    Question for Thamesters.

    How many of you pre-bait if fishing the Thames or do you just turn up with big smelly glugged baits? I know a couple of chaps that prebait but they live quite close to where they fish but they have had some nice fish out. Plus always the chance that someone is in your baited swim when you...

    Spicing up meat

    Like this.......... Use the meat punch on a tin of spam and then cut the pieces of meat in half. Hair rig using meat stops, cant remember what make they are tho im afraid. Use the off-cuts from the tin to put in PVA bags and attach to the hook. Been very effective for me on smaller...

    Flying Radios....

    Last night, I managed to cast my DAB radio into the river! I had just returned a 4lb Chub and i was concentrating on hitting the same spot and as I cast I felt something heavy and then saw my radio flying through the air. I started to wind in and my hook had wrapped around the end of the ariel...

    Crab or Lobster boilies?

    Have caught on both and just about to put an order in for 10k but cant decide which to get. Trying to stick to just one bait this season and also to be able to use it for a little carping. It will be spicy with garlic and made by Carp Company. Would you go for crab or Lobster?
