Good luck Robert, hope you have a few, you deserve them doing a 3 nighter. All the best;) Sounds has tho you need to be early in your pitch or you won't get it:eek:
 
Bloody hell I'm jealous but iv got a baby girl due on the 15th so it will be a while before I'm out my misses is just hopin she don't get a double lol I wish you all the best on the glorious 16th an the new season!
 
I very stupidly booked a holiday next week, not coming back on the 17th :eek:. Actually it doesn't really matter as it's always rubbish on the 15th. My tackle isn't ready, I have no food prepared and I have no bait :p. But as soon as I get back from the sunshine, I'll get away from work early, pick up some bait on the way, grab some sandwiches from the garage, and get down on the river for a nice evening's barbel fishing :cool:
 
I'm doing a 4 Nighter soon, and have learnt alot in the closed season been reading loads trying and testing hopefully il have a few nice fish just looking forward to being back on the bank.

I agree; it's rubbish on the 15th, mainly because I'm usually waiting for the 16th :)
 
Great answer Richard

have a great season :) see you on the bank :)

Maybe Saturday?
 
Hi all,
Good luck Robert, hope you get a few.
I wont be out my self till the 17th it's my youngest 2nd birthday so no fishing for me.

Looks like we might have some extra water to contend with, should be interesting.
 
Good luck to all, not out myself till the 28th banks on the Bristol Avon will be heaving with people camping out etc doesn't really help my roving approach so always go later when it settles down
