    Perch

    Hi Anthony, Yes, they are definately in shoals. To be honest, I came across a couple of spots by pure accident about three years ago, ie, I was pike fishing on reasonably sized plastics and had a 3.15 perch, then a couple of other big ones. I then went back to these spots with a float and...

    Perch

    A first session on a 60 acre pit yesterday in serach of the billies. One bite on float fished lob resulted in this tidy fish.... Another 3 weeks and we'll start fishing our Thames spots for them. Loads of 3's last year and one 4 for a WBC member so hopefully we'll see some little...

    Winter suites.......

    I've just bought some new winter gear having researched many things online. To be honest I've had a lot of the fishing brands down the years and IMHO most of it is rubbish. If I'm sat in a boat pike fishing or on the river in a downpour I need something decent. A lot of the fishing gear is warm...

    If you make a few quid from float fishing tutorials Keith make sure it goes to the WBC beer fund :D Ian

    Power Pro Braid/ 2 Rods/ Worried????

    Hi John, Hope you are well. I'd seek out a decent flourocarbon mainline, plenty out there. IMHO, I can't see the advantage of braid when barbel fishing. Invariably, most rivers in this country aren't that wide therefore the sensitivity element isn't relevant. I find it too harsh on the...

    Mullet?

    Lovely set up Clive ;) I use my 440a every year for the big tench. The sound of the clutch is fantastic... Very nice fish :) Ian

    John Pain

    One of the original BFW guys, as Ed said, the famous Jackpiker... John was also involved in the embryonic phases of the Windsor Barbel Catchers, that first gathering that Neil Harding Deans arranged. The WBC logo........John's handy work. My best memory of John....March 14th 2003. I was on...

    Mullet?

    I believe the thin lips are the most tolerant of fresh water, thick lipped and the golden grey less so. Had a couple of days camping on the Hamble this weekend so hooked my tin boat up, threw a float rod, centre pin and some Topper floats in the bag. A couple of plump specimens that made the...

    Fluorocarbon reel line?

    The Ultima stuff is very good. Agree re fluoro being inherently 'springy'..it's just the way it is. Remember chaps.....choose yer knots carefully with this stuff....:) Ian

    Fishing prolific Rivers

    Isn't this all relative chaps to where you choose to dangle. Not sure I subscribe to the theory of blanking as a badge of honour, some of the guys enjoy targeting big fish from hard waters, eg Thames, Lower Severn, (et al) and like to report progress, or not, as the case may be. It's always good...

    mullet

    Arrr yes the fly Paul, would dearly love to do that for mullet. Saw two guys right up the Fowey river some years ago doing just that, a joy to watch indeed :) Ian

    mullet

    Great stuff George :) If I wasn't so wrapped up in my carp, tench, barbel (et al).......fishing, then these are the single species I would focus on. Had a few on float fished bread and without question they are, pound for pound, one of the most, (if not the most), sporting fish we have in our...

    The river closed season debate

    Arr...never a year passed on BFW, (both old and new), without the great close season debate chaps. My view? With a Devil's Advocate cap affixed over a furrowed brow, (and with a consistency of years gone by), I say remove it. I do not see reason in an overall cessation of angling on rivers...

    The Only Way To Catch A Barbel?

    The real crux here i believe, lies with the publication of a capture and technique for the reason of hopefully obtaining sponsership. Those that bemoan my comment should realise - a glory hunter or two could be coming your way next season. So you believe Keith's after sponsorship....?
