  1. Went out last night and fished the flooding tide, Caught three fish, all codling, all on blacks..Wind still easterley up here so really suprised me to do so well. Biggest was around the three pound mark. They are predicting a good year for the cod, so I will wait and see, B)

  2. Anyone ever had permission to Ferret etc on National trust land? We have a lot here in Cumbria that hold a good population of Rabbits on them, A bloke that I used to go digging with managed to get written Permission to lamp and shoot from the trust but it was just for one year.(10 years ago at least)

     

    Anyone any advice?

  3. I will try to put one on but I don,t have the facilities to do so, I will have to ask very kindly the big red fox if he can do it! :thumbs: I hate asking people for favours but he has been very patient in the past with me.(Crawling Wretch that I am!)

  4. Hello, I have decided to sell my Air-arms s410 carbine Multishot,2.2. It is fitted with "Hawke" Nite-eye Scope(3-9x50IR) With illuminated mil-Dot, Also comes with silencer fitted and has a pump with it too. I paid £780 for it, Will accept £450. The gun has been used four times.

  5. Thanks for the replies, Healing again well and look as energetic as a pair of Pups!

    Yes Lakelands are a hardy Dog and some fear nothing. I like a dog not too hard and with plenty of brains, She is a wee bit too hard at times for my liking! :thumbs:

  6. They say It every year! But I guess it will happen some time, Haven,t had any significant snow fall in this part of Cumbria for years, Plenty in the lakes but not here and I am only 20 minutes away. This is a great start to October, It was 20 degrees here yesterday! :thumbs:

  7. Just got back from a spot of ferreting. A beautiful day, Really calm. Took one polecat, 10 hemp nets and did a few smallish warrens. Bolted two into the nets, but lost a few when I decided to have a go at a larger spot of about 15 holes. Two or three bolted out of the unnetted holes, But never mind, At least I was out in the fresh air. Noticed a lot of young about though and with this sort of weather I can see them being around for a few weeks yet.

  8. Yes I agree, The freshwater rod would be ok for light estuary work, maybe for flatfish etc. But too lightweight for general beach casting. Most of the mags advertise beach fishing outfits for as little as £40-£50 for the lot, Worth it if you fish evey now and then.

     

    Yes the Cod are not around in the same size or numbers as they used to be but what do we expect? when they are hoovered up by trawlers and the one man netting brigade :lol: I still have had some pretty good fish off the beach, 10-11 pounders with 5-6 pounders regular catches in some spots, But a lot of codling 2-3 pound range.

  9. No I mainly shore fish but I also fish for Cod over rough ground from my Boat, I use rubber shads just off the bottom, moving with the tide. They work really well and have had some decent fish using this method in the past. I enjoy shore fishing though and have some cracking sport over the winter period with Cod and coalfish, Whiting and Flounders being the main species caught. I feed some of the flatfish to my ferrets and they look well off them. Going pumping black lug tonight so I can freeze them for the next few months. :lol:
