Ian,
Just a thought, I have noticed on another fishing discussion forum that they have gatherings from time to time for all the users on the forum to meet and go fishing. Therefore would this be a good idea maybe for RMC to try and organise one for users of this forum to attend as i am sure that a lot of people on this forum would be delighted to put faces to names and also exchange tactics on the bank aswell as on the Net.
Don't know weather this would be a good idea or not, just a thought, does anyone else like the idea?
Cheers

Sounds like a good idea to me. We may all live in similar areas as well unlike when going to a society meeting or the like.

sounds like a pukka idea boys - kingsmead would be cool, but what about darenth.....i've heard its an excellent venue which some cracking fish.lol as andy would say!!
Dan
Yeah, I'm up for that! /images/forum/icons/tongue.gif
All the best,

If the Kingsmead fish meeting comes off, anyone interested in the Bream & Tench or is it a Carpy thing only?
Tony

Hmmmm I like bream fishing. Does anyone know how to go about trying for them in the winter?? Like tackle, line, etc etc??
Maggot feeder has always worked for me in winter. If that don't work redworm & caster. Either on the tip or buzzer, the tip is better to hit the bites though. I use 6lb line & a 4lb hooklink for the bream, 20 - 12 hook but usually a 12. and an avon rod. Just don't go to heavy on the strike and set the drag.

Even in winter Neil? I have never caught an eel in the winter....maybe I aint fished eel rich waters.

Hi Ian.
March is fine, but schools break-up for Easter on the 6th April for two weeks, how about this weekend? but maybee it is too late, or to many people will be away? What dose everyone else think?
By the way what a great site. There are so many ideas and views being put about its doing my head in!
Will.
I'm up for something like that its about time I met you all and I promise I won't argue with anyone./images/forum/icons/smile.gif
Whens it going to be?
Alex.
sounds good with me if it's in the easter hollys
Thanks alot
Sam
Please count me in Ian!
Any weekend would do me but April time would be better for me A) because its my school holiday and B) the fish are on the munch.
Great idea Bovis, Im sure it will be a right laugh. Incidently how long will we be fishing for?
Bovis Great Idea!
Im with Alex, SamR, Yappi and the boy on the date, as some of us have to go to school/College.
Lofte
Sorry to but in here carpy boys and girls, but there is another social/fish-in being orgainsed on the Group Waters board if anyone is interested.
It's a barbel/chub fish-in, but anyone is welcome and carp are present in St. Pats...
Bill.
You can count me in on it!! Any date is fine by me so just keep me posted
Symon
Yeah im in./images/forum/icons/wink.gif
I think Ians right though about the timing of it. Perhaps you regulars who know the water (or live near by) can keep us posted for when they are begining to have a munch.
Paulm /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
Well up for all that, anytime, anyplace,anywhere, and i'll bring the Martini. But can someone say a specific day because I am starting a few new jobs soon and I will have to put some people off!!
Good call Hovis- as we discussed the other nite sounds like a pukka idea,good chance to put faces to names etc plus the actuall social well need i say more eh Bove and Dan
i am defo up for it
what about simos hows about gathering up some of the hitchin blankmasters for a show down ha ha ha.
good to see you on here mate!
they bite nearly as well as anglersnet. lol.

There should be a post from Ian or BillyO tommorow with a voting poll on with dates to choose so keep your eye out.
Cheers

I think the mead needs a bigger car park, or maybe a bigger lake /images/forum/icons/laugh.gif
Tony
Looking forward to it already.
I know it sounds a bit stupid, Ian but can you just say something on here to prove that it is safe for me to do the weekend there because my Mum is always a bit careful when I go night fishing.
Also Im having trouble working this site, every time I go onto the angling lines it says this program has performed an illegal operation and to close it.
Ps Mr Shelley, I cant wait to meet you there so I can show you how its done!!!
PPS only joking!!

I think we will all learn. Perhaps we can pursaude some of you match anglers to come along, as im sure we could learn from you aswell.
Also like Billy said above there is another fish in being arranged on st pats, perhaps some of you carp lads would like to come along? I've learnt a hell of a lot so far this winter from them, when i've been Barbel fishing and im sure this will help my stalking in the summer for carp.
Paulm /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
I know it has probably already been asked but where is going to be held at.
Alex.
You will probably see me creeping around in the bushes mate, if you see me at all /images/forum/icons/smile.gif

Great! I dunno about you learning off me though, maybe I'll teach about how it all goes wrong! No seriousely Im not that bad.... I hope!
This social thing keeps sounding better and better!
If you mean the first one- the one Bovis originally suggested, then Ian decided it will be on kinsmead1.
Nice one Ian and Bovis!

