Morning Gents, A couple more tench yesterday, next stop a week in France with my son chasing tench and a spot of river fishing 👌 Thanks Lewis

Hi Ady, I'll take the first 2 please mate Thanks Lewis

Evening gents, Had a day session today, earliest I've ever been out after tench. The water was alive with them today, behaving like it was June. Rolling, fizzing, in the margins, tearing up the weed beds. I had 4 very welcome red eyed beauties Thanks Lewis

Morning , The Tamers are great rods. I got a pair of 2.25, 12 footers 4 years ago. I love them. They've handled everything I've thrown at them from the Warks Avon to the Trent and 8oz leads. Not to mention gravel pit tench fishing and rogue carp to 35lbs. They're light, responsive and a...

Ah not far, I'm other side of chipping Camden from you. Bear with and I'll be in touch when I finish work. Thanks Lewis

Hi Granville, I'm very interested. Where are you based? Thanks Lewis

This guy's stuff is quite good https://youtube.com/@themagicoffishing?si=23Xxr7_Q-2p9JLS_ Comes across as a normal chap who just loves his fishing. Thanks Lewis

I was thinking the same the other day as I'd like to take my lad this year (& I've not been to one for over 10 years) I had a look at the BS website and there's been no news updates or anything else for a considerable amount of time. I did notice they didn't announce last year's until well...

The only hooks I've used for barbel fishing in the last 12 years or so are Gardner covert Talon Tips in sizes 12 down to 2. I've tried all the other Gardner hooks on numerous occasions plus a number of other brands and none come close for me. They are strong, sharp and do exactly what they...

Evening Gents, Not barbel fishing but this is the set up I use when roving the Wye pike fishing. I'll walk upwards of 6 miles in a day with no trouble. 2 made up rods, 2 bank sticks and landing net handle strapped together. Rucksack with all I need for a days fishing. Bait, scales, weigh...

Hi Jim, Not that I recall mate. It's a shame he sold up as it was a great location and his set up for visiting anglers was superb.

Hi Gavin, I've fished Fumay a few years ago mate. I went for carp when Ade Kiddell had his place but all I caught was loads of barbel 😂 Went with my dad and he had plenty aswell. I ended up knocking the carp fishing on the head and barbel fished. Exactly the same as most fish the Severn and...

PM mate

Hi gents, I have a trip to France approaching with my son therefore I'm in need of a 4th alarm. I'm after an ATTX Underlit if anyone has one spare they would be willing to part with, any colour. Thanks Lewis

Get yourself to fiskerton and buy your ticket in advance online for Notts Piscatorials (cheaper online and you don't have to wait for the post office to open 😉) The top end of the stretch is a bit of a walk so travel light or take a barrow (I do both depending on how I plan fishing) I'm not a...
