    Need fishing club in Oxfordshire area

    Thanks again guys. I used to fish the Loddon and did quite well, but after hearing about its general decline I think RDAA is the club I will join now to get the stretches of the Kennet and Thames. Cheers everyone for helping me make my mind up, and thanks Julian for such a detailed response.

    Need fishing club in Oxfordshire area

    After another blank last night I'm really considering switching to other fish for the rest of the year. This has been my worst season ever - I have failed to bank a double despite doing really well with the same methods and tactics over previous seasons. Its driving me insane. So I was...

    Groundbait bowls

    Has anyone any recommendations for a good easy clean ground bait mixing bowl. Basically I have a crappy five quid collapsable material one from the tackle shop and I'm sick of packing it away after a session, leaving it a few days and coming back to find its sprouted hairy white legs and is...

    Korum 2 rod Quiver. Rubbish Buy

    Talking of stuff that has never evidently been field tested - what about the old Fox plastic baitdropper where the door falls off after a couple of casts - what an absolute beaut! Love it.
