    Fish In Warks Avon. Update

    Not much to report. It was a very cold night with a few fish being lost and only a few bream caught. Walking along today everyone was struggling- even fishing maggots for a bit of action. Conditions wise it’s not good, gin clear and bright. Tonight is going to be milder and hopefully a few more...

    Line recommendation for trotting for barbel

    I’ll second that, a great all-round line. I use the 6 + 8lb for float fishing. Comes in large spools which is handy.

    Hi Bill, we have a date for your diary, Saturday 12th August. We are waiting for confirmation of the venue and I will post up all the details in due course. In the mean time anyone can attend one of our Fish-ins which are dotted about the south of the country. Give me a PM for more details...

    Have a go at fishing for grey mullet

    Hi Tony, we will probably be having another next year but I'm not sure about the venue yet. The best thing to do is to register with the AT for the newsletters. I will obviously post it up here again in any case.

    Have a go at fishing for grey mullet

    Glad you enjoyed it, good fun and a great bunch of guys. Thanks for your help with the gazebo or should I say marquee. We needed that shade though. 😅

    Have a go at fishing for grey mullet

    Thanks Graham we don’t get to fish together enough! I always had breakfast rammed down me then that’s it for the day! It’s a formula that works 😂

    Specialist Rods (1.25-1.5lbtc)

    I'd recommend having a look at the Cadence range. Very similar to the Torrix in action (I have both), from what you want it for I'd go for the 1.25lb TC.

    Have a go at fishing for grey mullet

    Nice looking one, I’m always amazed at the size of the tail. People see them cruising serenely around marinas and harbours and don’t think of an athlete, until you hook one you cannot believe the speed and power that tail can generate, then there’s the stamina…. Great sporting fish.

    Have a go at fishing for grey mullet

    We (NMC and AT) are holding another Mullet Masterclass on the 13th August at Northney Marina, Hayling Island. If you have ever wanted to try fishing for mullet this is a great opportunity to fish for chub on steroids. We will also be doing fly fishing which is getting very popular, guided by...

    Floats

    Use a very small bead above the float rather than allowing the knot to stop on the eye. It will slide a lot easier and the knot cannot get stuck in the eye. Nice job!

    Cadence Reel Users - Sizing Advice

    I have 8 Cadence 4000 reels I use for float fishing and ledgering. I have one 3000 size reel I use for lure fishing. I think either is suitable for what you want, I prefer the 4000 size for float fishing as I have big hands. I have a mate who swapped to a 3000 as he struggled with little fingers...

    Floats

    Hi Jon, until I get some eyes made you would need to modify them yourself. I’ve used large fine wire hooks for the eyes previously. I don’t think the top eye that comes on the float sticks out far enough to slide properly

    Floats

    I'm giving this a bump in time for the start of the new river season. I've just received the 11gr Big Float, this takes a 10gr olivette plus another gram of droppers and bait. Ideal for big baits on big rivers such as the Wye, Trent and Severn. These sell at £2.50 each (the rest of the range...

    14ft #3 Cadence. Great strong blank, quality fittings, lovely to fish with and won’t break the bank.
