    Wels Catfish - The Debate Thread

    Most of my aping, summer and autumn fishing is now dedicated to UK wels catfish. I’m just back from a 48 hour trip to a hard water in Kent. I managed three, which all best my old pb. They went 67lbs, 81lbs and my newest pb, 85lbs 4oz. To say I’m pleased is an understatement!!

    Bite Alarms.

    Thanks for the replies. After a bit of research, and bank balance reality, I went for a set of sonik SKS alarms. They are going to be used predominantly for catfish and these fit the bill very nicely for the price. I hope they’re as good as the reviews and how they sound!!

    Bite Alarms.

    Just after what the latest and best bite alarms are. What are people using? What would they use is money wasn’t an issue? Are Delkims still the best? What other alarms are top end? Not just for barbel, but carp and general fishing. I’ve been out of the game for a while and just want some...

    Unhooking mat or not?

    Paul my dear friend. Have you been waiting for me? If a woman asks you to use a c#####m, use one. If a law says do/ do not do something, you should probably follow it ( discretionary 😬), if it’s better for the planet to recycle and reduce your carbon footprint then please do. Drive electric, go...

    Base mixes, liquid flavours and additives.

    It’s a subject with two sections for discussion. 1 If secured airtight, how long do you think base mixes are safe to keep and use without going off? 2. How long do you think you can store and use liquid flavours and additives to base mixes, once they’ve been opened? Should they be replaced...

    Wanted Double Handle For Shimano 5000XTEA

    I contacted shimano because I want some for my 5000’s. They don’t do them any more. He offered 10000’s which for apparently. £19.95 each. Think I’ll stick with mine and get new reels when they’re knackered beyond use.

    Hooklengths

    Only a personal thing I guess, but I’ve never had anything but bad luck using fluro. Just seem to get clean breaks non stop. So I stick with my snakeskin and mantis gold.

    RIP River Colne.

    Alex, i totally agree. What good has it done going around being over cautious and over concerned about what other people are going to think? Do the otter lovers care about the fishermans, or most importantly, the fish's point of view or welfare? No, they haven't given it a thought, and...
