This is him ,we went chubbing but ended up catching 6 of these from the ribble,notice no shoes on the bank,actually I'm lucky he kept his clothes on lol by the way he's sensory as well x
Yes and thanks mate,being an older dad I'm now 55 he's 8 must admit sometimes I've struggled to keep myself in control but we manage to do it and fishing helps...
My youngest started coming to the ribble with me last Yr and loves his fishing,he also as adhd and aspergers so was a bit worried he couldn't sit still but everytime we go he lasts longer, he's now on 4/5hrs which is awesome for him..
I've just bought a set of korum ones,they tilt and have snag ears which are obviously great for the river,they are a budget alarm with no sensitivity or volume settings but for 17 quid can't grumble..
I really enjoy floodwater fishing,my rig is usually a running rig with lead to suit conditions but I put 2 float stops on the line to catch all the debris and it works surprisingly well,in floodwater I shorten my hooklink to 12/15 inch with 2 boilies wrapped in matching paste..

It's all well and good saying do this do that most people won't listen,the very hot spell we had 6 weeks ago the river was very low and rammed with barbel anglers I turned up and went home didn't even bother way too hot,my answer is don't barbel fish in very hot low water conditions but when you...
Yes mate they all do ,my opion best author on barbel books as he covers everything,barbel obsession is like a best off of his other books and in my opinion not as good as the rest but is fairly rare so would go for the others first.you can pick up his first book on ebay usually for about 30/40...
I've recently had my 5th blank on the ribble the worse thing you can do is start doubting what your doing when you have caught in previous seasons,when you doubt what your doing you start changing things like bait, rigs etc but in my experience I might have another couple of blanks but that one...
