Happy Birthday mucker....don't spend too long after them fish as your legs will go to sleep :)

I'm in need of a butt section for a Drennan Specialist Power Barbel rod if anyone has one they no longer need?? ***SORTED NOW THANKS*** Go steady Paul

As I go through blank spells (Fairly regularly I'm afraid!!) I always tell myself that each blank session is getting me closer to the next red letter fish as opposed to further away from the last one.... ....seems to make me feel a little better about the situation :) One thing I will...

Nice one :)

Martin, Will watch this one with anticipation....I fancy knocking up a stalker using the top section of a 12 footer with a handle attached but have no idea how to remove the handle from the bottom section and was going to ask the forum for ideas.... Paul

Wow !!!!! Paul

I always add salt to my base mixes for boilies/pastes and for that matter to my hempseed too.... ....is there much difference between rock/road salt and table salt?? and perhaps more importantly, will a fish be able to detect it?? Paul

How do the Barbel "sense" the small percentage of road salt in the water?? Can they "smell" it at such a low dilution?? Paul

We've really got to encourage him to kick off a new series of diaries.... ....once I'd had them pointed out to me - I got the coffee on and sat and read them all spitting Nescafe and biscuits at the PC screen as I went:D:D:D Come on Nick - your talents are required to cheer us up mucker;)...
