Re: Fishing
 

I fish all over the place locally, but tend to stick to a place at Charnock Richard called German Lane that's stacked out with Carp and Tench (the obvious giveaway in my signiture name!!)

I was a member of Hyndburn & Blackburn A.A. up until a few years ago, but gave up membership due to various demands upon my time!!! From what I've heard,they've (H & B A.A.) lost a fair few waters. Anyone on here a member ????

Re: Fishing
 

has anyone fished kearns allens which is better of the two the top or bottom one ?

Re: Fishing
 

Well when I was In Angelsey last month I did a bit of Crabbing off one of the piers!!

At first I thought ' oh yeah great.... not ' but I have got to say, I really enjoyed it and can't wait til next year to go again and do it :D


thats the nearest I think I will get to fishing lol

Re: Fishing
 

I'm going to step away from the keyboard before I get in to trouble :D

Re: Fishing
 

The last time I fished Kearns Allens (which was some 3 years or so ago) the bottom lodge seemed to fish better and was quite popular. Don't know if that's still the case tho!!

Re: Fishing
 

I like to fish at the canal with a friend i live in accrington , so where would be the nearest or best fishing spot for me?

Re: Fishing
 

get a license for anywear but the canal..

Re: Fishing

Re: Fishing

Re: Fishing
 

No problem, next sunday weather permitting, belive me you don't want to fish big rishton on a bad day, the waves are like hills:eek::eek::eek:.

Re: Fishing
 

WHEN i lived in accy the coppice was always a decent place to fish

Re: Fishing
 

not been fishing for a few years now, i caught a about 15-17 haf pound carp up rishton papermill back in 02 think it was not been fishing since then though, wouldnt mind to start going again, forgotten the basics though, how to tie the hook etc :o

Re: Fishing
 

Last time I passed RPM it was a tad low on water sadly.

Re: Fishing
 

Think they may have give up Super Street Nickelson .. haven't seen a fisherman for yonks .. just young teenagers having a go. Would be interested as live on the edge of it. Shame, as I can see lots of those rings on the water that fish make. Heron having a ball anyway.

Re: Fishing
 

Anyone fancy a day on big rishton this thurs? I've heard the water's well down and that makes for great bream fishing...COME ON!!

Re: Fishing
 

Winter slows down fishing means more ducks :(

Re: Fishing
 

Is there anywhere not local but not that far from accrington where you can pay just for one day? And im always on canal fishing i find that maggots dont work for me i just use worms and i catch with them , what does everyone else use? And btw Winfields are selling good fishing gear at the moment :)

Re: Fishing
 

The old Twin Lodges up past callergen (SP) foam, havent been but know its day ticket and supposed to be good.

Is the windfield stuff good tackel or cheap tat.

Re: Fishing
 

Seems like good tackle my friend , just nip in and have a look :D What bate do you use? Anyone?

Re: Fishing
 

Last time I went up is was all chineese imported tat, but thats a while ago...

I'd be suprised if the tackle was by known manufacturers, Diawa,shimino ect.

I use allsorts of baits, but my faves are the good old castors and hemp, ultra reliable for me.:D

Re: Fishing
 

Worms, nice and free.:D

Thats what I thought, you got anything for sale.

Re: Fishing
 

caligen is good , bradshaws is near bolton is always brill, cornfield near padiham/burnley dont know where it is but it is meant to be okay.

Re: Fishing
 

Might have a Shimano powerloop 12" floatrod going cheap bud powerloop tiprod also, give us a bell if you're interested.

Bradshaw is CRAP!, overfished, overpriced and too far to go fishing for a bad day! Every time I go, I promise myself I won't again!:mad::mad:

Re: Fishing
 

guarenteed to catch

want to go cudmores personally if you want a day ticket nothing beats there

Re: Fishing
 

only do sea fishing, lucky to have a boat too, West Bay , Dorset, now there's a venue. Ten species over a weekend and Dolphins putting on a show too. That boat keeps me poor.

