    Catch Cult 26

    Really enjoyed number 25, a great read. My door mat is quivering in anticipation of number 26…….Steve Pitts on eel fishing….🤪🐟🥰🥳

    Waterproof Recommendations

    A few years ago I was at Rutland for a trout match. It was September, the weather was very moody with dark grey skies above as we all stood around drinking coffee and having a bacon roll before firing up the boats. The head ghillie, sorry I cannot remember his name, had more than one person ask...

    Whats your PB?

    Great excuse for me to dig out a snap of my biggest beard! I doubt I will get anywhere near catching one of this size again but the memory remains strong. 2011, Ivel, 18lb 12oz, double maggot.

    Soaked pellets

    I used to scald pellets with water from a boiled kettle but found the consistency, well, too inconsistent! With 4.5mm trout pellets i add cold water so that it’s not quite covering them, leave for 20mins and then turn over the airtight box and give it a good shake. They are perfect for moulding...

    What are your targets for the new season?

    My first Gt Ouse barbel would be good! But I won’t be chasing a new PB as I think that ship has sailed and the Ivel with it... A 30 plus carp on the float ‘n pin.. Dream fish is a 3lb river roach.. I still have to break my grayling duck.. When the season starts I will be chucking fluff hoping...

    SAD REALISATION

    I see the Ivel talked about a little here, it’s the only river I have barbel fished and spoiled me to be honest back around 2010. I couldn’t really hope to have travelled anywhere else in the country at the time and expect to catch a

    Unhooking mat or not?

    In trying to answer Paul’s original question, I have a reply. When I target river roach by trotting, I never take an unhooking mat. If the roach is of a size that I want a picture, I look around for the most suitable place. Last year I was lucky enough to land a 13lb barbel on my roach gear...

    CATCH CULT 19 UPDATE

    Best mag by a good old fashioned country mile! It’s been a few issues since I last purchased and I have now done the right thing and subscribed again for 19,20 & 21.

    Shortening a rod

    I have an old Tricast 12ft 1.25tc carp rod that I use for most of any close range barbelling that I do. I cut about 10” off the end of the butt section at the reel end and this made a long handled carp style rod much more manoeuvrable.

    Angling camaraderie

    Just a thought..how do you know this chap had a couple of leads to give you, or was not going fishing somewhere else in an hour, or had even already given a couple of leads to someone else? Maybe he too was having a bad day. I’m a tight wad miserable sod then as I would have also declined your...

    Wanted 1 Fox Micron MMX

    Hello all, I hope the start of the river season has been fruitful so far! I have been sidetracked by carp for a bit so will wait until later in the year for a river dabble. Anyway, as per the title, I know it’s bit of a long shot but if anyone has a spare or unused fully working order Micron...

    Anyone else keep fish on here?

    I got a 140l tank for my birthday last year. I have 2 fairground goldfish, a sarasa comet, a shubunkin, a lemon goldfish, a ranchu and 2 koi. The koi I got suckered into buying last autumn, they were 99p each and about an inch long. To be honest I didn’t think they would survive. The guy in the...

    Ridiculous postage

    Maybe it’s just an ‘age’ thing but what a ‘ridiculous post’ in the first place. Go and buy from your local shop! 😂🤪

    Strange Hookbaits....

    I have caught carp on goose shit! Used freeline when I ran out of Wotsits while guesting a garden centre many moons ago. Carrot also caught me 5 doubles one day. Nothing really unusual for me as a barbel bait except I seem to catch more barbel recently when roach fishing!
