Hello From a New Member

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and introduce myself. I've been fishing for years, mainly matches, but a bit earlier this year I decided to take advantage of having the Kennet only 5 minutes from my home. So I'm trying to catch barbel I've had a couple up to 8lb 7oz and I'm enjoying learning a new branch of the sport, to me that is.

I've already learned a few things from browsing the site and hope people don't mind if I pick their brains.
 
Welcome to the fold Billy hope you enjoy the site.
 
Welcome Billy :) I look forward to hearing of your catches getting bigger, and bigger. It sounds like you've made a good start!

Cheers, Andy
 
Hi Billy and "Welcome"....I wished I was abit nearer to the Kennet but have a angry Severn not far away!! :)
 
Welcome Billy. The Kennet's a lovely river, I will be fishing it myself quite a bit through the winter. Good luck.

Regards John.
 
:D
It makes me angry mate!!:D
Couldn't tempt any Pike bigger than a livebait yesterday on the plugs!!!
 
Welcome to Barbel fishing Billy, and good, comprehensive knowledge of general coarse fishing for that matter! The guys on here seem to know everything there is to know about angling!! I have only trotted Barton court on the Kennet,but was well and truly bewitched.
 
Welcome from me to Billy.

This site has provided the first steps to barbel fishing for many before you -me included.

Enjoy the site and more importantly enjoy your fishing :)

Cheers

Les
 
Welcome Billy, although I must say I am bemused already....where the hell did you spot these brains your thinking of picking :eek: Are you SURE you have the right forum...........:D

Cheers, Dave.
 
Hi Billy, if you've already had success on the Kennet then I will be picking your brains, I seem able to make it appear a hard river!
