    Photographic help please

    I just use the 'clone' brush (the double paintbrush symbol) and pick a nondescript bit of background. You then click on it and it copy's that bit of background to where you put the marker.... You can hold the button down and 'paint' the copied background all over an area.... Sounds difficult...

    It was working.... I suspect they have changed the settings so you have to view it via the Angling Times web site... I've changed the link.... Steve

    useless kit

    Some good replies to the original question, but sadly its gone off tract now, despite some posters trying their best to keep things going in the right direction, so closing the thread now. Apologies to Mark. Can I suggest that if you have nothing constructive to say on a thread, then don't...

    He's ? Back

    I don't think for one second it's the same seal. I also refuse to call it anything other than a seal... Steve

    Baitrunners, quiver tips and hooking fish?

    The bream I catch struggle to move themselves never mind shift a lead or pull line off a bait runner.... Certainly sounds like chub bites to me. I'd tighten the bait runner a little and wait for a 'proper' pull round.... Steve

    Baitrunners, quiver tips and hooking fish?

    Sounds like Chub to me, rather than Barbel. I'm guessing you are hair rigging pellet/boilies? I've generally found that once a Barbel sucks a bait into its mouth it is hooked. I've never found them to have the ability to 'eject' rigs. Other then that, you could have a problem with your...

    Unleaded leaders

    Not helpful I know, but I've only found lead core a hindrance rather than a help. It seems to 'encourage' the lead to find a snag much easier when using lead core. I suspect this is because the mainline is kept low down in the water due to the lead core, and this in turn means the mainline finds...

    Hello!

    Welcome Russell. I have a mate from Biggleswade. Fished the Ivel with him a couple of times, but we never seem to catch when I go...... or maybe he's not as good as he tries to make out he is.... lol Steve

    Great Ouse Barbel Study

    Isn't that a tracker? The post was referring to a tag, or micro chip. Steve

    Great Ouse Barbel Study

    You don't need anesthetic (do you anesthetist a fish before you strike the hook home?). We recently had a consignment of Carp stocked into one of our lakes and all the fish were micro-chipped. It was a very quick and easy procedure, and I'm assuming it would be the same on any other fish. Steve
