Apart from Carp

[scorpio]

Are there any RMC syndicates aimed at the non-carp fisherman? Or is this a non-profit idea?

I don't think there are any Tony.Non carp syndicates are very rare these days apart from the southern chalk streams.The nearest RMC have is the Boat Pool which is fished heavily by the Cat Anglers but there are other big specimens present.

Mmmm... shame that as a lot of the normal species seem to be removed to make way for carp. I will have to wait for the Copse to mature and open

Hi,

When is the copse reopening?

James

[scorpio]

When all the improvements have been done... I think Ian was quoting arount the summer of 2003

Tony

[james]

Hi,

What is going in there?

James

[scorpio]

It's going to be a first class pleasure fishery... have a look on the special venues board there was a lot on there unless it has timed out.

Tony

[james]

Hi,

So there is not going to be any carp?

James

[Rivercarper]

I doubt it James there are enough carp on Yateley as it is.

[james]

Hi,

Its a good idea as all the other lakes have carp in.

tony , other fish don't give way to carp syindicates waters the waters are made syndicate for every one to fish for there chosen fish , wrasbury 1 held the record tench , still has big tench so does kingsmead island and the cray fish pool had a massive tench 13+ , ive been told of tench in wrasbury 1 that look close to 20+ , then theres the bream kingsmead holds some massive bream 13+ i belive and what about wrasbury 1 , how about pike kingsmead used to be a top pike water don't see many fishing for them now , there are plenty of specimens to go for in syndicate waters which gives you limited numbers fishing thoses lakes .

[scorpio]

I do understand what you are saying but would someone fishing for these alternative species fit in with the rest of the anglers on the syndicate? As we know syndicate waters are predominantly carp orientated and would such anglers relish an angler hiding in the trees on the opposite bank fishing for tench with a float rod?

Tony

[Rivercarper]

Of course we would tony we could use you as a marker to throw 4oz leads at and then bombard you with boilies.

It wouldn't be the first time Neil mate... /images/forum/icons/smile.gif I had all that when i used to fish Sutton 2.

tony i fish the cray which is a syndicate if there was 2-4 people fishing for tench i would be pleased , that would mean 2-4 members out of 15 not carp fishing , im hoping to fish the boat pool if there is 20 cat boys and 10 carpers that means ive got a better chance of catching ,i hope , as a bailif ive pointed out to bream fisherman where ive seen bream showing on kingsmead , why not it would make me happy if the catch a pb or a big fish , maybe im in the minority ive no right to fish a water any more than the tench or speciem boys have or your self , live and let live is what i say

[scorpio]

To be honest I think you are in the majority with regards to information given ad predominant carp waters as the carp fishermen are not worried about giving out info on Bream & other species... I have in general been helped a lot in the past by carpers except at Sutton 2