Depending on when it is and my funds (its a good treck from Derbyshire), I would love to make it too chaps, got the FW fish-in at 3 Lakes at the end of April though. I think you suggested May Ian, now that would be good, they'll be feeding there wotsits off then, best time of the year along with Sept/Oct/Nov.
Hope I can make it.
Neil
you know me, i will be about whatever date. on standby for photographs and venue advice. i wonder how many ticket numbers i can collect!
we will keep the work parties away from any dates suggested.

If it 7/8 April I'll be anti social and go Bream fishing.
7/8 is good for me.
Paulm /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
Looks like you are with me then Neil, want to double up on the groundbait mate?
Tony
is every one going bream fishing or is it because you and Tony don't want to blank /images/forum/icons/smile.gif
Alex.
I might throw a bream rod out myself I don't want to go home as the only one to blank I probably won't even get a roach let alone a carp.
Rivercarper
31-01-2001, 19:32
It's not that I don't want to blank Alex but I get little enough time to fish for bream so thats what I want to do.I fished the mead three times last close season and blanked twice.One bite from an 11lb 6oz Bream.Saw loads of carp including a couple of real belters.
sounds like a nice result I'll get loads of bream this weekend because I'm going to Old Bury Hill I allways get loads of them every one else get carp in there swims but not me one day in the summer a few years back me and my dad took over 185lb of bream on the method.
Keep catching.
Alex.

Happy honica comes from an old acquaintance of mine. He pronounced his 'm's as h!! Trouble was his girlfriend at the time was called Monica and he used to say 'Happy Honica?' instead of 'Happy Monica?' when enquiring about her well being! It's an old joke that just stuck. When ever anything good happens we say it, just to take the [censored word]! Trouble his messed up head can't round that fact and he doesn't understand it's a wind-up. Only funny if you know the bloke I suppose.

What about those of us that don't have a ticket for Kingsmead, are we still allowed to attend ?
Thanks,

I'm gonna float fish it mate..... 2 or 3 rodlengths out during the day and the margins at night.
Tony
Hi Tony have you or anyone else for that matter fished the lake before?
What about rod limits, I take it with so many people attending that it will be 2 rods per person? Hopefully a better chance of us all catching with not so many lines in the water!!
Symon
If you read the post on the 1st or 2nd page I think you will find Ian has said £10.00 for non members for the weekend, Bargain!!!
Cheers
Bovis
i will re-stress this very good point. one *must* be in the margins!
one minute of plumbing the marginal areas will tell you why. most fish caught are from the edge.
other than that advice, bung it in the wet bit!!!
**sam**
I like the sound of that rule but I will probably stick to two and have a surface rod set up just in case.
Alex.
That sounds like a pretty good idea. Does anyone know if many fish have been caught on the surface in the mead or are they quite shy on the top.
I really havent the foggiest about what the lake is like. Do any of us have a chance of catching or are we just there to take Jim's phots? Seriousely though is kingsmead a nut cracker or is it possible we might get one or even two takes if we are lucky?
Any other advise anyone on going swims, tactics etc? Although the main reason Im there is to have a bit of a social I still wouldnt mind catching something.
THREE RODS? I have only got one /images/forum/icons/smile.gif I am a one rod man........
Tony
Great! Im looking forward to it. I dont know about fishing on top yet as it might be a bit early in the year for that especially with the weather as bad as it is, still april is still a while away.
Whats the bottom like there? I heard it is quite weedy.
Is stalking a good tactic there?
Has the event been confirmed yet or is it still being considered and how many people have said they are going so far. I know one of my mates wants to come too. He used to use this site regularly but recently his phone line has gone all mash up so he doesnt have access to the web anymore.
Will he be able to come?
Rivercarper

Seroiusly though, I reckon a draw wold be fair

So far then 27 people have voted on the date and Kingsmead has about 30 swims, it's getting close, are there any swims where those who want to might be able to double up? It might help a bit.

