    Neither can I. Every swim iv'e looked at looks bob on for a stick float and Maggot approch. Trouble is, iv'e set my stall out for a Barbel. I'll give it a go on the float soon. Might as well.............. The Wye. Can't wait.

    Anyone wear them ?? Got fitted with a pair yesterday and I'm struggling to see. My long vision is only slightly better, but close up, forget it. Been wearing glasses for a few years now, but don't like them. Close up and around the house, i'm fine without glasses. Except watching the TV. I need them for long vision and driving really. The optician said "Stick with the Contacts, your eyes will adjust to them" FFS how long does it take ?? Can't see a thing. PC screen is all blurred. Wasn't before. At this rate, it'll be back to glasses. It's playing havoc with the fishing.

    That's it, short session today. Same result as the previous 4 trips. Going home via the Trent, have a look for a possible Barbel session on there.

    Today's swim. Last chance saloon for this week. Got here at 5:30am. G/B feeder across, boilie down the edge. Made one schoolboy error, no wellies, me feet are soaked. A feeding Kingfisher on the other bank is a nice start to the day.

    I'm fishing a Stillwater on Friday with a lad from work. Skimmers and the odd Bream, feeder fishing. Should break my duck there........ Hopefully !! Gonna be on the Dove again early doors tomorrow. Mind you, just had contacts fitted today, so may see fook all

    A few nice ones in here, mainly French. Southern Rhone for a full bodided wine. Nice on a winters evening with a nice homemade Stew after all day outside. Burgundy is fairly light. Drinkable all year but nice at a BBQ. Bordeaux is a bit of both. Can be very expensive. As can the others if you buy good ones. My advice. Buy the best you can afford, your throat will thank you for it the next day. Beer isn't the only drink with chemicals in it. Cheap wine is exactly that, cheap.

    Well, waterlicked again. But so were the other 2 lads fishing tonight (At least they were when i left) I think i may have overestimated how few barbel are actually in the Dove. Still it was a pleasent evening. ........ Anyway, onwards. Wednesday's next up. Early doors this time.

    One of the local "Old boys" has just had a word, apparently there are only 2 really big Barbel(17lb) left in the river and there aren't that many others either. He said Your fishing for just one bite.

    Ding! Ding! Ding! Round 4 of the Arch vs Dove Barbel saga. Tonight swim is the one I wanted last time out, but boy is it uncomfortable to fish. Similar tactics tonight, G/B feeder with Hemp and Pellet . Pellet on the inside under an overhanging Willow.

    They, they. I meant they. Sorry

    Hair rigged Jelly Tots I've heard. A Red and a Blue one. I will be there a few days before the match, I'll post up what I've been catching on.

    Been on here before, but there is somthing about this photo that catches my Eye ?? We've actually had this picture done in Pastals. Minus Betty.

    Not really an option when iv'e just paid over £100 for a Burton Mutual ticket i'm afraid. Her indoors would go mental when I say to her "I just need a Milton Keynes AA ticket, I'm off the fish the Great Ouse" Maybe the odd trip up to Collingham could be on the cards. But, for my own health, i'm better sticking at it here. I'll crack it. I don't think my rigs are that wrong, or my bait. The hook baits my need some fine tuning. I struggle to get my head around how a fish thinks that a small round hard object, is actually food ?? But Pellets and Boilies are the in bait now and thats what is

    That's it, rodding up. Blanked again.
  18. Ossie n Arch
    Not as far as I know. Only seen one other angler and he's 100yds away. Just don't think there is that many Barbel in the river.
  19. Ossie n Arch
    Hope you do better than I'm doing. Not so much as a bite here yet. Never seen so many Kingfishers as I have done in the last 3 trips though.

    TBH a big lump of meat trundled down the swim might not be a bad shout. Only problem, I ain't brought any. The pegs crying out for a big waggler down the middle and search the whole swim. The guy I spoke to earlier said this stretch does hold a lot of the rivers bigger Barbel.
  21. Ossie n Arch
    Not yet. Different tactics tonight. G/b feeder down the middle, with drilled pellet on the hook. Straight lead down the edge with some sort of boilie.
  22. Ossie n Arch
    Tonight's peg. The one I would have liked to have fished, someone had just beat me to it.

    Is that a lab cross? Not sure, he's a rescue. Been told he's got Deerhound in him, good hunter, but won't retrieve.

    LOL @ you guys. Not a bolt rig as such. The lead clip is semi free running, stopped by a swivel, and a 3 Foot hook length. Hardly Carp styleee bolt rig. ..........2oz was the lightest bomb i could get away with. It's the river Dove, a tributary of the Trent. I wasn't even fishing in the strongest part of the current, I was on the slacker bit just past the fast run. My feeders have a 4oz loading and iv'e got plenty of "Dead cow" leads to add more weight. Iv'e not even started on the Trent yet. Lots of weight needed to hold bottom on there, even if you do fish the "Bow" I mu
