If it was 20-1 it would be more likely to do a record weight come winter.

There's plenty bigger out there, many rivers with 18 plus barbel now!!! Its anyone's guess which will hit 21-2 first!!! Ivel was very close last season.

Adrian, have a look on the Reading & District Angling Association website, they have a few day ticket waters. With a bit of luck one of the Kennet regulars on here will offer you a guest ticket on one of the better stretches

Andy, you forget bait used and approximate swim location!! OK, I have to try :D

Well done Howard, great action and excellent account, brightened up my day

Penn liveliners are very popular if you don't want Shimano, don't think they're cheap though!!

Hi, welcome Paul, sounds like you must be fairly local to me

Literally tons of fish coming out of the Thames to trotted baits, I had two pike at 8 and 12lb to lures on Saturday, some great perch and chub coming to lures on the Pats too so plenty of variety to have a go at :)

Between 10 and 20 minutes for me Mark, depending which river I fish..... I do travel a lot for other species, 14 hour round trip to Southern Scotland for example!!

Ok, this has remained personal too long, doing no one any good so I am closing it.

Ahah, should have guessed, makes sense the Rocca Gibralta ;)

Two Canes from old Sicily? Hope you're keeping well Tone.

Were you waiting for the answer before picking the rod up Paul?

They were spawning early May in Berks

I use them all the time For supporting sweet peas and exercising rodents :D

This year I'll be in the lakes eating Cumberland sausage, pies and chips with gravy, yum :D Come along to the open day chaps, it is a great day with great people in beautiful surroundings and everything is free, we can't do better than that. Bring a few friends too ;)

Dave, Don't shoot the messenger, Ray asked a question and I gave the factual answer, to be honest, I would imagine the 6 miles off Coast is aimed more at salmon and sea trout fishing as far as enforcement goes!! You do seem to miss the point about being liable to catch freshwater species...

That'll be much my approach too Bob, got a great LRF rod recently, a Majorcraft Zalt 0.5 to 7gm, paired with Aernos 1000 and 0.4PE Sunline rockfish, can fish 1 inch shads on 0.5gm jig heads and still feel what's happening. Also bought a G Loomis dropshot rod to replace the savage gear one I was...

Ray, you need a rod licence to fish for freshwater fish, eels, salmon and sea trout, for up to 6 miles out to sea. If you are fishing for sea fish, i.e. bass, and cannot be liable to catch licenced species, you do not need a licence.

Jerry, the three of you could fish the Loddon, Thames and St. Pats at the same time, walking distance same Car Park
