Nelson, Put a post up when you want to go or pm me and I'll put you in contact with some local clubs mate,a lot of the lads from Liverpool fish a section of the Dane that runs under the M6,not too far for them.
-
Ay up charmer, I never smile on me picks.....its not because I'm not pleased,I just end up looking stupid and gummy. See you in the morning,nice and early
-
Yep they are around mate...........15 lb plus is a huge fish but not an unrealistic target nowadays.
-
Would be whopper mate, there in the Ouse and wensum with the Trent not far behind and a few others. My bet is one of the Thames tribs to throw up one a 20lb plus next.

each to theyre own jd. my feeders ar built around a 4 0z uptide lead with wires you should try them jd you could then step down from your six oz leads to three or four. hold like hell and easy to cast and more fun fishing with. belive me jd i fish with this feeder set up all times, and this river can rise 3 meters in five hours. the watch leads with wires are also a great set up. get more hooked fish also A lot of wired leads are now banned on fisherys because of the potenial damage they can do too fish once in the landing net, having said this I aint seen damage from the use of

nice fish jd. would you go for a pva bag ,or a feeder of first choice each to they'r own just intersted always the bag......always i fish the wye and a bag would get washed away in no time on rivers like this jd use four oz watch leads to and still a pull. nice to fish with bags,but trickle feeding with feeder does the trick here. you got fast rivers near yo jd. and how do yo cope when in flood. Nice little trick to stop your bags from washing away before they hit bottom is to either double bag over on your PVA(bit more costly?) or soak your made up bags for a few days in

Spent a warm weekend in worcestershire on a friends stretch of the River Teme. Roving tactics were the order of the day with mimimal tackle,PVA bags and Elips pellets. In between beer drinking,curry,and fry ups(all made in my fishing van)I ended up with 4 barbel and the biggest went to 10lb 4oz......well chuffed with that!!!!!!!!
-
Cheers pal Some cracking carp indeed dude, even better when caught on your own home made bait
-
Here you go mate http://www.hinders.co.uk/products/elips-pellets/39/
-
I'll second the Elips pellets............brilliant. The very bait of Trefor West Have a look at Hinders on-line
-
get yourself over......dont forget i got those things for you too... Tis a nice clean fish that JD, night temps are dropping now but you cant beat a winter evening session on the bank
-
Cheers Doga, I'm out again sunday evening for a session on the Dove in a place where some of the fish I saw in summer dwarf the ones in the pics. They'll be packing more weight on from sept onwards ready for winter so I'm hoping for some real big whackers soon
-

This one is at 9lb 13 oz a few weeks before the 10 lber taken from the same swim to the same bait . Interesting that most of the biggger fish I've had have been right in the dead of the night or early hours. oh and yes its another good double chin pic just for the cheshire lads
-
It was from the dove near to sudbury. Hi Wilf The area sees one or two anglers but I had done a small amount of pre baiting in that particular swim.
-
Its gotta be the double chin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hi mate It was taken with a single glugged 18 mm boilie with a golf ball size pva bag of very small mixed pellets, conditions at the time were quite low and clear, I'd not had anything in the daylight hours but they soon switched on to the bait once it was dark.
-
Taken week before last from the river Dove Staffordshire at 10 lb 6 oz.
-
Nice pic of him resting, lovely.
-
Ay up matey,yep was a cracking weekend with one or two coming to the net.............speak soon mate.
-
Started the season off on the river Dove, very low and clear conditions without many fish showing themselves, as a result most of my barbel are coming at night. Heres my first fish of the season at 9lb
-
It's the start of the coarse river season Yep just been sorting out all my barbel gear and shall be off up to the river Dove tomorrow evening. My mate and I will have a good old feed in the vans then get our heads down ready for an early start Monday morning, cant wait
-
Lovely condition indeed mate, I bet your fish looks a lot nicer than the big old thirty!!! well done mate
