The only thing I’m bothered about is not fishing it regularly as I’m 40 min from ribble but 2-3 hrs from normanton and it obviously takes time to get it sussed but going to fish it a couple of times before close season👍

Cheers mate definitely going to give it ago I’m going to fish exactly how I fish the ribble with good results

Thanks mate makes sense 👍

That is definitely true,when I first started barbel fishing if I blanked on a certain bait I would be straight down the tackle shop and buy up the latest so called super bait,I eventually realised I was spending way to much money on boilies pellets etc,so looked at my diary counted up what I’d...
