Our bleeding Cat brings then into the house alive, then proceeds to let them go and just watch them. The last one was under a cabinet in the hall. Eventually caught it in the kitchen after it made a run for it. Cat was asleep on the bed. I find the hoover is a good way of catching them if...

......Or the buckets the carp guys use. Camo green and very expensive for what they are. We recycle/chuck buckets away at work. I use them.

I was at a local commercial a few years ago, I gone to have a look as one of my mates was fishing the match there. I stayed for the weigh in and watched some of the lads pack up. One guy packed away his two pole rollers, put each of them into their own bag, then proceeded to put them both into...

I must have walked round with my eyes closed for the last 35 years.

I really have no opinion either way as to whether big cats are loose in the UK. They could be, there might not be any. But. For the last 35 years, I've worked on the Electricity power lines, getting to the remotest parts of our area, admittingly, not the moors, but pretty much out the way of...

Is there too much choice nowadays regarding tackle, rods especially ?? I've got 4 rods I use for Barbel fishing. I know very little about custom fitting, but I'm happy with what I've got. If I were to get some rods made, and they weren't what I was expecting, or as good as what I've already...

I'm 6' 3" and with all the XC90 seats folded down, and the front seats all the way forward, I could lay flat out and sleep in the back.

Last two, Peter...

I used to have an Impreza, crap for fishing, but what a car to drive. Anyway. We're on our second Volvo XC90. May be a little on the large side but they do a XC60. I get everything for a three day session in ours.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone, means a lot. Unfortunately this isn't my first ride on the bus so to speak. It's the culmination of a few too many knee operations but hopefully the end to constant pain and better knee stability. Less pain killers in the long run too. A local anaesthetic...

Thanks, Paul. Good tips. Only problem with No 2-3. We live in a bungalow. LOL.

Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but I have some bad news and some good news regarding my predicament. The bad news is that my fishing for this season, is probably now over. The good news is that on the 28th of December I'm booked in to have a total knee replacement. Hopefully I'll be...

Not socks, but insoles. They were ok, but a little on the thick side, which made them slightly uncomfortable in the boot. Take the boot insole out and they were better. Three settings, I used them on the lowest and they kept my feet warm enough the whole day whilst at work. Put them on the...

That's a Teet. The most commonest Owl in Britain. ;);)

I'm not expecting much TBH. But I thought I'd give it a go. At least it'll go before the AGM. I can't claim the idea though. I got that from @Richard Parsons FB post a few years ago. I doubt I'll re-join next year, at £100 it's become too expensive Vs the fish I catch. Although I meet up with...

I once tried to reverse a club rule (not BMAA) at an AGM that the committee had previously brought in without first consulting the membership. The next AGM, there were more members in attendance than any previous AGM in history. Strangely, they were all there to vote against my motion. 🤔🤔 I'd...

Thanks, Tom. Be nice to finally meet you.

Don't know if anyone will be interested, but I've put a proposal forward to the BMAA committee asking for it to be heard at the upcoming AGM. The proposal is for a "river only" ticket to be added the the list of memberships available. There is a "canal only" ticket, so maybe we can have a "river...

Mine have arrived, but unfortunately they've be delivered two doors up the road. LOL. 🤔🤔

No I don't Joe. I bought the BM ticket to fish the Dove, when that became hard I moved onto the Upper. I now find that very hard as well. I've fished the Upper Trent all my fishing life when there were matches on it. I now want an easier way of fishing than match fishing, hence the Barbel...
