Nice one matey :)

Thats good going Dean. Got any pics to put up ?

Nice Graham - We like piccies :)

Very nice Paul. You did say night didn't you ;):D Sorry, I can't recommend a good net, mine is currently being destroyed too. I'm considering a Lumby replacement mesh though and hope this will do the job...

If you are so passionate about this Lee, why not investigate setting up your own club rather than try to change an existing ? (use old BAA sections if need be - there are lots about, should be cheap too) There appears to be a lot of interest from other Barbel anglers.

I've had a few more Zeds out of the canal this week. Most on the small size, 1-2lb, and if truth be told, many 'micro' sized fish would have been banked too if I scaled down for them. I can't believe the number of hits I'm getting from these little buggers. Bite marks clearly show that they can...

Out of interest do you think its the same fish you had back in January 2011? https://barbel.co.uk/site/vbulletin/forum/other-species-fishing/2841-22lb-pike-river-tees-30-01-11-a.html My IE isn't displaying your other snap so I can't do a markings comparison.:(

Ideal rods for anyone seriously considering a bash at Zander Chub S Plus 12' 2.5lb Carp fishing rod | eBay 3 available

Its my new venue, Victoria Falls ;) Not a good pic as I forgot to engage the close up function :o but here is the tagged fish I had just unhooked it when my other bait was taken. I kept the little one in the net as I wanted to remove the tag. So I ended up with two together. :)

Well done mate. I'm staying away just now until it drops out a bit (if it ever does) Give me a shout if you are in the vacinity to wet a line on the cut.

Very nice Jim, well done :)

What a difference a day makes ! Same swim, same method, same time period, same baits (well, same species - you know what I mean) same, same, same .................except the catch. :( 1 Pike (8lb) Sort of proves the theory of Zeds following the fish shoals. I didn't get any hits/dropped...

New canal PB Desperate to get back on the river but not whilst its carrying this extra water. :( Steve

Yep they were defo about but wouldn't or couldn't pick up a dead. I'm not sure my presentation was great though. Poss needs a bit of work. Had an afternoon on the cut today. One Zed of 6.12. That's my 4th 6lb+ from here. Desperate for something bigger :D

Just back from a 24 hr river session targetting what ever was about really, and can report my FIRST lure caught RIVER ZED :) This one (of the three that have been hooked :mad:) totally engulfed a 5" Big Hammer Atomic Punk Shad. In fact I was a bit worried seeing it approaching the net as the...

But not today .................. I found my usual 'close to home' pegs very coloured after yesterdays rain and after a couple of hours lost confidence. So I figured a trip to another area a good idea. On the new area, fishing deads, I had 8 hits, of which only 3 took any line, and only 1...

Its probably reflecive of other 'similar' waters Steve? I really should be a bit more pioneering and spend time on other areas as its such a big water, but with the lure (excuse the pun) of the 7rn and, in my experience, very few micro's, its probably not going to happen. Can't complain though...

Well with the river unfishable right now I had to revert to the back up venue. Fished 11-6 and had 3 fish (2 Zeds and 1 Pike) all around 3lb :o If I ever get a double out of there it will be a miracle I may be trying again tomorrow though :(

This is true Graham and it's easier if braid main is used instead of mono. I find I don't have to do anything other than tighten up and lean into the fish. My 'strikes' are nowhere near as forceful as when I was using mono. ;) As David said - Plenty of S/H 2.25 rods appear on the bay. I'd go...
