Only downside fishing with meat is eels. I always use a piece big enough that they can’t fit it in their mouth in one bit to try avoid hooking them but they’ll still get hooked eventually if there’s nothing else about to take the meat off them. Smallest eel I ever caught was pretty much the size...

I get what you’re saying. I normally only fish one rod but will occasionally fish 2 if there’s enough room for 2. I don’t know why but it annoys me when I see people fishing 2 rods in really tight swims. It’s probably cause in the case of a double hook up one of them will probably end up...

When I first got into night fishing for carp we used to fish a pretty easy lake that wasn’t that busy. We used to see these 2 lads there every so often and they used to bring a big tv with a massive aerial they used to set up. You used to have to park in the car park at the bottom end of the...

If there had of been a big cat in there it would have no problem in catching me. I was literally on my last legs thinking I was about to have a heart attack and had decided if the car wasn’t round the next bend I was gonna have to put my gear down and have a rest. Thankfully that was the last...

If you’re lucky you can park by the post office (I’m assuming you still can, I haven’t been down there for a while) and that will save you a bit of walk rather than parking in the car park

As Cliff said park at arley and walk. I measured on a map once and it’s probably equal distance as walking down through the woods but it’s basically flat. That walk back up the hill is horrendous. I honestly thought I was gonna die when I did it. I was soaked to the bone as well as I didn’t...

Think it’s a bit of both. Iv landed fish and still had half the meat slid up the hooklink. Iv even slid it back down and recast the remaining meat and caught another fish. First time I ever used half a big tin of spam I caught the smallest pencil thin eel Iv ever caught

Evening for me. Last hour of light into dark. Most productive time generally as well

I’m guessing they’ve got the diversion up to stourport as that would be the easiest route for any lorries that need to get into town

Iv not been into bewdley for a bit so unsure what direction the bridge is closed but know you can cross the river on the bypass and assume you can enter the town from the top somewhere or exit the town at the top and come back down the bypass

Love the Waze app. It sends you on some proper random routes when the traffic is heavy but always the quickest way. I remember a couple of years back the motorway was shut so everyone was taking the back roads. We got to one point down this country lane where it goes to one car width and was...

Can you not go up the bewdley bypass instead of going all the way up to stourport?

Is that a strip club?

Just thinking back now it must have been 5 or 6 years ago maybe more the river was full to the brim when the season started so after a couple of weeks when it had dropped a bit I went to arley and fished the peg just below the island. I got there at 7pm and had to pack up at 9:20 as I’d run out...

To be fair you get 16 or 17 hours of daylight so if he was there at sun rise and packed up and sunset that’s just under 4 fish an hour. Still pushing it with recovery time but if they were all small fish and he was hooking them within a couple of minutes of casting it could be done I guess but...

Rods arrived this morning mate. Absolutely mint. Thank you

Pm mate

Absolutely love mine. The brightness did my head in to start off with but grew to like it as you don’t need to be staring at the rod tip to know you got a bite as you’ll notice it’s suddenly gotten darker lol. Plus you can always see it out the corner of your eye. I wouldn’t want to go back to...

Mine used to be but I gave up being to anal about it for the same reason u say first time out it all gets messed up. These days I look through my stuff to see what I need I to go buy from the tackle shop, drive up there, forget what I needed to buy by the time Iv got there and buy a load of...

I can remember being sat on my bed chair making up a solid bag of maggots and must have popped one whilst tying it and without noticing the bag started melting and ended up with a lap and sleeping bag covered in maggots lol
