    New Age Of Barbel Fishing

    I don’t think it will go as far as carp fishing has, just because barbel are much more difficult to catch due to being pretty thin on the ground in many rivers. The biggest thing with carping is how accessible it is to the masses, for a big chunk of the year rivers are too much effort for the...

    The river looks very low in the double figure barbel vid you posted Ian, hopefully your area isnt in danger of closing like others have?

    Heat!

    I know what you mean, but birds nest around stillwaters and canals too, so in some respects the fact the close season was abolished for those makes it sort of irrelevant to the river closed season question maybe? (such a tricky one to consider… and I agree with you). My own opinion is just...

    Helping Barbel that are having difficulty recovering

    Good advice which I’ll definitely keep in mind as I’m relatively new to targeting barbel specifically. I flat out won’t fish for them in this heat, I prefer evening tench sessions but even then I’m not daft if it’s too hot. I’m not a fan of the heat myself anyway, I’m an autumn/winter person...

    Awesome, Ian. I need some kind of long sleeve top like that, don’t suppose you can remember where it’s from?

    I liked the video Ian, good work (I personally dont mind long ones but I do watch live match videos too so thats probably why). How you swap hands to bat the line back is eye opening, I think id put myself in a tangle. 😂 I do need to practice that cast too. I also need to learn how to play fish...

    Shimano Baitrunner 6000: XTR-RA, XT-RA, XTEA or GTE-C?

    I use these, seems pretty bomb proof so far!

    How did everyone’s day one go ?

    I didnt go, due to work I wont be able to go for a couple of weeks or so, however I did drive past the carpark and wow was it rammed, so me not going is probably a blessing, I hate fully pegged out rivers.

    Protect hares and their young from shooting during the breeding season

    signed, only ever seen one hare in my life and that was at the zoo

    Where you going ??

    The river Lea, but not straight away, work wont let me, and I assume it will be rammed at first anyway.

    I use a guru fusion, folds and zips up so it doubles up as a shoulder carry bag for bits and bobs

    Tench 2025

    Nothing for me the last couple of trips, the fish have been more interested in cruising around about 18inches beneath the surface than feeding, not sure if they are rising with hatches as there are insect explosions going on, especially damsels. I’ve tried to trick them with some bread, casters...

    Tench 2025

    It’s a weird place, it is a bit early I agree, first trip I lost one on prawn, no fizzing, second trip caught one on pellet, no fizzing, last night fizzing like mad and no bites on anything. It’s just a case of working it out, I feel like I’ve currently caught by accident rather than by design...

    Tench 2025

    I will do, it’s one thing I’ve not tried there yet. It’s one of those fisheries that will be prolific once it’s been fathomed out, I’m sure of it
