Tony, have a read through this old thread: https://barbel.co.uk/site/vbulletin/forum/barbel-talk/10409-army-goretex.html

Nice one Jason. I once dragged up a birds nest of line and there was a running ledger still attached....a padlock!!!!

Jason.....removed some snags? Probably moved some fish as a consequence.:eek:

:D

Graham my mother messaged me earlier from Hampshire to say the same: the sun had a bright orange halo! Probably due to sand from the Sahara. It then cleared and she used exactly the same phrase as you to describe it. Its dull and misty here in Leeds.

I have found that this is a great rod for barbel on big rivers, fishing for pike and casting a Deeper Smart Fish Finder! :)

Banned? Only on council land and property in some areas as far as I can see. Show me the official ban, Iain.

Just an aside to this. Why are the restrictions on lead shot not applicable to moorland grouse shooting? Surely, the associated pollution will work its way into upland rivers and therefore impact on the flora and fauna along the course of such waterways?

Neil, you posted your feelings about the technology on the other thread I started and if you'd read it properly, you would have noticed that I stated that I had no intention of using it as a Fish Finder. It was always as a more efficient way of discovering submerged features. The question I...

Not ideal, but you could wear a GoPro camera (or similar) when using the Deeper and record audio as well: doing a bit of a commentary about underwater features in relation to bankside markers to help you remember things.

Iain, it's funny how we can give someone an on-the-spot-fine for dropping a cigarette butt (which is fine by me) but allow others to litter the countryside with an incendiary device that could also cause harm to livestock that might try to eat the debris that falls to earth etc. Fifty of the things!

Chris, will you be lowering the rig into the small weedless hole or casting it out?

Joe, they do show silt and weed.

Thanks for the comments chaps. It's always useful to hear someone else's point of view. Stephen, it would take forever and be pretty difficult on a big river to get accurate results with a marker float. Also, river beds are frequently changing so the technology would be a time-saver. Mike, I...

As some of you will know, I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a Deeper Smart Fish-Finder. In fact, I've borrowed one off a mate and have been fascinated by the information it gives. However, I have a problem. On a recent visit to a river stretch I am unfamiliar with, I used my...

A bit of a follow-up on the Deeper. I borrowed one from a mate (the original Deeper) and had a play with it. It really does throw up some surprises and it's fascinating to see how much a river bed can rise and fall. The question is, will the use of technology change the feeding habits of fish...

Perhaps the big cats are the aliens, Mark? Unidentified Feline Objects? :)

Paul that's a new on on me. Did you mean keerist? At least I can find a definition for that. :)

What a belter!
