i saw a mink on the Thames last year too Dave !!! While i was Roach fishing i videoed it ... Excuse my French !

They're just Barrel shaped boilies David, you can make them yourself, i use a Gardener rolling kit, so you roll a 10mm sausage then placeing the sausage on a 14 or 15 mm corrugated rolling block will produce 10 mm barrels, they will be slightly concave in shape ( actually the opposite of a true...

:oops:

Then it wouldn’t be the same brolly, it fits fine in my quiver because I’ve got quite a large one, if you’ve got a small quiver, you’re only ever going to get a small brolly in it, and I wouldn’t describe the Fox specialist as a small brolly, for its size I think it’s surprisingly light, it is...

Facebook tips ... or how I do it anyway.... only post things that you don’t mind the whole world seeing, same with your profile info about yourself, only visit groups you enjoy interacting with, set your privacy settings ( bearing in mind the above ) to the level of privacy you deem appropriate...

Much the same as any form of social media Stephen, if you want agro and argument, it's easy to find it's not difficult, i have no such problems with it, though i've seen it, i ignore it, if you put people together on social media, or in person who have differing views on whatever subject sooner...

That's more believable Jason !

I can see it ! I've only encountered Crays once whilst fishing on the Thames, well it must have only been one or they would have had my bait off, but when reeling in i could see the grooves it left in my boilie ( which i now boil really hard after encountering them on the Loddon ) I've never had...

Mine’s a 45” but I don’t know where they measure it from ! It’s a lot bigger than that !

There are several ways in which a fish can be tethered, and no rig is 100% safe ! So called safety clips will only work if the lead itself has become jammed, with the fish able to pull directly to the rod tip, the lead ( in theory ) should then pull out of it's clip freeing the fish. If the line...

Best brolly i’ve ever bought... and i’ve Had a few ! 😉

Excellent !

' roll up with his flowery deck chair and catch some barbel ' ..... I had one of those Damien, i ended up going through it when the material split !

I use a coated braid hook length, and mono mainline Richard, I always backlead my mainline wherever possible, and always try to keep my lines as slack as possible, i’ve always believed tight lines, and especially in mid water spook barbel, and do everything to try and avoid that situation ...

II think you knew the answers all along Tony ! I wouldn’t go mad on the baiting find a good bait ... and believe me meat is one of the best, and that doesn’t have to be luncheon, chopped chicken breast lightly fried, beef burger, I could go on, mincemeat is a great loose feed with hemp bound...

The Length of hooklengths i use on the Thames are the same as i use on other rivers i don't measure them but + or - an inch or so about 18", dropping to 6" or thereabouts really to my mind means using a bolt rig, which i think just makes the fish ever cuter though you can't argue that they are...

I'll be on the Thames all season, a new club ticket, and a couple of other stretches i've got in mind !

Slugs ! ... well a couple of years back, i had just poured myself a cup of coffee from my flask, which as i drank it i thought tasted unusually creamy !!!! , i had poured very hot coffee onto a slug that had crawled into my cup, it must have burst it, I realised what i had just drank when the...

Well here's a throwback for you !

The Ford in flood at the lands end pub near Twyford taken from the pub car park . This is the old river Which leaves the main river just below Sandford Mill, passes through Twyford and rejoins the main river just below the A4. The usual depth of the ford would be around 6" to 12 " the middle...
