Iv only ever caught 3 6’s and 2 of those came 5 days apart. Never had anything over 5lb other than them 3. I don’t tend to catch that many chub though to be fair

I still post in the river captures but changed my fishing over the last 5 years from fishing easy stretches to not so easy but bigger fish to pretty dam hard for the last 2 years. I used to fish last few hours on an evening 3 times + a week but now tend to do 1 or 2 sessions a week but longer...

Me and a mate considered starting a bait company 15+ years ago. We brought a load of rolling tablets and different ingredients to make baits to test out but without an air powered gun it was a mission to roll any kind of amount and we were too poor to get a setup capable of making big quantities...

Had my korum bag since 2020 and Had no problem with it. I’d say it’s way betther than the last bag. Only downside I would say is straps are a little tight depending on your size but could get around that if needed

My mate had the record in one of the lakes years ago. He was vexed it wasn’t a carp but took a photo anyway. The bailiff informed him in the morning and asked for the picture for the website. He told me about it and how annoyed he was at the time and said to have a look at the website at the...

I use an old 3 led energiser that even with new batteries isn’t particularly bright. But I only use the red light until I come to play a fish and even then I turn it on briefly to help me get to the edge of the bank without falling in and occasionally to see where the line is going if I think...

Iv got one of them in my fishing bag lol. The strap is a bit uncomfortable though

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I was always under the impression that below a certain depth the water temperature stays around 4 degrees all year round. And I think that depth is around 8 feet. Doubt that transfers to running water though as surely it’s always mixing together

Had no idea you could get heated bags. To be fair I brought a 4 season bag with a peach skin throw years ago when I used to do a bit of carp fishing and I used to get too hot in that. Minus 5 is probably the coldest I fished in but even then I was down to tshirt and shorts and had to remove my...

That’s amazing. I occasionally get them on my rods. Only ever got a picture once and that was cause I had my phone in my hand at the time. Never had one land on my head though lol

I use longer hooklinks if I’m fishing upstream compared to down to try keep it further away from the main line. Lead wise I use heavy enough to keep a slight bend in the rod. I prefer a tighter line to keep the line off the bottom and away from the hook link. I know others prefer to let off...

Looks like a black version of this

About 25 blanks in a row for me on the lower Severn this season til I caught. Probably 20 of them I didn’t have so much as a roach fart on my bait my rod tips stayed that stationary. Gradually started getting knocks and million rig tweaks eventually landed me some fish

Yodel were meant to deliver mine yesterday between 5:32 and 7:32. Used the tracking number to see where it was at about 2 o’clock and it said it was 44 stops away. That never changed all night and went to bed at half 10 with it still saying the same. They delivered it today at 12:30 this...

I packed up about 45 minutes after this pic and by that point you couldn’t see the opposite bank. Packing my stuff up with the head lamp on you could only see about 6 foot infront of yourself. Driving home was crazy. Never driven is such thick fog before

Gone a bit misty but still bright on the lower Severn

Ultima red ice or red mist. One or the other. First red line I used was the tfg one that I got from go fishing show at nec for a fiver years ago

Going to be a cold evening on the lower Severn me thinks

I started using micro barbed last year after never using barbed before due to losing 1 in 3 fish to hook pulls most of which were when I’d got the fish to within a rod length out. I’d started using new rods at the start of the season and that’s the only thing I could put it down to. My old rod...

Yeah to be fair Iv sacked them off til it gets cold. Gone back to my army gortex. Still wearing shorts for work but recon I’d freeze on a night sat by the river in shorts lol
