    Barbel Help

    Welcome Ashley, I feel your pain. I mainly fish the fishless upper Trent. Before that the Dove. One thing you haven't said, is what time of the day are you fishing ?? When I have caught Barbel out of the above rivers, it's nearly always in the dark. Something else, I fed far too much bait in...

    New reel recommendations

    I use 6000 x areo's on my 2.75lbs Daiwas. I've since swapped the handles over to singles. I know they're not everyones cup of tea, but I like them.

    Night fishing tidal trent.

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1076278889066762/user/100033576672983/ This women runs a small section of the Tidal at Collingham. Near the conveyer. I'm pretty sure she's posted that she's booked up until November, but worth a message, as she does get cancellations.

    Big fish kill Warks Avon. THOUSANDS DEAD FISH.

    Generally, when a thunderstorm goes through it lowers the atmospheric pressure and literally sucks Oxygen out of the water. High pressure pushes Oxygen into water. That's when you see fish sucking in air on the top. A few years ago, the Glebe fishery ran by Roy Marlow had this problem on the...

    The price of this reel!!

    I've got the AWL River as well, that I use at Staunton Harold with a 2 or 3oz tip for my long line. Maybe more suited for that rod ??

    The price of this reel!!

    What rod do you put them on lee ?? I use the Daiwa Amorphous Stillwater feeder for my Bream fishing, and was thinking of getting a second hand one to put on that, but at this price, I may as well buy new.

    The price of this reel!!

    Interestingly, when I looked on Monday they were on back order. Now there's more than 10 in stock. Makes you wonder if they're being discontinued at that price.

    Pellet size.

    There's only about 6 kilos in the air tight bucket, so I think I'll just chuck them all away. I'm not even going to feed them to the birds for fear of killing them. I've got about 50 pre tied mesh bags too, they'll have to go as well.

    Pellet size.

    They're mainly course pellets from decent manufactures, Sonubaits, Sticky baits, 3FT, with only a few halibuts thrown in. They're left over from when I've fished the odd match here and there, or used them when I've fished for Carp. I just thought the 2mm being light, would be off downstream...

    Pellet size.

    I have a large bucket that I keep my pellets in. I tend to throw any left over ones in there, and there's quite a mixture now. I then make up some PVA mesh bags and use them for the hook or onto the lead via a bag clip. All sizes, ranging from 2mm up to 8mm, different types and flavours. Are...

    It’s back !!

    Mine tend to be quite doughy in the middle, probably the mix being a little thick. I'd like to get them a bit crisper and with a hole in the middle. Less flour I think. How are you guys doing the large ones ?? They look spot on.

    It’s back !!

    Right. Lets raise the stakes, or even sausages.

    It’s back !!

    LOL. Flour. It's just in the cupboard. The missus says it's self raising.
  18. Simon Archer

    It’s back !!

    One cup of flour, one cup of eggs, one cup of milk, Graham. Bosting hot oven, and I use lard in the tray. Preheat until the lard is starting to smoke. The mixture is a bit thick, but seems to work alright.

    Landing nets

    I've just bought a 42" net for my Carp fishing set up. I was looking at it in the house after it had arrived, when my missus coldly said, "What do you need that for" ?? Another vote here for the Dinsmore net. Had one for years and it's been fine.
