Evening oh wise ones, just grabbed what I consider a bit of a bargain, 2x2 1/4 carp rods from marketplace, 60 quid. Can anyone shed any light on the blank or the rod builder ( I think it’s the rod builder) ? They are definitely custom made, and a slim blank to boot.

Alright fellas, been in and out the van grabbing an hour here and there recently, and I’ve snapped the tip of my barbel rod, about 1.5 inch away from the top. Can this be fixed? And if it.can, is there anyone on here that can help?

Hers a couple of carp I caught on the centrepin, I baited a little area on a shady gravel pit and fished for an hour each morning before work. Both fish came within ten minutes of casting out, what a fight from the mirror, hair raising stuff but so much fun. Both on paste, 1oz lead.

Evening all, hope your getting out in the bank, I have a question. I’ve got a tasty looking weir on one of my tickets, but you can’t get near the weir pool because of the high sides.

Good luck to everyone gracing the banks at midnight tonight, tight lines , and be careful out there 👍

Hey guys, anyone seen this piece of kit coming out this week?

Evening all, any one fished Thorney weir in the colne? I’ve heard a few good things about this venue.

Having read both my usual angling rags this week, both have a page reporting about the water quality test failure. I know this has been discussed heavily on here, and petitions have been singled, but what now? What can us as anglers, and lovers of the environments we ply our trade In, can we do...

I caught this ray from shanklin I.o.w, I didn’t really realise how much of a specimen this actually was at the time. I bagged it from the car park in the corner on half a pouting. I never weighed it, but I reckon it was over 20 lb. what a fish. I’ve showed it to a few seasoned sea anglers and...

Anyone read Pete readings article on day fishing for barbel? Interesting........

Do not go here, I fished the nene upstream of the lock, had a 6lb 3 oz bream and that was it. Had a wander about and clocked the mill stream at billing mill pub (shut down), it looked tasty, fished it, not even a shiver on the rod tip. I moved back up to what I can only describe as the most...

Good evening, me again on my quest for knowledge. Has anyone ever fished the stretch of the ivel that runs through the manor farm complex near Biggleswade? I took the wife carping a couple of years ago down there, ( she likes the comfort), and I got talking to the Baliff. When I asked about the...
