Is this any good for Barbel? I have used it for carp previously years ago, but never considered using it for barbel

Not much beats seeing a pike float slide under the surface

I always use bite alarms for my barbel fishing as im always using 2 rods, that is unless im roving with 1 rod, then ill watch the rod tip.

interesting to read your thoughts, I have caught using Mono, braid and flouro, who knows if I would have caught more in them situations using something different :D

Luck is certainly all I need :cool: Its run on a day ticket of £10 for 1 rod as far as I can see on the website.

It could be a lot of things, but my original question was how do you choose what hooklength material to use? For example, when would you choose mono over braid. Or coated braid over fluoro?

There are certainly fish being caught from the areas I’m fishing, but it’s all very hush hush and no one really talks about their captures so it’s difficult to know true numbers caught

River Kennett that was run by Cemex. Not sure who runs it now

Whilst looking for areas to Christen my new camper van, I have discovered Lucksall holiday park on the banks of the River Wye, anyone fished here?

I’ve never been there, it’s a 7hr round trip for me, so I kinda wanna know I’m gonna catch something before venturing all that way, although I’m fishing nothing is guaranteed

Seems a bit strange that they would charge for a camper but not for a normal van!!

Bobs Island looks real nice, definately on the short list 👍👍

Is that including the River pegs mate?? On their website there is only mention of parking campers on the lake?

Thanks James, there is no mention of the Trent fishing on their website at all really apart from the day ticket price, so Ill email them 👍

I have just bought a VW camper van and want to plan a few weekend trips with me, my missus and the dog. Would ideally like some places where I can park up and fish out of the van, its going to more about my and the missus just being away, but ideally I want to catch some barbel too. Any...

I think they are more targetted at the long stay anglers, who once set up, dont move.

I wouldnt use them myself, too bulky to carry. As I said I prefer my Korum mat, folders up and easy enough to take a dunk in the water.

I have fished the park area by the runnymead hotel before, but never fished above that.

By cradles, do you mean the metal framed cradles that are raised off the ground? I use a Korum Multi mat with sides, but I will always dunk it in the river/lake before putting a fish on it regardless of the air temperature.