Regarding the social I was wondering if it would be possible if we could have a look around the venue for people like myself who dont have a clue what to expect. So that we can find features and trickle in some bait before this by the sounds of and im sure it will be amazing event?
Lofte
jumpseat
05-02-2001, 19:38
If I could be so bold as to maybe make a suggestion. As I mentioned back on about page three we are going to require more space. Almost too much interest!!!
Perhaps what we should do is pair off the younger guys with someone with a bit more experience. I don't mean as in they don't know what there doing, but in that it will make more room. Also they will be able to satisfy any worried parents that they are with a (and I use this term very, very lightly) responsible adult at all times. The young'uns will probably fish the old boys off the place anyway. But I know that if when I was 14,15,16 or whatever and I had had the oppurtunity to fish with some of the anglers that are going to be present I would have jumped at it. Let alone sharing a swim and there for tea, tackle, ideas etc........blimey.
So lets find out how many under 18's are coming and ask them to very nicely enquire to the rest of us slighty older chaps about doubling up. Try and organise it before the day arrives if you see what I mean.
Come on chaps lets put something back in the sport that has given us all so much pleasure.
Waiting for a slagging!!
Yours

I think this is a brilliant idea

Likewise if any of you young'uns want to show me how its done just send me a private e-mail and then we can discuss our tactics, bait, etc....and get all organised for our assault on Kingsmead well before hand!! Maybe even do a short over night session somewhere before hand at one of my waters (secret one maybe stuffed full of Leney's). Then if you catch more than me on that occasion I can drown you and pick a new partner!!! /images/forum/icons/laugh.gif

Good idea Jumpseat, same goes for me, it'll be nice to be putting something bak into our beloved sport.
Great idea jumpsead
I'm 15 so does anyone want to pair up with me?
Cheers

Well I like the idea but I'm not one for swim sharing I'm afraid because my bivvy is massive so it takes a lot of space in my swim and I like to keep things nice and tidy in my swim I don't want to trip over some one else's gear in the middle of the night and I like to keep things quite in both keeping secrets and the noise level but if I really have to I will because I don't to miss this one.
Alex.
PS.every one please take count to what I said about noise because I like peoeple to be quite when I'm surface fishing and try and avoid my swim its not that I want to be isolated but I just like to concentrate. /images/forum/icons/smile.gif
Big bivvies are'nt a problem. Share it with someone.
But only if they promise top take their boots off before the go in.
<<<lol>>>
/images/forum/icons/wink.gif
Sounds like a good idea put me down. I think Jim has already offered me to fish with him (I think) so it looks like Im sorted if its ok with you Jim?
Rivercarper
06-02-2001, 19:02
I'll look after you young Samr and we'll pull a stroke and have the Helipad or the point of the Dog Kennel bank.Plenty of room for the two of us.
I think I mentioned this before but a mate of mine who uses this site but is temporarily unable to use the internet (he was called alex p if anyone remembers) also wants to come but he cant use the internet to tell you. Is it ok Ian or Bovis if you count him in too please?
Sorry SAMR I was offline for a while.
I really don't mind who I share with at all.
Hey, Rivercarper has said he will share with you, I wish I had the opportunity when iwas 15 to fish with the likes of Rivercarper and Jim Shelley you lucky sods.
Rivercarper
06-02-2001, 19:51
Crispy when I was Sams age I was helped out by the likes of Ron Buss,Andy Little,Bob Merrit and John Brough.I'm very lucky that I'm still friends with three of them.Haven't seen John for nearly twenty years.But a bit of encouragement at that aged can't do any harm.
On second thoughts they might turn out like me.
I think it's fantastic that yourself and the likes of Mr Shelley are willing to help these lads.
I used to work in a big tackle shop from the age of 13 to about 17, I even ran the carp counter for a couple of years.
I met all the greats from the match legends to carp legends and I mean legends.
It gave me something to aspire to in my angling career, I have the utmost respect for pioneering anglers like yourself who are willing to share their secrets (well some of them anyway) and give time to the youngger angler.
Long live the self appreciation society!

Alex, this is a fish in & a social thing, I suggest if you want absolute peace and quiet when fishing go somewhere on your own mate.... or worry about the concentration more so when you are alone. There is obviously going to be a bit of noise as such as we have not met each other yet etc. As for the swim sharing thing........ buy a smaller Bivvy

Alex - you may be a dedicated speciman hunter, but this fish-in is really more about geting to know people you talk to on the forum... as well as having some fun by catching fish !
Reconsider if your serious...
ATB,
Bill.
Thanks Ian, it just gets better and better. Hope we have a laugh and catch some fish your fishing Buddy

Hi Yappi
I'm sure Jim will be more than happy to confirm that youl'll be his partner for this mega event. Tell your mate Alex P that he will be welcome. He will have to pay the nominal charge for the weekend if he is not an RMC member. At present I'm not a member. I'm sure Ian will confirm that this is OK!! If it is, tell your mate Alex he can fish with me. Let me know, but wait for Ian to give the thumbs up first.
Cheers

Well if its about getting to know people I think I should double up with Tony maybe we could teach each other a thing or two.
I am there for some fun as well you know remember I am a young and if I'm doubling with somone then its going to have to be an all out party in my swim.