Re: Fishing
 

lucky chap

never tried sea fishing sounds fun .

Re: Fishing
 

Like spud says we will have to go fishing. However i use worms , it seems like i can only catch perch with worms and not maggots

Re: Fishing
 

Does anyone know of any private pay for the day fishing sites? I went to one behind accrington college which had carp in and was only £5 for day however was difficult to catch there and was wondering if there was any more sites like this with private spots you can pay to use that are around the area?

Re: Fishing
 

Any of those places free to fish. I went to this pay for the day fishing place behind accrington college near some warehouses looked nice to fish but couldnt catch anything. However i went to the canal yesterday in clayton and pulled out a nice pike there. There seems to be a few in the canal at this time of year and it was a good size aswell :):)

Re: Fishing
 

If you are a beginner, I would leave it till at least march. The falling water temp turns the fish docile and slows down their feeding and movement patterns. If you are really keen to fish my advice is use much finer/lighter tackle(floats, lines) and smaller hooks also usr much less groundbaits/loosefeed.

Best of look, I'm hibernating for the winter!

Re: Fishing
 

Ok thanks very much for advise :) Im not hibernating :) Ill be out there next weekend

Re: Fishing
 

Good luck to ya! ......you'll need it!

No really, keep us informed on how you get on.

Re: Fishing
 

I us,t to fish at arn-side a few year,s ago and it was good fun.

Re: Fishing
 

Will do spud. Hopefully it wont be as cold as last weekend :( and hopefully them pike will be back out again :)

Re: Fishing
 

On the very few occasions I used to accompany my former husband on fishing trips, pike was the 'No, no' to catch. Have I got it wrong ?

Re: Fishing
 

No, you got it very right. They are the the freesh water barracuda, nasty big, sharp toothed critters...:eek:

Re: Fishing
 

I think there a nice fish to catch though spud , you not agree? But why the no no katex? Did he not like the fish or did it break his line or something :S ?

Re: Fishing
 

Not sure FC. think it was maybe didn't fancy getting the hook out of it's mouth.. :eek:

I only used to catch eels I'm afraid, probably because there is no way would I put one of the wriggling maggots on a hook and used bread... just had to cut the line though when you caught one.

Even, as just a mere woman .. lol ... do appreciate the feeling you get when there is that tug on the line .. good, innit it ?

Just watch where you keep your maggots though!!Three times they got on the loose .. once from boot of car, and flies emerging through blowers for ages; then he must have left some whilst we went on holiday.. on return flies all over the bloody front window and bedhead; thirdly, one night they were marching along like a troop of soldiers under living room door. Not pleased at all. :D

Re: Fishing
 

Aye it is a good feeling! :)

Re: Fishing
 

Didnt go this weekend. Very cold indeed :(

Re: Fishing
 

Anyone know the website of the trout fishing place in clitheroe or any other pay for day fishing spots around lancashire which are reasonable price because wanting to go tomorrow. Ty

Re: Fishing
 

Re: Fishing
 

ty very much :)

Re: Fishing
 

Been clitheroe today was quite good , however does anyone know any more fisheries around the area and if they have a website and if they dont does anyone know the price?

Re: Fishing
 

Do you want trout or coarse fishing? Have a look here:fishing or here: www.fishing.co.uk

Re: Fishing
 

bradshaw hall (bolton near jumbles), cornmill (not sure where this is), devine broad oak accrington.

Re: Fishing
 

Is there anywhere local, to do beachcasting???done blackpool . a waste of time.

Re: Fishing
 

re Super Street at Clayton, this is now supposed to have secure parking does anyone know how secure it is and where abouts in relation to the water i.e. is it far to walk.?

Re: Fishing
 

Fishing is OK if you kill what you catch and take it home to eat.

Fishing for SPORT is CRUEL and should be banned.

In fact any so called sport that uses any other living beings other than humans to determine the outcome should be banned.

Re: Fishing
 

Just love how jambutty thinks he's the oracle.
"This should be this way" and "that shouldn't do that at all".
All without considering any evidence or any other opinion. 'Triffic.

