That Elliot bloke's rubbish.

Last season he insisted I spend a weekend on the Wye for nothing, he supplied and cooked all the food, outfished me by a zillion to one, made me photograph all of his double figure barbel and gave me the experience of fishing a river with methods completely alien to my norms, and all in all made me miserable as hell that I'd had such a good time in good company that I'll never forgive him.

And all because we had an "difference of opinion" on BFW years ago. :)

As a specimen angler I got bored with barbel some years back when I broke the 15lb mark and have been concentrating on other species since, but the Wye trip reminded me there is fun to be had if you can drop the self-imposed shackles of targets for a moment, difficult though I find that to do. :cool:

I've recently banked a 36lb+ carp from the (top) Langridge Lake at Fishers Green which, because it's one of the hardest carp waters in the country, is probably my best capture ever, even though it's not a P.B..
Not bad for a non-carper.
 
Cheers Si

That carp would be 99 percent of everyone's pb's I think.

Simply stunning.

We will have to do the Wye trip again.

You can pay :D

Good thread chaps.
Biggest barbel.....hmmm
I neither am going to state my biggest barbel but like others I spread myself pretty evenly now across pike, perch, tench, barbel, carp and others species. I guess I did set myself targets years ago for the places I fish...50 barbel from the Thames :eek: ;) A fish in every month of the season, (December and January were sometimes interesting, April and May far easier...). That kind of general madness :rolleyes:

Not sure you should look at the size of another man's.....as it's all relative to where you fish chaps.

GE, I wouldn't go roach fishing with the man Speer.....He bats his pin from the back you know. Most odd if you ask me :D

I have also tried to catch a barbel in every month (not April, May of course!) and did manage it once, mostly with smallish ones from the Windrush. It would probably take all 10 months to catch one barbel from there now..
 
Astonishing........and so unfair!!:eek:


I have never hidden the fact that I batt from the back, I have always been open and honest about it!!

Come on Ian, you have always wanted to be a backward batty boy too, come on and join me on the light side, then we can both frolic together in the Thames side meadows!!:D


Graham, good luck on the Trent, I am there myself this weekend, I will phone you to compare notes.



For me, improving my pb's are far less important than enjoying my time on the river bank and learning to be a better angler.

In the past I have tried too hard to catch big fish, now I just try to do it well.

Somewhere closer to our homes, I think. I can't afford a third mortagage for the petrol!

Thanks Den. At least you know how hard it is there. 2 runs, 2 "wild" carp in 25 sessions. I'm on a roll. ;)
