Fishing in Hillsborough Park

[QUICKSAVE 10]

I once caught a dolphin. No really....

If there is this dangerous algae in the pond, surely eating the caught fish would be dangerous?

You should not eat dead fish anyway!

It's kinda hard to eat live ones - they die quite soon after starting....

 

Anyway....

I've fished there many times (not in the last year) and have caught plenty of roach, a few perch and a few tench (one that was 4 - 5lb easy!). Seen but never caught the carp.

 

P.S. You're meant to put the fish back, not take them and eat them!

I was really hungry!

I ask a simple question the truth is all i wish, are all fishermen fibbers, or do all the fibbers fish??

My Husband wants to ask what bait is best used there?

[matsalleh 10]

I pole fish usually,loose feed hemp,hook bait is tares.Maggot,sweet corn,bread anything really.

[QUICKSAVE 10]

Mainly dead things. Fried eggs are the best!

Crumbs nighthawk- that's a real nice Orfe, it would cost a few bob to buy one of that size for your garden pond:o:o
