Has arrived here in the south but I doubt it will do a lot to improve the fishing so it will be business..i mean blanking as usual this weekend !

I'm thinking about switching from shimano to these reels, I have noticed that you can get them for £89.99 which seems pretty good. Someone has offered me 2 second hand for £140 which I think is a bit much given the above, I was considering offering £120 for the pair second hand which seems...

Im currently using a shimano power barbel rod with a shimano 4000 reel for small/medium river fishing. Im not overly keen on the rod, i did have a look the other day at the drennan specialist avon that was qute nice if a bit tarty with the finish! Half debating stretching to a Harrison...

Just thinking out aloud on this but as most boilies aimed at catching barbell/chub are nearly always fish/meat etc flavoured i'm considering trying a sweet flavoured bait might be worth trying as it could potentially be less conspicuous. I think the last recipe I made for winter fishing was a...

Anyone have and good/bad experiences about tring? I'm struggling to find a lake to fish that's not a carp puddle or covered In rubbish so I'm prepared to drive ! I've been to fishers green in the lea valley but it's not that quiet and people seem to find it acceptable to dump rubbish there...

Does anyone know of place in Essex to fish during the closed season preferably something that isn't a puddle surrounded by people fishing over each other.... ive moved to Essex so would rather not have to drive for over an hour ideally ! Thanks in advance......

Anyone use the baker base mixes anymore ? Doesn't seem to be stocked very well in tackle shops these days!

Does anyone have experience of musto, harilka etc? Half tempted to spend the money on something decent I can use outside of fishing but at nearly £400 for a coat i wondered if they were worth it. Can't seem to find the sun fridge igloo suits anymore either !?

Hi, I haven't been a member of this club for quite a number of years, anyone else a member? I generally used to avoid the busy waters such as Bagshot Lea (never liked the place) etc....

Considering one of these for my fishing trips at the weekends as using the mrs car at the moment and she wants it back ! Anyone have some experience with either vehicle not after comfort just a fishing jalopy !

Full cork handles matt finish blue whipping on butt section 40mm ringing Very nice hardly ever used in vgc looking for £250 im in either Hampton or Guildford/Godalming. I will post these elsewhere so I expect them to go quickly....

1.75 and 2.25lb tops Hardly used in fact I think 6 times! Also a Shimano 4000 ST FA Reel. £80 for the rod and £40 for the reel can do a deal for both - photos on request just send me your email, both practically brand new just dont get out to fish anymore!

Just watched these very enjoyable spread across the full fishing season a great watch for the all round angler. The narration is just right as is the on screen presence of Bob and Stuart, highly recommended!

Have one of the big river rods already but noticed the new rods are £170! Wouldn't you be better of spending the extra and getting a free spirit or one from bob gill !? It's not that much more really...

Quite good if you are in the market for some quality gear although i notice some items can be cheaper elsewhere...i bought a decent flask and some Merino wool socks which i'm hoping are worth the money... Uttings.co.uk | Field Sports, Camping Equipment, Fishing and Outdoor Equipment

As the title I am now living about 10mins from the thames and really keen to get a boat next year... if anyone has personal experiences of the marinas or the best way to get into finding out about the best type of boat would be great to hear from you? Thanks Tony

When I joined this forum (the original one) over ten years ago, the river reports threads were a great source if exchanging info for people all fishing the same rivers and helping each other out. Apart from a small handful of people who are genuinely helpful the reports now just seem to be...

One of the disadvantages of keeping my bait in the same bag as my tackle is that it stinks now. I've tried washing it with a buckt of hot soapy water but it still smells! Wish I had kept my bait separate in my fox bait bag but I have sold that now! Any suggestions to make it smell less...

Anyone seen this stocked in shops these days? Thinking about going on to boilies instead of pellets for a bit of an edge...
