Are those circle hooks any good for using with small roach half baits or bleak? Or should I use small trebles Ive got some 10lb soft strand to make a trace. Must give it a go…

Well done Graham, Was it caught with a dead bait?

I innocently sent my first barbel picture to the angling times in 1993 when I worked for the electricity board, Never again! They added their caption and it started to appear on the walls of all the works offices with moustaches, glasses and speech bubbles with “somethings fishy ear” coming out...

Altogether now…

I read Andrews post “floats” on Wednesday with interest, his big floats for big baits. Had such a bad season last year locating fish with the ledger rods, thought perhaps trundling a big bait down a deep lower Severn swim might help searching them out! So, being bored during lockdown I...

WOW!!! You boys can’t be married!

Difficult isn’t it, To say what’s right or wrong, Sure everyone who decides to travel think it’s just a few minutes more in a car, how can that hurt anybody which I think is true, But I can’t ...my conscience won’t allow me! Aarrrgh!! Then the frustration sets in.... So.....what...
