To the kitchen?🤔

Now in my time of life, I can actually afford top quality gear if I wanted to go down that route. But from as as a kid I had to make do with mostly home made rods and reels that were round but that was the only thing they resembled a 'pin'., And who remembers making your all in one bank stick...

It's then just a state of mind not the state of your tackle that counts? I agree there should be no compromise with reels line end tackle, but really a 12ft a rod such as a 2lb t.c Korum is perfectly adequate and for me rather liberating the the cost is c.£100 as opposed to £400. If I happened...

To be honest I can never see why such concerns over very expensive carbon is that much better than any off the shelf rods, especially when chucking heavy leads into big rivers such as the Severn or Trent? Sure I get the reasons why big money is spent on float rods where balance and action is...

Agree the scary sweetcorn thing is quite a thing, maybe the colour yellow or whatever they see is a danger signal.?

Happy days Darren, my fishing gear was very basic back then, I was an impoverished father of three boys and my job was managing the Cirencester Electricity Board shop, which at least gave me every Tuesday off. Those day's off were put to good use in the summer at Bradley's mostly and the old...

Para Para Pragraphs . I literally fainted 😵‍💫

Just ordered Atlantic Heat, noticed their new unit is just behind where we lived in South Cerney. Do you ever have that thought "Why did I move"? Some fantastic Tench fishing; although not quite the same now is it Tim? Bradleys before the Watermark thing was all mine back then 😉

Which is why the old hospital matrons insisted the patients well intentioned flowers were removed at night.😕 In fact plants at night emit Carbon Dioxide.

Love Blackcaps, If you desire a more accurate deposit on the river bed, just tape up the body, and leave the ends free.

Hi Phil👍 good to hear from you again, maybe wrong but I thought you gave up fishing? Hopefully if that was so you have seen sense 🙂

8mm.

Thing is there are not enough Barbel at the moment to shoal and be a feeding frenzie on the feed, also by introducing large amounts we are bringing in unwanted attention from Bream😮 The Wye and middle upper severn are more aligned to carpet bombing I would think. I too use pve bags which gives...

All of th All main diet for most species so yes of course, that's why bait companies replicate such attraction in their baits. It's just not very convenient having to forage for bait. My local river have a huge amount of mussel below a weir, and Chub and Barbel feast on them at night, in the...

👍

Ahh beat me to it 😁

Not really natural but was thinking of trying cooked mussels, just recently some clips on youtube as to their effectiveness with carp.

Yes agreed those reel fittings were very 60's kit builds.

With you on that Jon, just to think many civvies would give their right arm just to glimpse an Otter in the wild. But they are incredible and for me although can ruin a session they are now embedded into our rivers and we can hope there is now a sustainable balance. It's not what you can see...
