    To Tell or not to tell

    Throughout the whole membership of this site, you get a lot of varied opinions, soi think it's a case of each to his own, so long as you don't harm the fishing of others - on these boards or not i think it's ok, that should be the overriding consideration, even if an angler posting doesn't mind...

    salt and meat.

    I agree with Albert nigel, salt will have the same effcect on fish as it has on the meat, or at least too much will. If you're trying to make your hookbait firmer to stop being ripped off the hair, go for a firm type of meat like salami, if it's being used directly on the hook, i prefer it soft...

    To Tell or not to tell

    Keep posting Graham ! :D I didn't vote in the poll because if we're talking pictures sometimes i do, and sometimes i don't, i suppose that includes a posting without pictures too. Much depends on how much time i've got, or even whether i feel like sitting at the key board ! sometime i may...

    A quickie session

    Not that i do nowadays, but assuming you've suddenly got the chance to grab your gear and go, but no chance to prepare bait - spend a minute checking you've got everything you need, cos this is when you'll forget something :( Don't worry about bait, stop at a petrol station on the way, grab a...

    Small river summer tactics

    Throughout the year my fishing times change very little - if at all really, possibly a bit shorter in winter. What does change though is the amount of daylight / nightime fishing, such as at this time of year 2/3rds of my hours on the bank are in daylight. What i do think is that the Barbel...

    Fish of the Month for November 2012

    a 17 is a rare fish anywhere, and gets my vote, but if there was a beautiful photo competition, it would have to be the stour fish - lovely fish, and the photo really shows it off to it's best. Ian.
