Sag fest? Only a Bristolian would get that...

The VW vans are pricey, you could try auctions, look for fleet disposals, serviced and clean mostly. VAT a hassle though.

I have had a couple of Vauxhall Combo's last one was an ex SOCO van with a few extras light's sockets etc. It had less than 20k on the clock and £900 when I bought it... It ended its day's on the banks of the River Arrow with a blown engine. Miss having a van, great for fishing, dogs, and...

Hair rig tends to get the Chub nicking the bait they are very adept at doing that, straight on the hook is better if Chub are a bother. Trouble is with this meat can detatch on the cast, so using firmer meat is better. For big floods I thread a cube down the hook link and seat it on a big hook 4...

Plenty of cheaper own brands, Plumrose, Morrison's their Bacon Grill is yummy, B&M, Lidl, also try the Polish section, garlic infused sausage is great, Barbel are not brand snobs. ;)

Been through the lot, and the only ones I recommend are the Drennan..

I understand mate, just a bit jealous I guess....would snap your rod in half for a chance to fish there, at least you haven't employed the service of a guide. Good luck.

It's fishing not catching...surely isn't it down to the angler on the spot to assess the river.. fishing the crease for example.? Sorry if I am being rude but working it out for yourself is the very crux of river angling, isn't it?

A lot of advice is given to use long hook lengths, 3 to 4 ft being the norm. The reasoning that fish will spook from a lead or feeder, and in that I get it, but for me I prefer to use as little parafanalia on the business end as possible, a simple running rig with a anti tangle sleeve with a...

Admist the carp, bread recipes and bridge diversions, you are probably right.

I know..you should check out my Victoria Sponge 🙂

No don't the chap on Awesome fishing the cack handed one c/w John Wilson Avons and no line on his reels made similar from chicken wire...useless. Get a good knife ☺
