With the river rising rapidly we decided to make a swift exit......😁

Hi all, I've managed to lose the end cap of my twistlock handle. Knowing the potential issues this could cause with the internal bung, I see trouble ahead..... Can't seem to find contact details for Drennan Spares......can anyone help me out? Many thanks, Steve

Thinking of a change to my fishing next season and was looking to find a venue to catch barbel on the float in the summer/autumn. Looking for a cheap ticket with good parking where the barbel wil respond to float tactics. Never fished the Trent but seems ideal given the head of fish. The low...

Thinking of going after the tuna soon and wondered if anyone could recommend the best tidal ranges for these fish in the uk. I'm sure the skippers will tell you everyday is good but just wanted to hear anyone's thoughts. Thanks.

After a few poor efforts at inshore boat angling, I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a guide on the south coast that would take me out and show me the ropes. Willing to travel anywhere between Sussex and Dorset.

Hi all, After losing yet another hair needle this week, I'm thinking of trying bait screws rather than a conventional hair. Having never used them before, I'm after opinions on pros and cons. Will be using them for boilies, most likely mounting the screw on the hook shank via a couple of hook...

Hi all, Looking for an 11 foot version with the 1.75 and 2.2 tops. Many thanks. Steve

Hi all, Got myself a lovely deep net which I'm really happy with although it's a bit unwieldy when moving between swims etc. I have been using elastic bands to hold the mesh against the handle but they are prone to snapping. Is there anything on the market designed specifically for this...

Hi all, Just wondered if there are any reel experts on here that I could ask advice. The handle on one of my bait runners appears to be very tight (binding) when winding. I backed the tightening screw off slightly which helped but then this caused play in the handle. Not keen on stripping it...

Following on from a recent thread where there was some recomendations for un-issued army goretex jackets... Does anyone know what the acronyms DPM or MVP stand for??? I'm looking for one with pockets but i see some seem to be designed to wear below a top layer (without pockets). I'm confused...

I'm thinking of getting a keep net for using whilst trotting on thr river. I've noticed that returning fish in the swim can often spook the shoal. I've no intention of using it for barbel but I wondered if there was anything on the market that was suited particularly for river anglers...

Anyone local to me (Maidenhead, Berks) got an old beachcaster they want to get shot of? I'm off down the coast in a couple of weeks and fancy escaping the wife for a few hours in the evening....;) Saltwater fixed spool would be useful too. Cheers, Steve

Well done that man on the cover page with the new Blackwater record. I've had a few good ones from there over the years but looks to be a different fish to mine. Cracking little river...;)

Well, after lots of soul searching and looking for suitable alternatives i'm seriously considering selling my beloved 54's.:( Still got the original boxes, manuals, etc. They don't seem to come up on the auction sites often so i'm wondering what price they are likely to fetch? Anyone any idea...

I'm after one of these if anyone has one for sale. Cheers.

The local press are reporting raw sewage being accidentally pumped into the Thames from The Little Marlow Treatment works last week. Apparently affecting as far downstream as Maidenhead. Anyone know any more?

Xmas is nearly here and i've decided to let her spoil me with a new trotting rod :eek: I've narrowed it to the Drennan 13 ultralight or the IM9 classic, also in 13ft. It will be used for general trotting from grayling up to big chub. Pros and cons please......... I like the portability of...

Above the barbel population (as far as i am aware), but newsworthy nonetheless....:( BBC News - Polluted Camberley river causes death of dozens of fish
