Superb hooks ,can unhook without a pair of forceps and stay sharp after a battering on the tidal not lost many since ditching the fox hooks that sadly are not a patch on Gripz .
Pretty dammed bad photo of a nice cod then when i packed up the car battery failed and i had to spend till the morning before the breakdown lot finally sent a portable jump pack that i had to help carry as non of the tonker toy vehicles that were sent could access the sea wall where i had...
Hoping for some settled weather , both the estuary i fish and the tidal have took a battering that seems like forever, and no matter what direction i am sat under my umbrella on the humber i tend to get piss wet through as the nice window weather becomes a blowing hooley soak fest from all...
Still some good second hand yetis around bought another one with 47000 on the clock and totally removable seats 4x4 and the older shape with the round spot lights , they should bring them back as they have become a much sort after second hand buy .
Not stood the test of time for me , the tip broke a while back always felt a bit clunky , i still use the Korum 13ft 2 1/lb that I've had a few years now and replaced the big water with a 13ft Shimano Purist.
I managed to wangle 3 out on the Wednesday before the levels went up and up again on the tidal , but made sure i could get out easily parking on hard ground as it pissed it down most of the night. The cod are back in the humber , although massive tides and more rain will make that a...
Jack pike neoprene wellies have served me well on the tidal and Humber, got two pairs and the rubber tang at the back makes them quite easy to get off and good value as well .
Fish a good strong tripod anchored down with bungee and jrc pegs and a car mechanics mat to stop me falling on my ass at silly o'clock if it's a bit wet ,mainly fish the tidal so set the rods at the appropriate hight and angle depending on the current / tide
Yep a lot of clubs have suffered from the fallout from Collingham, the scunny stretch now has a second gate that has the some of the barbel society stretch on the opposite bank as well,and now has a two year waiting list before a night permit can be obtained, still very good value in my...
Might be worth joining Iron and Steel next season if you can as I think the waltonians also have a stretch opposite as well as the barbel society that I think involves a bit of leg work .
Should see the carnage that is left after a few weeks of the cod season on the Humber , loads of fishing crap left as well as discarded badly filleted fish often way undersize and even the odd one in size that has been thrown on the Humber mud once the trophy shot has been taken for face ache...
My last but one tidal trent session i thought a match was on , my mistake i should have opted for a Wednesday night , not Tuesday as bank holiday hordes were still there .Finally got set up then a father and son got the Olympic fire pit out complete with the ching of generic lager...
A.holes, weather it's the splosh of a feeder approx 15 ft from where you are fishing , the repugnant pong of the chain smoking dopehead, rave radio , mobile phone constant loud inane yorking numerous other things when they decide to plonk down too bloody close. Can't wait for the winter when...
Had a blank on the Humber two weeks ago, that's five since beginning of last October for salt water fishing , although barbel fishing last season was a bit hit and miss i was glad that i took a feeder rod and had a bit of fun catching all sorts. I will leave the non blanker's to the...
Still making use of the outstanding cod fishing in my back yard and a lot fresher than the high priced super market fodder , don't think i will pick up a course rod till the river season opens again still blooming cold at the moment not long to go now though .