Looks like you have started something now Boss mind you I wouldn't put too much money on Cash catching anything.Everyone be warned that Mr Welch is already planning to rig the draw for swims and is getting his swim prebaited.Talk about blatant cheating.
Since Ian has started something I think I better join in and show you all who the best angler is (me of course!!!)
remeber I did win the fish-in at horseshoe with a top weight of 155lb 8oz.
Alex.
PS. if any one wants to double with me let me know and we will show all the others.

however at the least il try and pop down for a cuppa,
during the day,.of course!
sounds like fun,
this is some thread,..good one

Don't forget lads, Ian needs all the aces he can musta. When was the last time you angled for a carp then Boss. I bet you've still got split canes. (He, He, He)
He'll out fish us if the mead holds any stillwater Barbel!!!!!
Cash
(I'm in right trouble now!)
Your a fine one to talk big boy!
What was that post of yours "I give up".
I'm proud of my serial blanking, but when i do catch.......there usually doubles!
Looks like i need to whoop youe [censored word] when we angle the parlour then, you taking bets?
Cash
(Doh!, why do i keep saying these things)
Sir Jim,
Can you and Yappi fish the island side then, to give the rest of us a chance! (He, He)
I know lets all get Jim so drunk, all weekend that he's unable to cast in a straight line!

Sorry to say Cash I'm finished with the Royalty as far as carp fishing goes.I'm not going to drive 130 miles and have the guy who rents the house on watersmeet come down his garden a throw a load of bait right over where I'm fishing.It's hard enough in winter with out all that going on.The carp are being fed up before we go so no point in doing all that driving.
jimshelley

sorry but ive got to be a good boy ?.christ iam on the the island then,so i can shoot at you lot ."EXCELLENT"only joking i think .

keeping it british,"E.C.H.O.".
Looks like I'm on me own then, if anyone wants to double up let me know?
Ian, what time do we get there and when do we leave?
I'm off school "ill" today so I'll be on this thing all day!
Keep it Real
i'll double up with you crispy.thats if there room on the lake for one more .Where about in herts do you come from as i live in st albans anywhere close to you.
looks like a few people are interested. good luck to all of you. not sure if i will fish, the pressure will make all the carp swim up the stream to wraysbury 2!! for those that havent fished, or seen the water, good luck!! you aint seen nothing yet!
im sure a few will be out, over the past few years i have heard it all. most anglers give it the biggun for a couple of months, catch one or two fish then lose heart when it gets tough.
this will be a good experiment to see how it responds to a lot of bait and a lot of lines. most of the time we backlead, cos the fish dont like line. big beds of bait may work after a few days on the spot. i havent bagged over heaps of bait though. pva bags and stringers do most of the damage. on the right spot of course!
the weed shouldnt be a problem. unlike local pikey kids. be warned, there are hundreds of them!
fish well and some of you will catch. enjoy yourselves and kiddies, dont fall in! dogs on leads and no fireworks after 11pm. none of that white cider appleade stuff either. unless its with special brew!
so who wants some insider information on the venue then?
you do? good, talk to bazza!!
**sam**
Hi everyone it's good to be back online,Ian could you please put my name down for this social.
Jumpseat, Yappi told me about your offer, thanks very much i'l be happy to double up with you.
If its alright with you would it be ok if we fished close to Yappi (i.e 1 or 2 swims away) because our parents want us to stay close to each other. Would that be alright with you Ian aswell.
Keep it real Alex

jim, the lightning appltize, his entourage and bait? as they said in jaws, i think we'll need a bigger boat!
queen mother reservoir is down the road, loads of boats there.
big side? you lot definately havent seen kingsmead! as for driving round, you need an amphibious vehicle at the moment. one that gets over ditches and fences. pikeys cant let caterpillar tracks down, but they'll nick them if they are alloy ones!
**sam**
Jim mate, I think youve got the wrong alex. I was talking to Alex P not the other Alex. I see Alex P virtually every weekend (unfortunately!).
Anyway, me and the other alex have sorted out our disagreements anyway and theres no reason why I wont meet him, shake his hand or whatever, thats wat a socials all about.
Sam, your starting to really put me off with all this talk of pikies! I think i'll have to booby trap my swim in the night to make sure that when I wake up the only odd thing I find is some little jippo hanging from the branch of a tree from his legs and a rope! Actually Im on the Island so Ive got nothing to worry about ha ha!
Ps Jimdont bring any of them eels near me!
No pikeys are going to come with in ten foot of my bivvy if they do I'll have a nice .22 rifle under my bed.
(only joking)
besides I know plenty of "travelers" so I wont get any trouble.

