    Okuma Pulzar 4000

    I'm the same as you my dad was always moaning when he opened the van in the morning to see my tackle and asked if we had a busy day then. I've had 2 fox eos reels since September last year and have stood the test of time for me. Abuse in the van and on the bank. No barbel on them but plenty of...

    Is my river fit to play in ?

    Depending on who controls the stretch of water they may have to have a small craft licence. I think swimming will be free thou. A complete pain in the arse most of them some are ok. Bit like cyclist on the road 🤣

    Aldi

    Couldn't be arsed to go to a store and rummage about so ordered it on line and got free delivery with free returns. I have hundreds of coats it was just the bottoms I was after.

    So long 2020-21 season.

    I came late to the barbel scene last year. Not until late September my obsession for barbel took hold. I tried locally on the nene of countless reports here and there but to no avail. Caught some cracking chub thou along the way. The biggest being 5lb 4. Which is my pb now. Tried the gt ouse...

    Is my river fit to play in ?

    Most of it in our area was from 2019 when we had major floods. But reading how much sewage came out over the period of time is disgusting tbh

    Bream

    I quite enjoy bream fishing esp this time of year. I must agree about the stink and slime thou. They sometimes put a bit more of a fight this time of year only a little thou 🤣.

    Hello. Couldn't agree more that this site has been invaluable with help. I am also blanking at the min with barbel but getting a few along the way. Its nice to be on the bank. But I do feel for those who can't at the minute for several reasons

    Waterlogged

    The stretches of nene and ise i try to throw a line into are up and down like a yoyo at the minute. The nene doesn't even drop to a fishable experience the ise is just bearable. Luckily work is busy and everytime I drive past certain spots I feel a little better about it 🤣🤣

    Waterlogged

    Yes I hate it. All my hopeful spots on the nene have been majorly flooded for over a month now. I just end up buying stuff on the Internet because I can't get out 🤣🤣
