Borrowing DVDs
The Club's
DVDs are available for loan to club members and friends of the club.
Up to three
Titles at a time may be borrowed for up to two weeks free of charge. All
that is required is a $5 per DVD security deposit.
If you are
interested in borrowing any of the Club's DVDs, please feel free so
contact Pat
in order to arrange a pick up.
Caution:
Most DVDs owned by the club are in the European PAL format, so do not
typically play on standard American (NTSC) DVD players. This topic is
discussed, and solutions offered, below:
About DVD Format
There are two
solutions that solve the PAL - NTSC format issue with regards to DVDs
originating from Europe:
The DVDs may
be viewed on a computer equipped with a DVD drive and appropriate viewing
software. One of the best software packages available is PowerDVD, which is
available free of charge as a
trial version or for less that $10 for the
actual software title itself.
If you do not
have access to a computer with a DVD drive, an alternate option is to
purchase a region free DVD player with built in PAL - NTSC converter, or a
stand alone PAL - NTSC converter. These
items are available on-line, with one of the better companies being
International Electronics, based in Elk Grove, IL. I personally own
a modified JVC model DVD player supplied from this company and have experienced no problems
with it.

Electronics?

Welcome to The Video Vault
Welcome
to the Video Vault! The JJCAC owns a varied collection of both
educational and entertainment based fishing DVDs, most of which are
bank fishing oriented titles imported directly from the United Kingdom.
The
Club's DVD collection, described in detail below,
features a carefully selected range of materials that, in turn, closely mirror the
styles and techniques employed by bank anglers throughout the USA.
Thus, the material covered within these resources make for an absolute
'goldmine' of information for anglers wishing to improve their skills.
The
JJCAC's DVDs are available to loan to club members and friends of the
club (see left side bar), while Club sponsored 'Movie Nights', held
during the winter months, feature the showing and discussion of the more
popular titles. Details on Show times (Jan - March) can be found at the
calendar page.
The
following Titles are currently owned by the JJCAC:

'The
Method' (a modified sinker approach) is simply the most easily learned
and most effective technique for catching larger bottom feeders such as
catfish, carp and drum.
In his Guide to Method Fishing, four time world bankfishing
champion Bob Nudd demonstrates how the 'Method' is used - while catching
a massive ~ 80 pound weight of carp from a retention pond in just a few
short hours! A must see for cat and carp anglers. |

In this more detailed (than
the above) Title, England International Dave Harrell demonstrates how
different types of swimfeeders (modified sinkers), including the 'method
feeder', may be used to catch large bags of bottom feeding species.
Swimfeeder Fishing for Carp should probably be viewed after Bob Nudd's
Guide to Method
Feeder Fishing, as it features slightly more advanced material. |

The Whip, referred
to as a crappie pole this side of the 'pond', is simply a cane,
glass fiber or carbon fiber pole of between 10 and 20+ feet in length
that is, in turn, most often employed to catch large numbers of pan fish
from the margins of lakes, rivers and ponds.
In his Guide to Whip Fishing,
four
time world bankfishing champion Bob Nudd demonstrates how to go about
catching greater than 60 fish per hour using this simple, yet
devastatingly effective, technique. |

You've seen those 'TG
Wagglers' and other Thill style floats in tackle stores, right? If you
have ever wondered how to use these floats effectively, look no further
than Waggler Fishing on Still Waters from England International Dave Harrell.
Dave shows how fish of all sizes may be captured at ranges of up to 30+ yards using waggler style floats. A must see if you want to succeed with
the similar Thill style wagglers available from most tackle stores! |

Still Water
Coarse Fishing by England International angler Will Raison follows
the Star on a trip to his home lake of Gold Valley. Raison employs
similar waggler techniques to those demonstrated in Dave Harrell's
Waggler Fishing on Still
Waters and, as a result, the two Titles are in may ways comparable.
Again, a great source of information for those getting to grips with
Thill style floats. This Title will not play on a computer w/ DVD
drive. |

An oldie but a
goodie! Follow John Wilson as he heads out to his local river in search
of a variety of hard fighting species. Wilson uses a range of familiar
equipment, similar to what can be picked up at a typical US tackle
store, in his quests - and is very successful too!
Go Fishing is a great video, showing just what can be
accomplished with the most rudimentary of gear - a great Title for those
just starting out on there bank fishing careers. |

How to Take Up
Coarse Fishing is great title for those interested in starting
bankfishing (the American version of coarse fishing). Float fishing with
'Thill' style floats is covered, all the way up from the very basics
through to some real fish catching tricks and details. Sinker fishing is
also covered in a similar fashion. A great Title for those who want to
quickly catch good numbers of fish from the bank. |
