New River Reports

[Paul Whiteing]

I updated the forum so we have a new set of River Reports for 2017-18, the 2016-17 ones are now archived and locked.

BUT it means the links are broken from the menu - sorry guys, that's something Andy has to fix

Consider a slapping around one's face wi' a wet fish

Check the TAC site for the current joint Thames record.

Sorry Paul sent email then saw this post

No problem Colin An email to Andy (presumably yours) was the trigger for my post, I always forget these links when I add the new reports

 

[Paul Whiteing]

Check the TAC site for the current joint Thames record.

I just did. It shows two captors, two fish, one weight, one date

Not sure whom compiles the River Records list these days? It used to be Dave Mason / BFW

 

[Steve Shenfield]

18.05 caught Chris Whapshott in October 2016, 18.05 caught Chris Wylot in November 2016. Same fish, both friends of mine.
If you click on the link 'barbel' within the list, it gives expanded details of both captures.

 

[Paul Whiteing]

Both great looking fish

Yes, I understand that these were/are in the frame, but the records list captures are ratified records - Guy Robb's fish still stands.

I'm in no way disputing these, but as I said, not sure who "does" the records list at the moment.

 

[Dave Brooksbank]

There's bigger than that in the Thames.....

 

[Steve Shenfield]

I photographed and weighed with witnesses Chris Whapshott's 18.05 in Oct 2017 and instantly recognised it as a fish I caught two years previously at 16lb. It also appeared in Angler's Mail. The second capture by my pal Chris Wylot was also witnessed. Just a matter of historical record really, suit yourself!

I would not dispute that for a minute Dave

Hi Steve, is your real name Dr Who

 

[Steve Shenfield]

Ah, b****r, meant Oct 2016, doh!
Do you want the lottery winning numbers for next Saturday?

Just wondering what the ratification process is?

Hi there,

Thanks to Paul for sorting all the new river reports. I've fixed the links now (sorry about the delay, I've been away).

All the river record claims are verified by a team from the Barbel Society. BFW pass record claims to this team and work with the BS to ensure there's a single published list in existence.

Here are more details:

Thanks,

You might need to refresh the page Kevin...

 

[Terry Simner]

Andy... for me (and others maybe???) the link to river reports works fine from the Home Page, but not from, say, Barbel Talk.

[Kevin Plaskitt]

Ok mine now works from the home page as well but not from Barbel talk.

[Terry Simner]

The link from Barbel Talk to River Reports still doesn't work on my laptop. It works fine from Home Page though!
