Morning Gents, First session of the year weekend just gone. Arrived just after first light to see only 2 anglers on so plenty of swim choice. Had a walk around and settled on a swim with the idea to bait very lightly and fish method feeders. The venue is only 3 acres and averages 4-5 feet deep...

My pleasure mate, hope it gets plenty of use. Thanks Lewis

Mice....🤬🤬🤬 3 years ago a couple of mice had set up home in the garage. I soon discovered chewed bait bags etc and a drawer full of chewed material they were using as bedding. Put some traps down and caught them..... Or so I thought...... Spring and summer came, no issues Winter arrived and...

Ian, Is this the triangular one that's camo coloured mesh? If so there's a chance I have one on the garage thats not seen the light if day for 14 years. If it is you can have it mate if it's still there. Thanks Lewis

A few from the middle Trent from the last couple of days, shes carrying about of extra water 😬🙈

Pretty damning this from one of the ESP/Drennan Media team. On an open forum on FB and it's been shared multiple times so I figure no harm in posting it here. I was very much on the benefit of the doubt/no one would be so stupid side of the fence however seems there's no smoke without fire...

Great bit of kit. Not too big, sits nicely on your back, main compartment is solid so it doesn't collapse in on itself when you take things out. The pockets have drainage holes in, in the event they get wet inside. Top compartment is insulated so perfect bait or food (will hold around 5kg of...

Didn't mean it like that, should have put it better 👍

So they know when keepnet 1 is full so they can deploy keepnet 2 and so on 😳

An absolute circus mate, the stretch is a joke. 20 mins from home and I'd rather sell my gear than fish there. A shame as it's a lovely place and Ive fished it for 16 years (not the last 4 though). Fish chasers and those desperate for YouTube 'fame' have sadly spoiled it.

I've had my Gardner one for about 9 years, its a bit rough round the edges now but still going strong. Large pockets, insulated top compartment that fits enough bait for a session (and more) and the main body of the bag is rigid so everything fits nicely and it doesn't collapse when you open...

Another unnecessary carp fishing fad 🙈 Amazes me that people are taken in by 'revolutionary' gizmos like this. This doesn't do anything that Nash Triggalink or The Hermit Rig designed by Steve Reynard that's based around shy feeding winter fish don't. Bonkers Thanks Lewis

Fascinating stuff @Richard Isaacs and lots of things to consider and think about when I get out again. This post alone has already shown me more than the time I've spent on the river this season! Thanks again 👍

Brilliant post Rich and thanks for taking the time to put it together. I've started float fishing for barbel this season (all be it I've only been out 3 times and to venues I don't know on the Middle Severn so the learning curve is steep). I've fluked one small barbel and had plenty of chub...

With all due respect anything on Facebook, particularly a private group is about as credible as the Sunday Sport reporting someone's affection for vegetables 😬😳😉

Very sad, lovely guy. Fished with him a few times in the Teme Severn days. I remember him catching some lovely fish on one of the fish ins. RIP Jason Lewis

Kevin, I use these mate https://www.freespiritfishing.com/shop/item/river_tamer_barbel_tamer/ I have the 1.75's for general barbel fishing which also come with a 3oz carbon tip I also have the 2.25's that come with a 5oz carbon tip but only use these on the Trent tbh. Thanks Lewis

Hi Kevin, I live in the same area as you and have fished the Avon for 20 odd years. Any good quality rod in a 1.75 test will cover almost every situation you're likely to encounter on The Warks Avon. With the budget you have, you can almost take your pick at that TC. I Use Free Spirit...

Hi Robert, If you don't sell all 4 in one go I'd happily take 2 off you. Thanks Lewis

Good Morning, Bit of an update from me. I didn't get anywhere with the EA, AT etc. No one.was prepared to say anything other than it was an oxygen crash and as that's the official line as it were there'll be no investigation. Despite it being in the national and local press. It got a lot of...
