Some fantastic tincas being caught, well done to all. My usual closed season foray onto the park lakes for Tinca just hasnt taken off yet. Alot of pressure from the carpers combined with too many cold nights has had me accumulating nigh on 100 hours of blanks! I did have one session were i...

Just had a look at the available EA data from from all rivers north of the Humber and it looks like the only wels catfish that has come out on one of their surveys in the last 30yrs was a 50cm wels found up at Wilfholme landing on the Hull, in 2001. Didn't expect that. Just found this pic of a...

Welcome to the site Chris.

Interesting logic there Mr. Price. What a numpty.

Yorkshire Derwent on a scorching day.

Last summer on the Rye Plenty of company. Are you local? Licked the car to death and took a windmirror with them?😂

Usually 10mm at most. I've also been using baitscrews the last year, just simply tied on a normal hair rig, not D or multi rig style. I like the fact no matter the size of bait you want to put on the distance between hook and bait stays the same, very useful. Also offers more natural movement...

Favourite maggot flavourings of mine are Red Cap, curry powder/turmeric and aniseed. For groundbait, for bream, brasem caramel, for roach, ground coriander seed and everything else, just more fishmeal.

Great work by the AT. Am lucky that 99% of my fishing is done locally, within 5 miles, so no problem for me there.

Thanks Joe and It certainly is. So close to civilization but still full of wildlife. Tis the Hull (with a bit of extra water on), fed by chalkstream but essentially a small tributary of the Humber.

The scene from my last two blanks.

Hull and Hull 👍 Been otters up this way for at least 30 years, but they must have to work hard for their prey as it's usually very coloured and ploughing through on the more tidal stretches, where the Barbel tend to reside.

In my neck of the woods I guess we're 'lucky' that it's the Seals coming up from the estuary we have to worry about, at least more so than the Otters.

I'm confused, surely that means they are hunting for live fish less in that area? Obviously feeding them away from Barbel hotspots would be best but if their diets are supplemented by us won't that reduce their feeding on fish stocks? Maybe I'm missing something..

North ridge convect merino from Go Outdoors are £24 for long sleeve or £22.50 for short. I pair a long sleeve one with a thin Cottontraders Lambswool jumper and tend to only need a wind breaker or waterproof over the top to keep toasty.

That's good to hear Dave. I'm surprised there aren't more companies selling wellies using this material and all seem to be under £50 too. They are almost unnervingly light aren't they, like if you fell in you'd soon be upside down 😅 They are rather chunky Mike but one of those items when you...

I work in a large Outdoor retail store, with a fishing department, we sell muck boots and I am forever hearing they are not as good as they used to be. I've also lost count of the number of anglers that have bought the Navitas Lite Insulated boots as an alternative and swear by them, insulated...

I'd be interested to read that @Ady Brayshaw as this side of the discussion often seems to be missing.

Youd have to ask the seller Neil. Looks like the cork is still on the handle but thats no marker of use these days.
