    Korum bolt and run

    2nd afternoon at new venue. Went home with a big smile.

    Decided to join a new still water after hearing of 12lb tench and 14lb bream plus the big carp and 3lb perch. First afternoon was a blank. But 2nd afternoon resulted in 3 carp and 2 tench all late in the day. Baited a small area 2 rod lengths out with maggot pellets and hemp. Then slowly lowed...

    Compact lightweight Barrow

    No link I'm afraid. And before you start getting all shirty Gerry I just made an observation that it looks like the korum barrow I have. And have had for many years. I'm not picking an argument just saying what I thought.

    Compact lightweight Barrow

    I'm just saying it's excacalty the same and cheaper. So if it's excacalty the same then there can't be much difference in it.

    Worms for bait

    Evening all. I hope everyone is staying safe and keeping well. As above I was just wandering if worms are a good go to bait for barbel. Iv read lots of reports in AM and AT a like With barbel catches but dont really read much about worms being used as bait. Mostly boilies and meat being the main...

    Float fishing for Barbel

    Hi Jon is your float moving with the flow. I.e trotting or held in 1 place. What's the catch rate like compared with feeder/ledgering. Just interested. Alex

    Illegal closed season fishing

    Seems madness that a worm cam be used for fishing but say meat or maggots cant. Just seems strange why the close season is in force anyhow. Never knew about fishing worms on big hooks. School day everyday i guess 👍👍

    Illegal closed season fishing

    Sounds really daft to me. How many eels get caught using a worm anyhow. And what stops it being angling if a different specie of fish is caught i.e roach perch tench etc. Sounds like its just another get out claw that allows people to fish in the close season.

    Illegal closed season fishing

    The thing with still waters is that someone has spent alot of money providing a place where fish can be caught all year round. Would many still waters still exist if they had to have 3 months rest. There is a small set of 3 pits near me that i sometimed fished but these fished where hammed so...

    In need of a new landing net head.

    Thats the problem with everything today. Its all made from plastic that will last no more than 5 minutes. What's wrong with manufacturers making something that will last. The problem is that if they did that. Then they wont have much of a turn around on kit. When i was younger i use to buy cheap...

    Illegal closed season fishing

    Your right in ever sence Gerry. Im not one for telling people whats what. But i have no problem with telling out of season so called anglers/fish takers that the season is closed and they need to clear off. Its just a shame there is never a police officer on hand to lead them to the gallows 😂

    Illegal closed season fishing

    For the 3 months of not being able to fish the rivers is no biggy in my eyes. I think that everything needs a break and id like to think anglers can notice an improvement come the 16th june. There are plenty of still waters to put a bend in the rod for most. Those that are still out there...
