    Chub Fishing

    Not tried that method to make the paste but i do equal quantities of short pastry and which ever cheese i want, roll the pastry out, grate cheese and spread over pastry, fold edges in, then just keep flattening and kneadng in your hands, works a treat.

    Humminbird

    What is the range on these? They state 30m, which isn't very good if you want to do the whole of a big river. I know there are videos etc where you can modify it for longer distance, however this means extending the aerial, never really thought how well they will cast.

    Laser Pens

    As somebody who has used the pens to deter the wildlife, i thought i would post on here. When i use the pen i don't shine it in the eyes of the birds, i start it in the water close to me, then slowly raise the pen until it gets to the point of showing up on the body of one of the birds, it is...

    Tripods

    If money is no object, then check these pods out, they are a little bit more than a normal pod from over here, but when you look at the options and how you can adjust it, it would be worth the extra money, however think you will struggle to find them over here. MECCANICA VADESE - Nick 95 -...

    Korum two rod river Tripod.

    I am another who can recommend getting a fox horizon pod, i haven't got the brass conversion for the butt end, however the best bet is cutting all 4 brass screws down that go into banksticks, ok with the fox sticks, but way too long for others. I have added the old keepnet adjusters to the...

    Polish fisherman

    You are not far wrong there. Went out on thursday, only 2 other people fishing, when we left, they had left a bag of rubbish, they had carried it down to the car park (at least they didn't leave it just on the bank), then just left it there. With regards to the EE's, wait till Bob tells you...

    What's it all about ?

    Once you start looking at that, you then look at the moon phases, i was out at the weekend, only had 2 fish, but they were both within the set times for the phases, is there more to it than meets the eye. Didn't like the fog, not good at all.

    September Fish of the Month Sponsored by Pallatrax

    I have fished a different stretch, one morning this woman came out her house and threw the leftover bread from breakfast in the river. I asked if she was feeding the fish, she said what fish and returned to see a shoal of chub going mental.

    Perfect reel for Harrison Snag n Flood ????

    Steve, if you like your xtb's but prefer the rear baitrunner system then it's worth the swap, i believe they are more bomb proof and feel stronger than the others. If you want old school have you thought about triton seaspins

    Perfect reel for Harrison Snag n Flood ????

    I'm with John on that, the same spool size as the XTB, however the reel is more bomb proof and you know that it will take some stick, was reeling 3-4oz back past few days like there was very little on the line.

    New Shimano LC's(Medium)

    First Impressions: :D Shimano you have done yourselves proud, if only this reel had been out a few years ago. They feel really balanced with the Maximisers and can't wait to throw out a big pig feeder and feel the cranking power. The only difference i can see between the spool on this and the...

    winter suit

    Steve, Stay away from fishing manufacturers, they are well over priced. Use the layering system, this will allow you to be alot more comfortable, it's not good buying a really thick warm and waterproof jacket, as you will have to wear that same heavy jacket all the time. It would be alot...

    Pollution of the River Crane

    It is nice that they are putting their hands in the company pockets to help restock the river, but it just shouldn't happen. Yes TW helped out with the Wandle, but it's not the river it was, i used to know of some good chub haunts that people never went to, after the pollution, the fish just...
