    Barbel rivers , Cornwall

    Might be better off with a lure rod for the bass. As I recall from the question being asked a year or two back Cornwall is devoid of river barbel.

    Ebro catfishing

    Glad you've booked Paul, you won't regret it. I've got a real dilemma, I love my barbel fishing but am itching to get back out there to catch a 100lb+ fish in the autumn. Al has just updated his blog, the 218lb fish that they had recently looks huge! There was one fish that I was (briefly)...

    Ebro catfishing

    Hi Paul, they take a maximum of three anglers per boat but usually just one or two and you get your own rod! There were two of us fishing and in some swims you could get three rods out so we decided between us who would get the other rod. You're very much left to handle the rods, the guide will...

    Ebro catfishing

    I've recently returned from four days fishing for catfish on the Ebro in north-east Spain. I can highly recommend my host and guide Al Henderson, his expertise ensured that I got off the mark at the first time of asking and my incompetence in dealing with very big river catfish meant that I...

    Passion....

    I've ordered from them many times in the past, quite how they do free delivery at those prices is anyone's guess. Never had a problem with them.

    ALDI fishing gear

    On balance decided to get the boots after all. Will do for winter dog walking if nothing else. Thanks for the feedback gents.

    Thanks for the report Paul, sounds like my sort of thing. Just need to convince Mrs. H-R now!

    Holding perch

    Doesn't seem right to me either, the Americans seem to be quite fond of it with bass too.

    Night Floats

    As a kid we would use battery operated floats/lights, huge things in those days. Just did a search on eBay for 'battery floats' and they do still exist.

    Black Friday deals

    Booked a couple of holidays yesterday for next year. Despite using 'black Friday' codes they finished up the same price as when I'd bookmarked them last week. I'm sure that there are some genuine bargains out there but I have noticed that many retailers inflate their prices just prior to having...

    Drop shotting

    Been at it a few years after witnessing a pal empty the Trent of big perch in a couple of hours. I don't always drop shot with the bottom lead, often just small lures on a small jig-head, there's certainly something in it. Had a PB perch of 3lb07oz using the method.

    Winter targets

    Temperature tendency is probably more important than a specific temperature. Temperature rising a few degrees in mid-winter can often trigger a feeding spell just as a cold flush in mid-summer can often knock them off the feed.
