Silicone rubber

feeds@yuku.com (Maurice Johnson) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:02:56 GMT

Hi Guys,

I've found a source of cheap silicone rubber tubing but it depends on buying sufficient quantity. This is top grade stuff with 1mm wall
thickness in two sizes, 2mm and 2.5mm inside diameters. Prices would be £1.50 and £1.55 per metre repectively if I order enough.
I don't have to order miles of it to get those prices but more than I wan't to keep for myself. Those prices are a fraction of the rip-off
prices tackle shops charge. If a few of you...

Would everybody please review the CCG List of Catfish Waters and the CCG Venue Records from the last Whiskers and let me have any additions/deletions or record updates.I am particularly keen to hear about new waters and records that haven't previously been included.

Replies can be posted here or emailed to me direct at keith@megamog.com

Thanks.

The swivel saga continues

feeds@yuku.com (Maurice Johnson) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:10:31 GMT

In my quest to find some decent and reliable swivels I thought I'd try some ball bearing swivels. After all they are supposed
to be more efficient under load than normal swivels aren't they? That's what the manufactures tell us. So I bought 10 Berkley
ball bearing swivels rated at 125lbs breaking strain. Firstly I had to return 3 of them immediately because they wouldn't swivel !!
One of them even had heavy corrosion visible around the joint. So that's...

hello all,

i understand most people on this site dont do any sea fishing but there is a Parliamentary vote on Monday which needs the support of all anglers.

it is hoped to add an issue to give the MP's a way out of having to make, what they feel are tough decisions, to declare areas nature reserves and protect wildlife!

obviously that decision would conflict with their "behind the scenes business...

Somebody please explain??

Hi Guys, It's that time of year again!

I'm guessing that most of you have packed the cat rods away now - i'm not far off it myself. Time to start thinking about contributing to the new magazine. The next issue is going to be a special 25 year Anniversary Edition so we are looking for a bumper selection of fascinating new articles, photos, letters etc. This is where YOU come in!

A full guide to contributing and writing something for the magazine can be found in...

Late Cat

Just thought that I`d mention for the benefit of anyone interested that a 56lb Cat came out of Chigborough this morning so it appears that the odd one can still be picked up even this late in the season.

Up for auction

feeds@yuku.com (Maurice Johnson) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:20:04 GMT

Up for auction is one packet of Korda swivels, (full packet minus two). Starting price 1p.

A problem with Korda

feeds@yuku.com (Maurice Johnson) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:19:04 GMT

I recently bought a packet of Korda size 8 swivels. It's stated on the packet quite clearly "tested to over 70lbs". A few days later I wanted to test some 25lb line. I pulled two of the Korda swivels out of the packet and tied one each end of the line to be tested. As I was gradually adding weight, suddenly the suspended tub hit the floor. When I looked, I couldn't believe what I was...

hello all,

in these times of fish theft via rod & line, nets and longlines, cormorant problems, water abstraction, industrial and agricultural pollution, commercial overfishing, , catch limits, anglings bad publicity, the poor eels plight and numerous other issues affecting our beloved sport it seems to me that the next 5 years is going to be an important time for angling in the uk whether that be sea, coarse or game fishing.

Moon Phases

Hi Guys. New to the forum. Probably a very old chestnut but what's the thinking about moon phases and the effect on cat activity ?

Crackers fishin....

feeds@yuku.com (Margin Man) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 19:29:45 GMT

Right.. where do I start..... the little old lady or the cats.
Cats first- nothing caught till the last morning (today) we thought we had blown it but at 9am they came on the munch. Laurence Arnold had the first from the norfolk reed , a very fat 63lb fish which pood all over him (pellet poo), I followed up an hour later with a hard fighting 48.8lb from the copse on livo. All rods back out quick but that was it- just the two!
A full house , everyone turned up
The other thing...
