    Thoughts on Barbel wising up to rigs

    Let me go way back in time to the 70s for this [carp related] story,in the days of Heron bite alarms [didnt use them] open bail arms,line clips ,silver paper indicater on the line.

    What are your targets for the new season?

    The plan for me last year was to fish a new river for a season,something to excite me,open my mind & learn a new river,away from the long bank hours of the Thames & Medway for little success. I only managed 2 trips late autumn due to lockdown but rekindled my enthusiasm for my life long hobby...

    Dead baiting.

    From my experience over the years with bottom fished deadbaits i always connect with the fish at the first indication,usually a slowish run as they are then in the process of swollowing the bait,unlike livebaits which they strike at then turn according to size & swollow.Never had a problem with...
