Sad news. Can remember him on carp forum years ago then remember him popping up on here after deciding to have a go at barbel again. Pretty sure someone helped him bag an 11lber as his first fish. RIP Gerry

It’s dropping again now so should be ok. Need to careful on the banks now though as the rivers still high and the banks will be slippy

It may have burst the banks by then I’d have a look before you venture out. If you can fish I’d probably start with 4oz and don’t cast too far out as you’ll just drift back into the banks whatever weight lead you stick on

I use Nash claw in size 4

Severn stokes your best bet down there. Some lumps come out of there. Lots of bream and chub as well.

As Neil says you won’t bag up as the aim is to target the bigger fish but you’d be surprised how small some of the fish are you catch. Obviously if your baits been out a while and been getting pecked away at by the small fish it will eventually become small enough for small barbel to fit in...

I normally use the 250 gram tins and get 3 pieces out of it. Sometimes I cut it other times I’ll tear it off. With the 200 gram tins of spam I’ll more than often just spit it down the middle and have 2 pieces

Only downside fishing with meat is eels. I always use a piece big enough that they can’t fit it in their mouth in one bit to try avoid hooking them but they’ll still get hooked eventually if there’s nothing else about to take the meat off them. Smallest eel I ever caught was pretty much the size...

I get what you’re saying. I normally only fish one rod but will occasionally fish 2 if there’s enough room for 2. I don’t know why but it annoys me when I see people fishing 2 rods in really tight swims. It’s probably cause in the case of a double hook up one of them will probably end up...

When I first got into night fishing for carp we used to fish a pretty easy lake that wasn’t that busy. We used to see these 2 lads there every so often and they used to bring a big tv with a massive aerial they used to set up. You used to have to park in the car park at the bottom end of the...

If there had of been a big cat in there it would have no problem in catching me. I was literally on my last legs thinking I was about to have a heart attack and had decided if the car wasn’t round the next bend I was gonna have to put my gear down and have a rest. Thankfully that was the last...

If you’re lucky you can park by the post office (I’m assuming you still can, I haven’t been down there for a while) and that will save you a bit of walk rather than parking in the car park

As Cliff said park at arley and walk. I measured on a map once and it’s probably equal distance as walking down through the woods but it’s basically flat. That walk back up the hill is horrendous. I honestly thought I was gonna die when I did it. I was soaked to the bone as well as I didn’t...

Think it’s a bit of both. Iv landed fish and still had half the meat slid up the hooklink. Iv even slid it back down and recast the remaining meat and caught another fish. First time I ever used half a big tin of spam I caught the smallest pencil thin eel Iv ever caught

Evening for me. Last hour of light into dark. Most productive time generally as well

I’m guessing they’ve got the diversion up to stourport as that would be the easiest route for any lorries that need to get into town

Iv not been into bewdley for a bit so unsure what direction the bridge is closed but know you can cross the river on the bypass and assume you can enter the town from the top somewhere or exit the town at the top and come back down the bypass

Love the Waze app. It sends you on some proper random routes when the traffic is heavy but always the quickest way. I remember a couple of years back the motorway was shut so everyone was taking the back roads. We got to one point down this country lane where it goes to one car width and was...

Can you not go up the bewdley bypass instead of going all the way up to stourport?

Is that a strip club?
