Thanks for all your replies folks. Sorry I kinda ducked out of the discussion but I have been swamped in a stew of trying to teach myself how to use Photoshop and learning how to create a new website at the same time. Anyway, I've taken everyone's comments on board and now feel suitably informed...

Thanks Stephen, I'll look into that. Chris, so what's your verdict re. the G12?

Thanks Dave....... 'orribly expensive I can do without but there seem to be some incredibly reduced prices on the internet.

Unfortunately my Cannon Power Shot G6 seems to have given up the ghost with the LCD no longer working in various settings. Apparently Cannon no longer make spare G6 LCDs so it looks like I'm going to buy a replacement. The reason I bought a G6 was because of the flip around LCD function, though...

Behave, Lush!!!

Wow, I want one of those.

Too many years ago to mention I was fishing a Kentish tench lake with my mate Jim when two adolescent 'local experts' strolled along and proceeded to tell us all about how good the fishing was. Eventually one of them informed us that Chris Turnbull fishes here and I'm sorry to say that I...

I've just got back from my hols and seen this thread..... well done Steve, that is a fish that will take some beating!

Or if it worries you that much, you could offer your services by becoming a bailiff.

Not the hookbait, but the freebies, yes. About 4 years ago I had a 16lb plus fish taking half boilies as soon as I dropped them into the water.

Or maybe your line is stretchier than mine, Colin?

11 feet 2ins :D

Well, my second paragraph was intended to sort of answer that but..... who cares if the fish get damaged, because we can always blame someone else!:rolleyes:

If Trev has done and said things which leave questions..... and he's big and ugly enough to argue his own defense! I've also seen loads of anglers fishing for tench in weedy swims that they loose more fish than they land from.... it's wrong but that don't stop them.... Then when all the tench...

Who has suggested that? I've not studied every single word on this thread but I've not seen anyone suggest that it is okay for TV stars to snag fish but not for ordinary anglers to do so?

In my experience, in the long run, all that hook and hold snag-tree tactics manage to achieve is to make the barbel increasingly spooky making it increasingly difficult to draw them out to settle on the bait. The main element to catching barbel is to get them feeding confidently and, in doing...

Its sounding better all the time.

Mmmmmmm...... Its sounding like it could be better than I'd hoped?

I've just booked a couple of weeks holiday in Crete well away from the popular holiday destinations. Our apartment is virtually on the beach with plenty of rocky coves nearby and also a small fishing harbour. So I am wondering will it be worth taking a travel rod with me. The little bit of info...

It's not very common in my experience and is usually connected with the use of rather long hooklengths.
