Very True Rich, but, just the day before yesterday a friend was telling me how he spoke to an "angler" who was quite happy about the fact that he had scaled right down for bites. Only to lose "6" barbel and land "5", he had to leave the river because he had "ran out of hooks"!!:confused: The...

My friends say that I am a bit mad when it comes to catching Barbel, but I don`t like losing them if I can really help it. No doubt everyone agrees?? I have put a new blog in the "Blogs" pages, and yes I had a SPLASHING time!!:(:D

Good Luck and Tight lines to everyone wherever you are fishing this new season, stay safe and enjoy.:)

It is very true there are lots of options out there and they all work for different reasons on different days, we all have choice. ;) Have now posted yesterday to the Blog page..:)

Of the 3 different types of pellet available to me today on the river, (left overs from the season) the fish went mad for the good old "E"lips! In several swims they moved noticeably more for them - than the others. Maybe because of the oils and the water temp at present combined?? (13 degrees)...

That sounds like a lovely challenge Neil, when the weather`s right!:)

Sounds like I will be like a kid in a sweet shop! Steve You will be Steve, have a great holiday! :)

Good point Rhys! :confused:

Money Money Money.....;)

Sorry David, I didnt mean to offend!!;)

Give it go, somewhere you can "see" what they think and how they react. It would be interesting to know as some say all line looks the same, regardless of colour, when in the water.

It`s a good step Steve, and i for one shall try calling the "Trust" this close season before the E.A, as they were useless last close, and the one before!!

Cracker. Well done Roman.

Very true Mark. Nice picture too.:)

Don`t we all like clean fresh water Dave? ;)

Thanks Keith, I like to think myself a trend setter:D Not.

Exactly, Mark. It is a little more contraversial as it is a claimed record.

I have had the fish at 12lb 6oz, and that was a couple of seasons ago in Nov. I understand from what I have learned, that a Barbel`s weight can very quite a lot. And that they can lose and gain for various reasons at quick speeds, but if the fish (distinctive as it is) has never been caught near...
