Milton keynes bans spodding

[TF_inky finger]

just in case anyone is thinking of buying a spodding set up to fish the big match in september on fuzton don’t bother it’s now banned in matches….not happy. guess it’s a big feeder (little difference except one feeds from the surface the other on the deck) or take a brave pill and go to the spidery haven that is my shed and get out a whopper dropper and ivan marks persuader swingtip rod. Now if i don’t catch on it that method may not get banned…but i doubt it somehow.

Ahh the good old Whopper Dropper, 5 hours using one of them and Monday morning everybody at work wants to know who you were fighting with coz of your mullered knuckles lol

[TF_squatt]

It’s just another case of people with little understanding banning something. What are people going to do – use a super large feeder.

FACT – Milton Keynes, have only banned spodding in there matches – this is for MKAA matches only! so this does not include the angling times Final or matches run by other clubs on MK waters.

Any opens on it this year apart from the August Bank Holiday Charity Match?

sad isnt it when grumpy old gits on a commitee are swayed by a few to ban a perfectly good method all because there lazy and wont take up the challenge and beat the kid whos winning ????

how do you rape your knuckles joff lol you meant rapped

You can soon put a pint of caster or micro,s through a large cage rocket feeder.

Sorry i thought spodding banned in matches was across the board. It does seem only the local matchmen have been shafted. If you use a big feeder you have to make more casts and create more disturbance if it lands repeatedly amungst a shoal of bream.

Got in the main frame at Furzton last August,fished a large cage all match beat all the spodders around me.

As a MK angler, I have done very well off Furzton in the past with spodding, the issues comes when people can not cast straight!!, all people will do is and cut the end off the spod add lead = large feeder, it will make no difference at all. In general there are only certain areas of the lake which respond to it.

Dendra, I am presuming that you draw on the side of the lake which isn’t open generally, where the fish sit so no real need to spod. As I am sure you will remember, first, second and three came from three pegs next to each other, one spodding and two fishing worm and caster.

[TF_dendra]

No I cant get near those flyers,drew four pegs to the right of the favoured point on the drawside next to the footbridge,had some space to the right of me before next peg.

If spods are banned, what about one of these? Only need a powerful carp/pike rod, beachcaster and you’ll get whatever you want out..If they ban that, surely catapults are out too..
