Will all soon be a distant memory chaps in the next few weeks :) I know everyone doesn't have a chalkstream close by but there are many rivers which can produce good winter sport for silvers and grayling when of course levels and flow permit. As Mr Boote highlighted, this is a normal winter, we...

Lovely fishes chaps :) Those 30's are corkers... A couple of the bigger ones from the middle Thames in 2010; 16.14 23.2 Apologies for background deletion... Both on popped up herring. Ian

Avon Mk7, very good ;) Ian

For a half day, for £4, it's worth a visit. Nic, there is alot of carp gear but there's also just as much general coarse gear, rods, reels, poles plus sea fishing gear. Ian PS Papa Burke...Sir Fairbrass et al will be there

Tom, They are mint, well done fella. We like pictures ;) Ian

That's a mint fish Steve, well done ;) Ian

My mother was 'despatched' to Morrisons in Southport about 2yrs ago with a clear directive.....'as many as you can carry' The payload was then driven south to Windsor where it has resided ever since. I've just been waiting for some decent winter weather to use it. Oh...how many tins...

In view of Keith's recent stunning catches, we have a WBC motion on the table to ban stick floats....of any type, shape, creed...:p Top angling mate ;) Ian

Hi Paul, That's a nice start in these conditions, well done. I've haven't started yet. Will concentrate on the pike for now, but come the middle of Feb I'll be out looking for those tigers Ian

Paul Check out the picture fella, they are MPS's ;) Ian PS - Mr Zander....way way downstream....:p and Baxy was in the dinghy baiting up, with the camera :D

Hey JW, If you'd seen the mirror he bagged in October you would understand why. Don't think I'll ever see a bigger Thames carp in the sling....;) Ian PS That's my Captain Benjamin L Willard, in the jungle impression :D

The chod is wafting slightly above the weed, I'm fishing locked up, snag bars on, Delks twitching in anticipation. But there's no nibbles yet Mr Zanderman....:eek: :D Ian

I guessed you would bring 'tarty' shame to the thread Mr Bax. Be off now to your carpy bivvy tramps over on Cemex :p :D Ian

I'm not convinced road salt has an impact, the dissolved content must be absolutely tiny, at most. Ian

Mine where from Leslies Andy http://www.leslies-luton.co.uk/store/product/2205586/MCF-SNAG-STICKS/ Cheers

Andy, My MCF ones fit Delks, and the base on my hangers is quite thick also. Ian

Chris, Naturally by design that is the case. Only when you lift the rod above the 'ears' can you strike horizontally. Some nice shiny tart there fellas.......we like ;) Ian

Chris, Indeed you are correct, so by way of a direct answer, mine are MCF Snag Sticks. You can bespoke if you wish http://www.defiantmps.com/ Ian

Reading this with interest chaps :) So whether it be fishing for barbel, carp, cats, et al, (gudgeon :p), sole purpose of snag bars is to prevent you losing your precious sticks in the 'drink' In terms of application, (whilst remembering we don't all fish the same way...), the relevance of...
