I must say I think it's snake oil, ask any dinner lady what kids prefer & it's junk food..So some are trying to say a barbel is more food savvy than a young child or most adults for that matter.. Probably the best barbel/fish bait ever is maggots are they HNV..

I've been a member a few years now & found it to be a really well run club, with Steve & Tony in particular to be very helpful.. Hope it all sorts itself out.

I take protein because I know it's good for me..does a barbel? Given the choice between say fish & chips & a high protein meal most people would go for the former, I maybe wrong. I know a lot of lads who get a fried spam sandwich :eek: is a barbel more educated? Probably ;)

in fairness you've got to feel sympathy, if a guy has to be home to make dinner for the wife & cant enjoy a good night session ;)

Hi Anthony that is probably what was happening with mine.. The socks are a well made piece of kit but when worn with my Muck boots made my feet cold.

I have some Sealskin socks but not sure about them as they keep the moisture in as well as out..

Wharfe fish for me, a good fish for this time of year from a rock hard river.

Double T bait pouch, cracking bit of kit & well made.

One of the main safety issues regarding any water sport is learn to swim. It's never too late, my late father in law started swimming in his late 50's. Most sport centres run adult swimming courses & they can be fun,don't feel foolish.. I had a double figure barbel go belly up on a flooded...

Hinders blitz have worked for me over the past few years..although they (Hinders) seem to have altered them slightly this last season or so..Anyone know if this is fact or am I just been paranoid?:confused:

Too right Alex..funny how they never make a show called "Customers from hell" I could give 'em hundreds, probably our Dave's a prime candidate!

Classic..whatever these guys took at Uni it wasn't Spam;)

If you can get hold of a Harrison snag & flood rod:) they are 11ft 6" & would be perfect for what you described..The stalker rods are ok but the extra length allows you to keep the fish away from bankside snags..you should be able to pick one up second hand for £80/£100. Good luck.

Quite right Mike, for gods sake he's just a nipper:rolleyes:

Hmm exactly Rhys...the plot thickens:) Does look a beast, but another long arm shot..When was it caught?:confused:

I find Dock leaves the best a** wipe tbh..
