    Tench 2024

    Good luck….tench are definitely my nemesis, I tend to only fish for them on the float and occasionally on the tip. Never had a double but come close…the carp boys regularly get the big ones but it all feels a bit dirty to me fishing for tench with bolt rigs and buzzers 😂 I’m determined one day...

    Tench 2024

    My thoughts are that first light there keen to patrol the margins looking for grub…regardless if sun or shade if they come across food they will feed, then as the sun rises they seek shelter in weed, under trees etc! Probably all depends on the water, depth, weed etc but one things for sure...

    Hooklinks again

    Been using the new Korum coated braid last season and really rate it, supple, low diameter and seems very abrasion resistant in 15Ib. Or I’ll just use mono, lengths vary depending on situation but anything from 6” to 2ft

    Not tried often for barbel but have for chub…and very effective they are too when chub are being a bit cagey on the tip! If I’m finding hard to connect with bites when chubbing the go to bait is a boilie wafter, that usually does the trick!

    9/10ft rods

    If not a kevlite then yeah would guess Armalite of FBS ….the 13ft FBS were lovely rods

    River carp in deep water

    Cheers Rich will bear it in mind in future, but for now I’m going to be concentrating my efforts in trying to catch a huge Barbel I spotted in the Ouse last season….if it’s still there🤞

    Korum waist trotting tray, Is this a good or dumb idea?

    Looks interesting, I’ve been pondering the HH bait apron https://www.halkonhunt.com/product/bait-apron Agree with other posts the Korum thing looks horrendous

    River carp in deep water

    I spent a bit of time a couple of yrs back chasing Ouse carp from a stretch with limited numbers, was good fun and had some nice fish From my limited experience I would suggest: Carp like to show themselves so spend some time looking at dawn and dusk They can be nomadic so once found do some...

    Flavouring Hemp

    I agree why the need to flavour something that is jam packed with natural flavour, amino acids and oils….just end up masking it IMO

    Big Cat sightings

    There’s a programme on Blaze tv about paranormal events, can’t remember what it’s called (Britain's big cat mystery)?? But a chap on there reported being attacked….obviously all unproven but there are reports of attacks (or at least one). The part of the programme I found most convincing was...
