    Season end

    I had a good season on the Wye especially given the challenging conditions at times. I caught my 100th Barbel of the season with my last cast in late October, just as well as my car had to be towed out of the mud when I left the bank!

    My season ended not with a bang but a whimper. I had 97 Barbel by the end of October and had 4 sessions on my local stretch of the Wye. I blanked every time and didn't even have a bite. The conditions weren't good but even so. Baits included maggots, pellets, Spam and boilies. Night fishing is...

    Baitrunner Question

    Interesting , I've only been involved with the forum recently but have followed some threads back. Do posts get more acrimonious in direct ratio to the lack of bank time or is it merely personality clashes.? There seems to be so much that is helpful, constructive and insightful within the...
