HI Sean,
Try Smeatons caravan park just outside Newark on the old river (Trent). They have 7 swims of well made pegs. They allow night fishing & it fishes well in the dark.
There are other areas that I could recommend but they don't allow night fishing.
Lets us know where you end up & how...
Hi Folks,
I will lift this one to the top again, so here's hoping for a bit of action this time!
Rummage in that shed & look through that old tackle box.

Hi Martyn,
What an evocative account of what sounds a thoroughly enjoyable trip. It certainly sounds like the fishing is a lot harder than the early days on Nasser.
I took my son on a post uni treat back 1997 and we caught 120 perch as well as bagruss & vundu cats and a few tigers. Back in...
Hi Chaps,
I am looking for a spare spool for one of my early Shimano reels. Has anyone got a spare or even a basket case reel with a good spool.
Thank you in anticipation,
Bob
Hi Robert,
It was £400, plus I think £25 for the line-guard. A lot of money though it is a limited edition of just 25, & superbly made.

In about 2004 something came over me & I...
Hi Martyn,
The Olympic is same rod as the B James Avocet but without the fancy intermediate whippings.
Because it is not so 'flashy' it is probably not so desireable, though it is a much rarer rod. They were often the prize rod given away by the News of the World for the best coarse fish...
Hi Tom,
I have a pair of original Aero GT4000's in superb condition. I believe these are identical to the 4500 but with less line capacity.
I view of the condition & the desireability of these reels I will be looking for £100 plus P&P.

Hi Robert,
The rod holdall arrived 30 mins ago & it seems a good bit of kit in extemely good condition. I guess it will take a bit of getting used to but will offer good protection to my rods etc.
Many thanks,
Bob
