Have I got the wrong end of the stick or did somebody actually think the Deer was a Hare? Oh deery me... On a lighter note, brilliant little vid. All this moaning about taking barbel out of the water being a terrible thing, if you'd do it to a fish you thought might be a double then why not do...

Normally as low as possible for me, but conditions/situation always dictates.

I was going to reply to this earlier but thought I'd let you get in there first T.... In fact I wouldn't mind one of them PM's myself :D Gimme a ring later bud we need to sort out this weekend ;)

Haha he is a special one bless him.... must run in the family! Good breeding, us Franklins :D:D:D

Hahaha have you been watching me fish again Simon?

haha mate I know the feeling.... Haven't even had the chub gear out once this season, all that will be changing in the next couple of weeks though. First frosts n all that ;)

Bang on mate

I do a lot of my Chub fishing on small to very small rivers, and I find a 12 foot rod perfect as the extra length often means you can drop the rig off the tip of the rod instead of casting.... sometimes wouldn't even mind a 13 footer ;)

Good post, glad to see some sense being written... There's always going to be a small minority of people who use em in the wrong way, but the same could be said of any item of fishing tackle, no?

"Oooh don't they fight hard in this current, what a clonker, lovely just to be here WHOOOOOPS" (drops fish on his rod breaking it in half)

As someone who has been a subscriber for 5 years now, and recommended it to others I could not agree more with what has been said. As has been said before, I think that CAT has moved to fill the gap in the market left by CF and all the other adverts sorry I mean magazines that made me start...

And a center parting by the looks of things, which I personally find quite offensive :D

Surprised he wasn't bow fishing

See Keith Speers post on the bad angling and muppets thread........

Oh most definitely quirky, but as for the gravel pit 'chops' I'm pretty sure he caught em... :D As for you Ian, I'll try and dig the book out over the weekend and get back to you.... It could well be that I need to borrow that soap haha :D

I seem to remember reading in Stoneys book about his life on the Thames, that once when he was a young man putting an 8lb barbel in a wet hessian sack on his handlebars and cycling a good 8 mile round trip to the club secretarys house and back to the river again, just so he could have the weight...

Post of the year!

After walking the dogs this evening I'm off with a mate to drop into our prebaited swim on the Thames which has seen over the past 3 weeks in the region of 250 kilos of mixed particles and a 'few' boilies... On a river as big as the Thames with such a relatively low population of carp let alone...

Don't worry Sam I got you mate, just the thread went off on a bit of a tangent!

They really do work well Ian, but don't put any kinks in the blo0dy thing or it becomes redundant pretty quickly as I found out the hard way