You cannot move from an opinionated moral statement to an absolute universal standard (without being a bigot).

Re: Fishing
 

So you appove of boxing where brains get scrambled but pigeon racing is out ?........... :clown: time to go and get your tablets changed

Re: Fishing
 

Most waters ban barbed hooks thus causing less damage.Besides you eat fish that has been caught so your causing that fish more harm then we are.

Re: Fishing
 

I do apologise shakermaker. I wasn’t aware that I wasn’t allowed to have an opinion that differs to others. Learn to debate.

shakermaker is too stupid to think of a counter response to my opinion about fishing so he reverts to insulting me. But then that is par for his coarse. I would remind you shakermaker that it wasn’t me who started with the insults so I will answer you in kind. Get lost you obnoxious creep.

I don’t recall mentioning anything except fishing steeljack.

Oh! I get it! You do not have the intelligence to make your point so you put words in my mouth and add a childish innuendo. How sad! Maybe you should start taking some tablets?

Quote:

But a hook, barbed or otherwise, still causes damage Nickleson and the fish is then placed back to be caught again to be damaged once more.

I would remind you that Nature or God put the animals on this planet as part of a food chain. So killing a fish is a natural activity. Would you deny a bear the right to catch salmon as the fish desperately try to swim upstream to spawn? Catching one on a hook, weighing it, showing it off to all the others and then putting it back to be caught again is downright CRUEL.

Re: Fishing
 

Untwist your long johns and try reading my post properly.

My whole point was that you weren't presenting an opinion. "Learn to debate" you say - how rich. How are you trying to debate at all? You were quite clearly trying to impose your moral views as universal rules; e.g. "Fishing is OK if kill what you catch and take it home to eat" or "Fishing for SPORT is CRUEL and should be banned." or "In fact any so called sport that uses any other living beings other than humans to determine the outcome should be banned."

There's no "my opinion is..." or "it is my view that.." Oh no.
What we are told is "this is this" and "this should be this". This is the Gospel according to jambutty. The Three Commandments for fishing.
Halle-bloody-lujah.

If you want to impose your morals as rules for others then run for Parliament or get a geriatric guerrilla army together, just don't disguise them as innocent opinion.

Re: Fishing
 

I think the sport of 'Pensioner Baiting' should be founded immediately.

Re: Fishing
 

Not having a constructive argument against my view on fishing shakermaker you attempt to pour scorn and ridicule on it by calling them the “Three Commandments For Fishing” and then turn right around and shoot yourself firmly in the foot and accuse me of “disguising them as innocent opinion.”

Now which is it to be? My statements are instructions or opinions.

You are so intent on your tirade that you just chuck down your usual load of rubbish without thought. Talk about making yourself look ridiculous.

yerself – you have your location down as “The edge of reality”. I think that you have crossed the threshold into fantasy. Fancy quoting a post by someone who does not exist.

Re: Fishing
 

At the end of the day thats your opinion and thats mine i fish so i have more knowledge so i wont result to flaming you as you are rightfully entitled to your opionion

Re: Fishing
 

Anyone enjoyed some fishing this summer then?
Went a few times on the old canal, not much luck tbh. Spent a week in France and caught a few carp from 7lb to 19lb. Not been that much good weather in Lancashire either which hasnt pushed me to go. So anyone had more luck then me?

Re: Fishing
 

does anyone know if fishing is allowed on the caligen foam lodge............the lodge ya pass before ya come to the twins?????????

Re: Fishing
 

can anyone tell me if i need to be a member off a fishing club to fish at the three lodges on the coppice at top of plantation street accington. it used to be hyndburn and blackburn but all the signs have come down.

Re: Fishing
 

get yourselves a fly rod and eat what you catch, you can't beat a trout on the bbq

Re: Fishing
 

Yeah it still is Hyndburn and Blackburn as far as Im aware. Your best bet is to go to the angling shop on Abbey St. The chap in there will be more than helpfull.
