My first photographed barbel of 9.15 from Christian Malford in the late 90's caught on Campbells meatballs.
We only lived 5 miles up the road at Bradenstoke, so I rang my parents to come down with the camera.
I've never caught a double and am not sure that's going to happen at Christian Malford...
In Aldi today I picked up a reasonable pair of sidecutters to act as spares in my pike fishing kit, or put in my lure bag. For the princely sum of £3.99

They seem to cut through hooks well enough for the price.
In Go Outdoors between 30 July and 5 August they presently have a voucher offer for a LED Lenser H7 head torch and P3 torch twin pack for £34.99 down from £65.

Some great stories here. Whilst living at home, we had a seperate fridge in the garage which our Mum never went in, so we were fairly safe there.
For those who've dropped some of the more pungent bait additives, a product called Auto Smart Bio Brisk should remove those smells.

Would love to come along. Caught my first grayling a 1lb 8oz up at Amesbury a few years ago and was bitten by the bug. Just need to book a day off.

I have sat in on the end of a case in the local Magistrates Court for rod licence evasion. The fine was £70 and the costs £60. All were tried in their absence. I don't think £130 is enough to discourage people from not having a licence. Especially as the licence checking process is quite...
I have caught pike at minus 6 before on the Bristol Avon. It was a funny old day, no runs or takes through 1 section, a quick cast with a spinnerbait to a raft of rubbish in another caught one jack and then my mate had 10 runs from the same area in about an hour before it went quiet. Just that...
Hotfoot Boots
I have a pair of Size 10 hotfoot boots, and since buying Skeetex Field Boots and Muck boots, I haven't worn them for years. If anyone wants them then please let me know.
The liners are in good condition.

Chris,
I believe that the pollution comes from the Westinghouse Drain, but not too sure at present. I didn't see any dead fish today. There is an Upper Thames League match there on Sunday, so the results in that will be telling of the effects of this.
I have just returned from Chippenham town centre after visiting the tackle shop. This occurred on Tuesday night and was immediately reported to the EA. There are presently booms strung across the river just upstream from Town bridge and some EA? workers near the wooden footbridge outside the...
I looked around for lead coating materials a few years ago and stumbled upon the fake 'grass' powders used by railway modellers. It's available in green and brown. Coat your leads in araldite or similar and then roll the leads in a tub of the powder. It has a nice texture and is not shiny...
Andreas,
That was the first time I'd done any serious fishing with bite alarms and boilies, as I have never fished for carp in that way before. I usually stalk them in the margins or use floaters. So, yes it was exciting as each time the alarms sounded and line was ripped off the spools at a...
