    Ebay madness

    I think the Korda ones look quite good, I might have to invest. Will they make me a better Karper? Will they help me spod my munga at 100yds? These are the important questions.

    For all you long stay anglers

    I just love the description on the website; "Okay, so squatting on a cardboard box isn’t the most luxurious way to lose your Bungle’s fingers, but it certainly does the job when you’re touching cloth in the middle of nowhere." Good, honest advertising :D:D

    Are barbel the new carp?

    'Are Barbel the new Carp?' No. It seems to me though that Barbel have been the 'New Salmon' for quite a while judging by how seriously a lot of barbel anglers take themselves.

    Lake weed "harrowing" to remove

    Well in that case I'd probably keep things simple and just fish 8 rods all over the shop :D:D

    Lake weed "harrowing" to remove

    I would get a couple of rigs out to the area thats just been 'harrowed' as quickly as possible, as the fish will be checking out and feeding over the 'new ground' in the coloured water. In fact Mr. Hearn has written quite a bit on this very subject... I don't know what it'll do for the long...

    Has anyone been fishing?

    Probably was the same guy. Blue jacket, cheap camping chair, one rod and two landing nets. He didn't want to hear he was wrong and I didnt fancy making him too angry.... Anyway you have anything Stu mate?

    Has anyone been fishing?

    Nope! One guy piking on the Thames at medley today, when I told him the season finished yesterday he just said "no, today" and shook his head and shrugged when I pressed the point so hopefully the EA will bother to pay him a visit after I so kindly rang them... As for fishing, had a brace of...

    chub

    Two eights and a nine? :eek: Wowzers! Congrats to everybody. After those fish mine look miniscule in comparison, but I had quite a good result on the Thames recently..... 6.14, braced with 5.12 And the next morning this brace at 5.3 and 5.14

    Cyclical nature of waters

    What I'm thinking with some local pits Stu, TC being a prime example, is that they have now reached a level where there is ALWAYS successful fry recruitment, due to the numbers of fish present. This in turn means there are always lots of smaller fish coming through and sustained competition for...
