After the debacle of the ill-thought out Otter petition, this looks like a group worth supporting.

The most sensible and balanced post on this thread, totally agree with you Dave.

That is a beautiful looking fish, very well done.

PM for you Clive

Hi mate If you make it round at weekend, bring the rod with you, I'll have a look at it.

Blimey Jason Thought a pair of wellies would have been sufficient. How did your meeting with Stuart Mannering from the EA go?

I'll buy you a six pack of carlsberg export if you sort those couple of tiles out for me

PM for you Rob

Chris No need to ask elsewhere, as said before, as long as you strip the last couple of inches of the braid, you will have no trouble attaching a size 12 hook. But as Paul has stated, why go that small when fishing in weed. I have caught plenty of barbel using size 6 hooks baited with maggots...

Chris I think a 8 inch hook length is about right, I would use a coated braid instead of gravel braid, something like korda ntrap soft would suffice, just peel the last 2 inches above the hook, this would act like a combi rig. Add a korda anti tangle sleeve below the swivel and embed the hook...

Andrew I have 4 slammers, replaced my trusty old Abu 55s with them, if they are intended for heavy feeder or lead work then I would recommend you get them. Make sure you get the liveliners, makes life a lot easier having no reverse. Excellent clutches and bomb proof!

Alex I hope the chub and bream don't have a liking for them, otherwise it could be a costly exercise!

sorry, meant weed not week!

Chris Why do you think you need to scale down your rig to use pellet? Anthony If not sight fishing, how confident are you that an exposed hook on a 3 to 4 foot hook length wafting around, has not caught up in the week?

Not just Gloucestershire. Good friend from Yarnton, North Oxford had his shed turned over two months ago, Cleaned him out, but didn't take his golf clubs worth over £2000!! Perhaps fishing tackle is easier to move on. The only consolation the insurance company paid out promptly.

Anthony, I see the next Catch Cult release (no 4) will include an article on using a sonar by Ian Crook. Will be worth a read. If you are fishing smaller and shallow rivers that you can wade in, then I think you'll be wasting your time using one. On larger rivers like the Thames, which have a...

Very useful pieces of kit. Can save hours of casting a lead around. Used an old smartcast to map a length of the Thames below Oxford just before the start of the season. Found two drop offs to 19ft that we never new existed. Ran it over a couple of prebaited swims to give ourselves an idea of...

Luke, was referring to the closure of Joe Taylors tackle shop as the sad event, he is certainly gonna be missed by everyone in this area.

Jason, think he shuts first week of October, not too sure what's happening with the stock. Very sad day for fishing, end of an era.
