all on fake sweetcorn.
I'm quite getting into the faked baits. I've stopped buying boilie stops now and just add a sweetcorn after the boilie, adds colour and holds the bait on much better than the stops do. Have only had one come off so far so it's pretty effective.

oh i see everyones copying me with the fake corn now! lol
tight lines all!!!![]()
There's a lot of theiving going on at the moment. I checked online a few weeks ago and saw that many of the lakes in Surrey, london and Kent are now targetted by kids and Gypsy's for easy theiving.
Common tactics include.
Robbing directly from cars in unprotected car parks.
Waiting for fishers to sleep or shit then robbing their swims.
Directly rushing the swim while the fisher is fighting a fish.
Chatting for a minute and then grabbing stuff and running.
The key seems to be to either fish in pairs, fish only on secure sites or demand the balliffs run regular patrols and have a proper guarantee of site safety.
Fronting them out resulted in an air pistol being pulled on an angler so i would not recommend this.
For that reason i am now only fishing private, secured lakes and wont fish day fisheries in my area. 2 people i fish with have had stuff robbed ( both overnight while they slept in the bivvies ) and the problem is only getting worse. Local police are as interested as you would expect.
Call the balliff and have him push your mate to the swim. If he complains explain that until they can secure their perimeter you refuse to leave your kit unattended. They wouldn't dare refuse a disabled angler, the stink that would cause is not worth it to them. Many also have quads which can take your kit for you while you push your mate too.
Insurance is handy but it doesn't cover the cost of all the nick nacks you pick up along the way and doesn't cover tried and tested kit that cant be replaced. If my kit was stolen i'd miss the simplest of things.
Sick Dogboy, I bet some awesome smoking spots too.. Can you spearfish in those lakes? That is a blast..literally, I've seen people kill 2 or 3 in one shot they're so thick in some lakes..
Oh yeah. Beautifully quiet lakes, balliff phoned out of the blue the other day and he's really nice. He's very flexible and happy to help with useful info. He even gave me the address of a hidden tench lake that is still underfished. I cant wait to go, i've already picked the swims i want and they are nicely sheltered so would make great spots. God bless google earth.
