What TC are you looking for, John ??

I've never seen Barbel spawning on the sections I fish, Neil. There aren't many area's suitable for it TBH, odd bits, but not many. We aren't allowed to be on the bank during the close season either (the club change the locks, allegedly) So no fish spotting or baiting up. I'll miss it when I'm...

There is Barbel there, Neil. Not many and I just can't catch them. So for me, its money better spent elsewhere. Further downstream. 👍 I tried, but it didn't come off. Hey ho.

It's £100 now, Neil. They put it up from £80 last year.

They weren't interested, Joe. Even though I'd followed the correct procedure with regards putting a motion forward, and receiving confirmation that it would be heard at the AGM, it wasn't even included on the agenda. I gave my side of the argument, but they just said that anyone could ask for a...

LOL. Well lets just say that the BMAA won't be having a river only ticket next season. After looking at the Agenda when I first got there, I noticed my motion was missing from it. I had to have a word with the Secretary and Chairman and got them to add it to the agenda as it had been...

Hi @Andrew Burt Just a thought, but could the 11grm float body be turned into a stubby waggler with the addition of plastic waggler insert, like this ?? Or even a small bit of Cane. https://www.dbanglingsupplies.co.uk/plastic-insert-for-peacock-wagglers or even better, an adjustable waggler...

Not a great year Barbel wise for me. Nothing again off the upper Trent, bar the usual Chub I seem to catch on every session. Fished the Dove once, and caught - you've guessed it - Chub. Moved further downstream on the Trent, and still caught Chub. An unintentional Pike PB whilst rolling meat was...

Fabulous picture, as always. He has the look of a man that's just had a blank. :)

My state of the art hook tying machine back in the days I was still match fishing.

Our bleeding Cat brings then into the house alive, then proceeds to let them go and just watch them. The last one was under a cabinet in the hall. Eventually caught it in the kitchen after it made a run for it. Cat was asleep on the bed. I find the hoover is a good way of catching them if...

......Or the buckets the carp guys use. Camo green and very expensive for what they are. We recycle/chuck buckets away at work. I use them.

I was at a local commercial a few years ago, I gone to have a look as one of my mates was fishing the match there. I stayed for the weigh in and watched some of the lads pack up. One guy packed away his two pole rollers, put each of them into their own bag, then proceeded to put them both into...

I must have walked round with my eyes closed for the last 35 years.

I really have no opinion either way as to whether big cats are loose in the UK. They could be, there might not be any. But. For the last 35 years, I've worked on the Electricity power lines, getting to the remotest parts of our area, admittingly, not the moors, but pretty much out the way of...

Is there too much choice nowadays regarding tackle, rods especially ?? I've got 4 rods I use for Barbel fishing. I know very little about custom fitting, but I'm happy with what I've got. If I were to get some rods made, and they weren't what I was expecting, or as good as what I've already...

I'm 6' 3" and with all the XC90 seats folded down, and the front seats all the way forward, I could lay flat out and sleep in the back.

Last two, Peter...
