I'll pm you some details on BAA Mark, your a better Barbel angler than me so I am sure you will sort a few of these Southern Barb's.
Ribble rabble....love it Is that down to them eating the wrong pies Mark
Hope you have a few wherever you end up mate, best of luck.
Cheers, Dave.
they eat them gay gala pies they don't count and participate in red sauce which is only for kids and fat yanks!
Hi Neil
Sorry I didn't introduce myself even though we chatted briefly,when I walked away I put it together who you was!
Your lad was in the swim I'd fished previous night I had a chub 5.14 on half a tin of meat !
I went towards lower limit just a 2lb chub in boilie.
I did however catch a teme pb of 11lb on Monday so all is good
Neil I do like a walk away from the crowds ,your not missing much down there!
Such a shame about the dead barbel there was a couple of young lads using shoddy tackle up near the weir the previous day. Hoping to get down autumn time when there's more water and flow in, wait till you meet the real not rights when they're down in September
there will be a couple of mankini's knocking about in September, shame your not coming Charley
Hope you enjoyed the visit John, I think most rivers sem to be a bit 'off' at the moment, hopefully as you say Autumn might be a better bet. Personally Roach seem to favour my pellet at the moment on the Severn, my last 16 fish from the Severn have all been Roach, and 'proper Roach too, all good fish average about a 1lb with a couple going 1.5lbs , last evening the biggest Roach so far snaffled my 14mm pellet
Love them though, but better on lighter gear, but as you know, as soon as I scale down, it will be the Barbel that smash me up
This happened to me about 2 years ago. Couldn't buy a barbel for about 2 weeks so switched to meat and instantly started catching again. Not used pellet since.
Was nice to see some big roach but like you say on barbel gear just no sport to be had.
I like meat but so do the snigs Jon, even a big lump on a size 2 get's whittled down. Whoever said Eels are in decline?
However it seems the Barbel are just not playing ball at the moment, even the Trent seems to be suffering, my theory was that while the Barbel were away, the Roach were cleaning up on the scoff?

You might not think it but there is declin in eels Neil. After the blanks I'm having while eeling you think there was none in my lake
