I’m afraid Rob you’ve missed the very point I was making.

So it’s basically a mix of a method feeder and block end feeder.

There’s an ice age around every 100,000 years Terry. So global temperatures have fluctuated wildly since the earth’s formation. Temperature is not constant and it does change. We are currently moving from an ice age to a warm period, hence why the Great Barrier Reef has formed on land that was...

Far Right wing and left wing as a concept is a load of nonsense. Some people are simply extremists. Being left or right of centre makes a bit of sense but not a great deal tbh because you may feel completely different on any given thing or completely conflicting. We’re just not that simple.

Very much so Simon, I was watching (half, my wife was really) a series with Zack Efron just last night. They touched on the subject of coral bleaching, a subject which isn’t my profession but I’ve more than a glancing interest shall we say, I’ve been growing them for 20+ years. The subject was...

I find all too often these discussions hinge on opinions fuelled by zealots. We’ve lost the ability to realise two opposing truths can still be truths.

Top ones a cracking photo Carl.

I’m pretty sure it’s all to do with the way flavours work, in terms of dissolving and being carried. Rather than the fish feeling festive or something :D that’s the theory anyway.

I seem to recall that the original meaning of the word sport, means to distract or amuse yourself. To define from work. Hence why the word follows the activity, eg “hunting for sport”. So sport is the action, usually prefixed by the location or type. Eg, field, bar, track sports Sport as we...

They are probably responding to the presence of other fish, the sound of eating etc. Probably instinctively they are expecting minnows etc to be present.

I’ve got the version 1 1.75lb Korum Barbel Rod in 12ft. It does exactly what it’s supposed to and has taken some abuse. Had it 6 years in regular use.

I took my five year old fish last summer for the first time, we had a cracking morning catching roach and small to hand Carp. The initial fear passed and she became curious and even caught one 90% of her own work. We did the usual, sweets and she sat in daddies special chair. As we drove home we...

20-60g? If so, no. That kind of weight it ideal for medium hard and soft lures, 3-5” “baits” typically. A good weight for Piking. For drop shot, you’d be looking for a top end casting weight of 20g, preferably half that. I’d really encourage you to aim at small jigs and spinners in the 5-15g...

It’s all personal preference and they mostly are abbreviated handles. You are going to be holding the rod and casting constantly and you will be feeling for tiny dinks at times. Personally I like a short rod as it makes moving around easier and in my opinion moving around to find the fish is...

Bloody hell it’s snowing and everything :D

Nothings charged really. Davis Tackle at the gateway to the fishery.

You see it here, not in the big towns but the small towns and villages the butchers tend to sell all kinds of Game meats. I noticed it was very common in Spain.

Isn’t this a bit of a seasonal thing?

I’ve driven past the Ex many times and never knew it’s was such a lovely river. It’s nice light watching, the kind of thing I chuck on if I think I might nod off :D

I’ve always been fascinated by fish, even now so see a fish I’ve only ever seen in a book is exciting, fish keeping is the same. I assume most anglers can understand that. A few years ago I was Snorkelling in the Caribbean, I was much more excited to see wild Caribbean Blue Tangs and French...
