Think you are right just a bit low ,thanks anyway.

Trouble is I have really bad Arthritis in both my thumb joints so cannot grip with my thumbs. A rod in one hand, landing net in the other are fine but any extra weight and I get like electric shocks through my hands.

Went out to my car this morning to find some Scrote had got in and stolen my 20 + year old chub chair, I kept in my boot. What upsets me is it was ideal for roving, you could put it over your head and have both hands free. Like Triggers Broom it was on its third cover since original and had...

Was it any of these Derek ? , hopefully it has the person who bought it and you can message them, maybe Andy Foxall ?. He is possibly on Facebook too, friend of Steve pope. If he does not get your message via BFW maybe try via FB messaging. ...

Sitting quietly fishing for Chub last night on a local river a fish kept moving about 2ft from the bank in very shallow water. Last week in the same swim a tail sticking out of the water in the same spot had ended up with a chub of 6lb 10oz. I again wound in my cheesepaste and lowered it...

I thought NRW are jointly to blame along with the EA but it does not mention NRW

Really great bloke and innovator such a sad loss.

When I go to Australia to visit family I always fish off the local Port Noarlunga jetty for them. Great coming back after a few hours and making Chilli squid for everyone with a decent salad and some chips from the local chippy. Last year someone posted on Facebook a video taken from the...

Think similar has been going on for years. I remember a local Barbel Society talk about 25 years ago when a top predator angler admitted rehooking big Scandinavian Pike onto Rapala lures for publicity photographs. The trip included a visit to the Rapala factory and might have been sponsored by...

Just a few things that get to me, not sure its OCD but they are things I always do. If roving a small river and the lead goes in too heavily I reel in and walk to my next swim. Does not happen often but my thought is that I have killed that swim for an hour so its not worth me wasting my next 20...

Getting lots of these funny looking Gudgeon ;););) from a local river, perfection in miniature.

There are a number of small centrepin looking Ice fishing reels on Ebay etc, Would be ideal ...

Their 200 solid PVA, 10 x 13 cm bags for £4.88 are really good quality at a silly price if you are after some

When I first fished it Harris had no cover and after seeing a good catch from the outflow swim (which had a little bit of cover ) I realised I had to make up what I called my pontoon to create my own marginal cover. Two 9ft plastic Uptider rod tubes were connected together with 3 sections of 3...

Looking at the video I cannot see the twig bang the hook home and the two stems opening up on any of the takes. It still looks like its closed after the fish run and they are hooking themselves against the heavy lead.

No not the E clip Richard , I mean the black clip on the first photo that holds the ratchet pin in place . That looks like its almost designed for the job

Did see these fixes for a broken ratchet spring repair, the first one looks more reliable than a new spring. Do not know what the clip is called though, anyone know ?

Barbel Burping by massaging was something my Dad showed me many years ago. Its often worked for me. A mate Paul had an issue early in the morning on the Kennet about 15 years ago. No matter what he did the big barbel could not right itself. After many hours and losing a days pay he phoned a...

I did very well when it first opened for a couple of years by creating my own marginal shade back then because it was bare. These days its more established so try to fish a swim with marginal cover for crucians. Fish Harris lake if you want to target the crucians. I used to do very well about...

I think he fishes from his boat.
