    Road Salt

    Would also imagine it depends on the stretch. ie How near it is to a main road etc. If the salt does have an impact, nearer the main road the greater the concentration of salt would be.

    Record Chub?

    It's all a bit awkward really. It just does not look big enough. If you'd weighed that yourself you would look at the scales and say, "that can't be right......"

    Do we really care ?

    In certain parts of Australia carp are considered a pest. So much so that by law you must not return them!!

    How big is your burden?

    Couldn't get near the river with the car this morning so just took the minimum. Had a 2 rod quiver. A Korum Tackle / Bait bag. (All my bits fit in here including a decent sized flask.) Korum Lightweight Chair.

    Thanks. So a couple of enterprise adapters, a couple of drennan isotopes, a new 4 oz quiver and the jobs a good'un. :)

    Night sight quiver tips

    Do the drennan isotopes stay in enterprise adapters ok? Thought they would be a bit to small and prone to pinging out or do you glue them in?

    Night sight quiver tips

    Thanks for the replies. :) I use the drennan isotopes with avon tops but not too sure with quivertips. (worried about catching and snapping) Are the enterprise ones less prone to snagging?

    Identifying fish from surface activity

    I cast to anything that moves at the moment! If its moving in this temp you would have to think that it was moving to feed. At least thats what I'd hope.

    Chub

    10lb main line. Running ledger. (I like the Korum Feedabeads) Buffer bead to a size 8 swivel and a combi hook link to a size 8 Korda curve shank. Hair long enough to take 2 x 8mm or 10mm pellets tight against the bend or 1 pellet wrapped in cheese paste. :) I don't know if its just me...

    Chub

    Chub

    Still trying to break that 5lb mark on the WA. Had a 4lb 15oz on Sunday along with a few others around the 4lb mark. Took one on cheese paste. Wrapping the paste around a 7mm pellet. Its interesting watching the bite develop with lots of knocks and taps before the take.

    2009 how has yours been and plans for 2010

    First full season on the rivers after the barbel so difficult to measure success (or failure!) Caught a few so must be ok. :) 2010 goals to keep learning, to catch more consistently and would love to catch a barbel on the stick.
