    One for the maggot men.

    Never really used them in earnest for Barbel...... Despite what the 'experts' will tell you, I've always found 2 Whites better for Grayling, a single Bronze for decent Chub and a couple of reds for Dace.............. For Roach Casters..........

    I had someone cast over my line whilst playing a Barbel !! That's all you need to know..... And at weekends, yes it is literally a 'foot-race' :(

    Aldermaston, The Old Mill

    Would be better if he would limit the numbers....... Lovely place, fished it 3-4 times with mixed results (best day was 4 Barbel to 9-14). Contains some good Chub too. Very pretty setting, but best fished mid-week after the summer......

    Getting up.

    90% of my fishing is done with Clive and these days we are NEVER in a rush....... It's all about just being there and enjoying the craic with a good friend !!! We both fish like idiots half the time, but that's part of what makes it so enjoyable....... I've done my years of 'fishing hard' and...

    Shimano 5000 GTE original plus other bits

    Hi Nick, do you have any photos of the GTE ???
  18. Paul Matthews

    Will the boyo's take the record? ?

    A VERY good fish no doubt.............. Not doubting it, but not a good quality photo.......... All the usual questions will be asked........... If it's not that big then the only person they are cheating is themselves..... Like I said, BIG fish..............
