    Nice Trent Day Tickets

    For me.. Only one venue ticks your boxes. Collingham, fish all along and other than the top end its park behind your peg.

    My cousin lives in a town called Poiters and he is a carp angler and he tells me his local river that runs through his city contains lots of Barbel with "odd fish to 5 or 6 kilos, average fish 3 kilo" claims they're a pain when he's fishing for carp

    Is it all negotiable with a barrow, carrying my carryall, chair, rod sling, bait bag full of bait, drinks and lunch is far too much to be carrying these days, what's the longest walk
