Cheers Gerry - Always good to shop around :) - I just checked the price of reels I'm about to buy and even with 15% off they are more than the delivered price off a very large Ebay seller ! If you can get TXI Delkims at what they are offering great - Can't imagine Delkim being too happy about...

I'm good cheers Neil, hope you are too. I'm only really fishing for Zander these days and mainly on the rock hard cut. A glutton for punishment 🤣

Hi Neil - and info or you @Jon Young - At the gate to the field there is/was a EA sign saying no night fishing (I believe all EA free sections have this ruling) Some 20 years ago Ripple was very popular with Barbel anglers as it produced fish (probably still does) as the no NF rule wasn't really...

Terry - The point I was making regarding refined sugar was that most of us consume knowingly, and unknowingly, probably too much, so actively seeking 'Sugar Free' on occasion can't be a bad thing.

High protein foods will help stave off hunger. An Egg & Bacon breaky is always a good start. There are plenty of high % protein snack bars on the market right now. The best are free of refine sugar (using tooth friendly Xylitol as the sweetener - but don't feed these to the dog! ) and offer slow...

Hi Jon - If you follow the steps in this Korda tutorial you won't have any issue. Critically you must start the turns away from the eye closure and you must do a few turns back up the whipping to lock the knot. Mono or fluro the method works with both...

Most on the list aren't in the running for THE record are they Lee?, so it's breaking a record specific to that river I think. Kev will be pleased as when he catches that bloody 7rn fish again it'll probably be bigger than the last time :rolleyes: :D

No not at all G - I've not been a BAA member since then (2007) I do my Zedding elsewhere. Just took a look - Nice fish, and no surprise

I didn't state in my original post Graham but the Zed a mate had on a boilie one December night whilst Carp fishing was at Uckinghall Lake. I was there and it went 6lb odd. That must have been 2006 as after the flood in 2007 we decided it was better fishing the river for the Carp stock :D. We we...

:eek: Well done to the captor

That's not good is it Joe. Last Hemp I had a few years ago was fine, must admit I didn't look at the date. I'm sure that if it's only just past it'll be okay and it'll be used in a few months. Agree Colin, I think most hemp gets 'over cooked' due to the obsession with white shoots

Neil / Joe - Current prices from Staytes Cheltenham Tel 01242 529435 - All 20kg sacks Hempseed £32.40 Pidgeon Cond £11.90 Maples £19.45 (out of interest) Worth a call to ensure a sack is available on the day but they can get them shipped up from the base at Eastington in a day or two...

PM for you Stuart Mail received Dave B SOLD

I've a spare spool going for the Daiwa 2600 no longer needed. It's as new (blemish/scratch free) Fully loaded with 10lb Clear sensor and used only a handful of times. Stored in the dark, so line should be good for further use. I added a 'Gibbo' style Power Gum casting clip at time the...

Because of multiple purchases (or multiple numpties :D) True price & qty sold per transaction eBay UK Item Purchase History

I pleasingly also had another one of those heart stopping moments this season Neil. (I recall a post of yours on the old forum where you detailed the 'pull' from something unstoppable, and it's what we go fishing for isn't it :D ) Clearly I don't go out under gunned, and I am quite firm on the...

A1. Banked more River Karps this year than ever before :) but still haven't reached THE target :( ,but still enjoying every minute with some stunning fish A2. Sadly discovering and witnessing first hand one of my venues that's being 'Ottered'. The future is grim :( A3. Realising following a...

Airing cupboard ;) (That's where my Skeetex go anyway)

A good additional point on the fermenting aspect Mark. I've found that using 'ripe' bait improves catches, or certainly does no harm. :) I make a point now of ensuring all my particles get plenty of sun exposure in the garden and on the bank. In fact a couple of years ago following a freezer...

Joe - Keith Speer did an article on baiting with maples. This should give you some confidence when using a new bait. I guess any/all seeds will work. https://barbel.co.uk/site/vbulletin/forum/barbel-talk/7721-ever-thought-pre-baiting.html Worth taking a gander in John Staytes store on the...
