Hi Brian
As I said earlier I think I am definitely losing it. God knows where I got November from.
Anyway hope you will be able to come along on Sunday. Much better than those car boot sales you go to.

Hi Damian
You never know what turns up from old cane rods to modern carbon, centrepins, fixed spool reels both old and new. Stuffed fish, books float makers, a real variety of stuff. It depends what the sellers bring along. Garry Mills is always there. Normally about 30 or more sellers...
Not sure it's the correct forum but next Sunday

Doors open at 9 am and finishes about 12: 30 pm.
It's not just vintage gear but lots of modern stuff too.
Always some surprises as to what is on offer.

Hi Graham
I fished yesterday but on the backstream as main river still to much flow and even the trout stream was strong flowing.
Surprisingly a lot of roach appeared and had a few over the 1lb mark. Normally it's hard work even to get one or two.
Avon and Stour mostly still unfishable except...
Graham I originally bought a pair of these for tench fishing but I have been using one of them for floater fishing for medium size carp and have been very happy with it.
Have had good fun catching fish up to 22lb and look forward to using it again once the river season is over.

As with previous posts I also have a Volvo XC90 2019. Great car though it's a diesel but carries all my gear no problem.
Drives well with various gadgets that I mostly don't use. Laughed when I first bought it as it has head up display and heated steering wheel.
Now I love them and will have...
Excellent
Thanks very much for that.
I just love centrepins and even though I am winding down my collection I am always tempted when something different comes along.
Never met Chris but have spoken with him and had repairs etc done by him.

For someone new to trotting with a pin there is one consideration I would definitely mention.
The butt ring on the rod should be relatively close to the reel fittings.
For me it makes casting with a pin so much easier.
A couple of years ago I purchased an 11' Shakespeare to fish a small...
