 

[Cider Bob71~PAC~]

Good god.I asked the question and she said yes.
Ill bring my whole posse.

 

[Evan]

I would certainly like to attend, funds and time permitting..... and if I can come then I might be able to persuade Matt C to come along too.... outline planning permission only tho, so don't count on my presence until the fat lady has started to take out her music....

 

[Steaker de Lurker]

I wondered where this thread had got to ............

 

[wooden spooner]

So whos coming then, pikey try and pull em together.

 

[tubs]

I am going to say yes on behalf of me, my missus and my best mate and his missus! Cant wait!

 

[Paul H]

By the end of this weekend I will have counted the current interest, submitted the home page advert with full booking information and booked my camping pitch.

There's no turning back now.