i haven't got a clue...!!! /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
definitely 77 fishers green stockies put in a couple of months back between 8-13lb with sixty of those above 10lb.
other than that it is difficult to put a number on due to the escapees last year. having said that, alan welch alone returned sixty odd fish to mead 1 from the big side.
if i had to put a number, i would guess a couple of hundred of the original stockings plus the latest 77.
oh yeah, and the dozen originals...
Hi ya Guys how are we?
Ive just had an idea for the kingsmead social, how about some prizes for the best fish caught if any are caught that is! maybe everyone that is fishing can put a fiver into a kitty and the winner takes it all to spend on a new item of tackle! what do you think to the idea?
Im sure there are some companys out there that would donate some prizes?

I'm sure Jim's got enough tackle!
(only joking)
Sam
Good idea Lofte, maybe the prize could be a weekend at lac du D*r*n*h?
If that means what I think it does I think thats a bit out of order.
Alex.
That then becomes a match doesn't it? I thought it was just a social. I don't think we need competition, maybe every angler puts in a fiver to go towards Stoney's charity instead?
Tony
I think that is the best idea so far that way it takes the compation out of things.
Alex.
Thats a good idea but i thinks its nice to have some competativeness in you at such events not as to ignore others and to get on with your own thing but to make it more fun.
im all up for donatting some money to charity. but at my age any item of tackle you can get free which you otherwise wouldnt have been able to afford sounds brilliant

You youngsters seem to have far to much pocket money these days and you want prizes as well.
I suppose a competition will take the fun out a bit because everybody will be concentrating on catching instead of just enjoying the company. I know, what about a prize for blanking? Just a thought !
Lofte, im very shocked by your comment on smuggling a pint or 2 and I don't even think you should be going with that attitude!
You should be thinking more in the region of a gallon or 2!!

HI lofte
hope you got the private message.
r u doubling up with anyone on k1 , i am still in the single stakes.
I have yet to have these any of these carp out but as it it my first season on the lake i dont expect anything just yet, all comes to those who wait but i have seen them of the bridge. I saw one fish last year it was well into the thrity bracket , it was very light in colour but covered in protective slim it looked like it had a blue haze around it where it had not been handled for years. , it was with a group of six other fish but they only look up to the mid twenty mark this fish was far greater . the bloke that i fish with has seen large commons , he missed one on a floater, the line had driffeted in the breeze so he struck into slack line what a fool.in five years time this lake is going to hold some very nice fish. How big is the largest orginal mirror the common goes to thirty but no one wants to say.
Keep it british

SORRY if i missed the point when we said it was a competion, but i DONT remember anyone saying it is. So why do you keep going on about it. ( YES we all know you won the horseshoe fish-in as well so there is no need to bring this up again to).
This message was meant know harm to Alex, but i feel the need to tell him that this was a JOKE. So know offence should be taken.

If swims are going to be drawn what happens to those fishing there from Thursday onwards? Maybe we ought to get things sorted out about the draw and have a draw before the day maybe on the forum?
Tony
Ian, is it just the Kingsmead mambers who are going on the Thursday or can any of us go?
Uncle Jimothy, are you going on thursday?

did alex win the fish in at horseshoe???
cheers mate i didn't know that!!! lol.
Dan
p.s. alex- sorry mate couldn't resist./images/forum/icons/smile.gif no offence intended,you are proud of your win and rightly so.
see you at the social.(with my crash helmet on...)
scorpio,
do you think that drawing for swims is a good idea? i think it is the fairest way considering the number of people in attendance. most are new to the lake, so this shouldn't make much difference to peoples fishing. there will be enough regulars wandering the banks to give advice about swims should anyone want it...
given that the lake is being closed for the weekend, i would have thought if anyone is down on the thursday (or before) they should be treated as a normal punter, and asked to pack up in preparation for the weekend. they then take part in the draw along with everyone else, and set up in their drawn swim.
this eliminates any advantages those familiar with the lake would have over those more unfamiliar. it also dissipates any friction which may be there, from a competitive perspective (it will happen)...
this *should* be a social first, and fishing second, regardless of the names participating.
bazza
To be honest Baz I think the lake should be pegged out and the swims drawn prior to the Saturday... the only problem I can see with that is people not turning up..... I suppose as well the method you suggest will be good at getting peoples names to faces etc.... If there are any crap carp swims but they are good for the bream I will have it mate /images/forum/icons/smile.gif
Tony
Can someone draw up a list of who's with who, times etc to make it official like, then so we all know where we are?
Crispy,
I did private mail Ian about this a couple of days ago & I think he is putting something together.
Cheers
James
