Jim, it was one of the best posts that I have seen since posting on both BFW incarnations. The best form of outrageous. Each subsequent post better than the former & richly portrayed. Keep it up. Cheers, Jon

Thanks for the extra feedback lads especially re dabs 2 compatibility. True on hardly hearing it & at times I do like the peace & quiet especially when one is far enough away from suburbia so there is no background hum of the town/roads/motorways etc.. Mostly, I prefer to fish by myself for...

Many thanks for the feedback - its my B'day towards the end of the month & just making my wish list. Thanks again, Jon

Evening all, Slightly removed somewhat from the conventional tackle recommendations. Now & again on the odd 24 hour plus session on the Trent I like to listen to a bit of radio for a bit of brain engagement with Radio 4 etc.. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced small or pocket size...

The thing with this general food profile is that the interesting part ie the oils & especially the protein does not detail individual constituents like the amino profile nor omega's etc. It's a pity they do not otherwise the peak constituents could be identified & used in isolation or in...

Nice kipper in every sense! You've having a good varied season so far... Thanks for the share, Jon

I haven't taken Mike's response as a holier than thou point of view - his smiley kinda emphasised the angle he was coming from & I'm sure no row was intended. Incorporated is the key word I suppose.

Fair comment Mike - from reading this lead is seemingly indirectly attached... Policing this would be a nightmare & (probably) only undertaken where the RSPB has highlighted associated problems observed in local wildfowl populations ie the EAs risk based approach to regulation Cheers, Jon

The legality here is maybe not applicable. How does this particular law effect the use of leadcore? Also, in how Ben started the thread, common sense should prevail - I know that I would rather consume a number of tidal trent feeders before a hook that has been wrapped in lead wire to add to...

Hi Wayne, I have not fished Collingham in the few years I have been on the tidal. 15 anglers around me fishing on the Trent is my definition of hell - actually, hell might be a more favourable place. Sometimes, August can be a strange time & good on you for trying so hard to try & swing...

Wayne thats the pleasure of learning for oneself. I went to a spot on Friday for the second time & blanked again. I will try again in due course - emphasis here is to try. I then packed up & moved to another area & had a few - painfully slow in the day & thru hard work it turned better at dusk...

For me grass carp have a strange semi lunging type of fight, sometimes semi tail walking & then do most of their fighting on the bank! Never caught one from a river mind. Unusual capture tho & nice one Cheers, Jon

Caught quite a few river carp from a few different (sized) rivers - best ever UK fight to date was a rather young spirited 23lb mirror from the Nene in the late 80s. Had bigger but that was particularly memorable. Control the first run & you stand a good chance of getting it in as long as you...

Cracking fish & photo Cheers, Jon

Two gems there Paul, thank you. My experience too on the steaming river consideration & follows for still waters too - late at night, sky clears, all goes still & ambient temperature drops fast; a promising session slows right down until the sun breaks through later morning. Agree that...

My fishing is at a premium at the moment & the only time I have managed to get out so far this season has coincided with full moons. And surprise, surprise, the cage door is open from Friday eve till Sunday - definite all nighter on Saturday & it is a full moon. BBC weather predicts that the...

Can only repeat what David has written - good composition, sunset & nice looking kipper. Thanks for sharing. Jon

The best type of lead when free. When I have a few secs Jason I will give you a ring with the dimensions if you not in a hurry, will try next week if poss - tied up for a few weeks trying to make space preparing for my next sessions. Just the new paste/boilies ingredients to get then I'm gone...

Wayne, Tidal thread seems okay now. I have cut & pasted your entry on the tester I originally placed. Try & get away from the crowds - plenty of space to go at. Cheers, Jon

I have these windows too - the mrs commandeers two hours, 5 nights a week. Did not realise that you had quieter times on the bank mate, must had been in former life! Cheers, Jon
