Is there a website anywhere that tells us what current water temps are? I'll be moving house soon so be handy to find out remotely than drive 40 minutes to the Trent only to turn back around again if the water is too cold 🥶 Would be nice if the level monitoring stations also output water...

I Like a day ticket session every now and then at Fiskerton but at heart i'm more of a night time Barbeller. I was wondering if anyone has any info on the HKS syndicate? Contact and if/when they take on new members? Thanks in advance :)

I've been fishing properly for 4 or 5 years now and have been Barbel fishing for 2. I can pretty much pick out a likely peg on a small river like the Derwent and catch fish, especially around September time. But i'm useless on big rivers like the Trent unless i go to a known day ticket stretch...

One of my preferred pegs has a nearside slack that has produced in the past on boilies, but i'm fancying putting a big lump (half a tin) of meat down there for a change. How would you recommend fishing it? Freelined and plonked in or set up properly with a lead so there is something for the...

Finally in stock somewhere in the UK, been hard to get a hold of for a while unless you import. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403778751140?hash=item5e0316caa4:g:SnIAAOSwkE9bNnLK £75 each, come with fully featured spare spool. My 6000's replaced some £260 a piece Shimano CI4+ LC Medium...

I had been using a Drennan twist lock specialist 3 metre handle until the mechanism thread stripped. Tried to get a replacement since October last year so decided to accept my losses, bin it and get another net handle. Doesn't seem to be a lot of choice for specialist handles that aren't the...

Fluorocarbon, £24 for 200m. 15lb 0.35 I was checking out my reels that i hadn't used since last october and thought i'd peel off some line and check it. Was using Daiwa Tournament ST of 0.30 - 12lb on my most used reels and was definitely feeling a bit rough, like it's been abraded by rocks...

Looking at treating myself to a pair of Harrison rods for next year, factory built and ordered through Walkers of Trowell. What are the main differences between the Chimera 3 2.25lb and the Torrix 2lb? I've heard the Chimera 3 is the one rod to rule them all, can be used in most situations...

What's everyone using? Low clear and daylight i use 8 or 10lb drennan supplex fluoro but could do with something better, it's a bit stiff and wiry. Coloured water or night fishing I'm using avid Carp captive coated braid in 15lb, its really nice and supple, best I've found so far 👍 For hooks...

I've started rolling my own boilies as per this thread over on maggotdrowners forums: https://www.maggotdrowning.com/forums/threads/the-magic-mix.236123/ I read about Astaxanthin and how it was the magic ingredient in the orginal (orange coloured, oily looking) Elips / Ellipse pellets of old...

Been having a good run of late, went yesterday for a few hours after work and managed one just under 8lb during daylight hours weirdly.
