    Drennan Specialist landing net handle EUREKA moment

    I've had a couple of the Drennan 3m handles..They've both lasted many many years, I couldn't even tell you how long I've had the last one for, and is still working perfectly fine. I bought a Gardner XL 4m one a couple of years ago for a stretch of river with very high banks. Don't get me wrong...

    Bit of a 'back to basics' kinda question....

    I got a Deeper Pro Plus to use on bits of the middle and tidal Trent. I've found it invaluable.

    Mighty Trent Day Ticket. Fiskerton v Stoke Bardolph Road

    Fiskerton gives you the benefit of 2 day ticket stretches too. Either Barnsley DAA or Notts Piscatorials, plenty of water to go at. Tickets for both available from the Post Office in Fiskerton. We just need the weather gods to be on our side for the rest of the season!

    The same guy also had a 19.8 two days before the 20.

    New record

    That fish looks an absolute beast! Very well done to the captor👏👏 It seems to be a pretty special piece of the river down there, with the big fish it's producing. Hope it long continues!

    Which river Paul, Thames or Trent?

    What bait?🤔

    Frankfurter Spice is also good, agree about the boosted pots, whether it's the pellets, dumbells or cocoons. I've not tried the Cheese & Garlic but done very well this Autumn on the Squid & Garlic.

    Caravan on the Trent

    Because it was in response to Simon's picture he posted, perhaps you would be better asking why Simon posted a picture of A1 pits on the thread about your caravan?

    Caravan on the Trent

    I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I was referring to the picture Simon Archer posted of A1 pits and how reminiscent it was of Collingham before they banned night fishing

    Caravan on the Trent

    Looks like the halcyon days of Collingham! I suppose they had to go somewhere after they banned night fishing!

    What bait?🤔

    Would you recommend a particular Vortex Baits boilie? As they do a few (CKO, Squid Liver Enzyme, Hydroshrimp and Cranberry, Frankfurter Spice etc)
  15. Mark Harridence

    What bait?🤔

    If you're thinking of going down the boilie route, I would suggest you have a look at the Sticky Baits Krill Active, as previously mentioned. It's a well proven year round bait, that's caught loads of Barbel off many different rivers over the years. They smell great too!😃 The key to whichever...

    Warm fishing jackets & trousers

    I've just bought the Fortis Tundra Salopettes, they're not cheap, but you can tell are quality. They're extremely warm and waterproof too.

    Repair to rod ring. Advice please

    Graham Dave Bone has replaced 2 or 3 of mine where this happened and done a great job👍

    WANTED, floodwater setup 🤞🏻

    The Daiwa Powermesh 2.25 tc and the Guru N-Gauge Specimen Barbel 2.25 tc rods are well worth a look!

    Coming over from Ireland to fish the Wye. (Bucket list trip) . Any info appreciated

    Hi Fergal Brockhampton has it's own Facebook page and website, there are some catch details posted on them. There is also a guy who does guiding on there called Ian Henderson, who will know the beats very well, it may be worth messaging him nearer to your trip to ask about conditions, how it's...
