Not long to go now. I didn't sleep particularly well last night such was the anticipation: daft at my age but uncontrollable! I'm ready to roll and will be casting in at midnight. All the best to everyone who's out there tonight and over the coming days. Enjoy!

Had a poor barbel season last time as far as numbers are concerned, even the Wye was in a mood with me...opening day last season saw the Rivers full down these parts, and the Severn was unfishable really, so I headed for the Avon, and on my way I got 'snapped' by the cops doing 37 in a 30 
and just a month later similar 36 in a 30, which left me £200 odd light and 6 points.
OK I did have a pb Barbel in February at over 14lb, but even that conspired against me in managing to snap the thread on the net, making it a very unceremonious return
2012 I managed 3 that was actually the 17th, as the 16th was a wash out, that progressed into a very fine season, the 'summer' that it rained and rained, but the Barbel didn't mind, and they were easy pickings from the Severn.
Barbel numbers are well down so I have to be real, the Avon is a shadow of it's former self which is a great pity, had some good sessions in the past, and before the Great Flood we used to have a 'double' a session, or so it seemed., be lucky to get one or two in a season now.
Where will I be? don't know, I will decide when I get to the cross roads, right Severn, left Avon...Good luck to one and all.
