Impressive catches mate .Otters all but fecked our local barbel water .Couple of dead fish found with just the brain eaten and well into double figures too .Had a 14.7 from same river 22 years ago and made the angling times back then ,caught on a huge bunch of maggots with a maggot feeder ,size 8 hook .

Had numerous teens from there and chub to 6 1/2 .

Had a decent barbel taken by a pike at the net one evening ,scared the crap out of me .Fish was ok though once essox let go .

Played a pike for 40 minutes recently  on a lake that took a 4 pound tench that died of its injuries .Pike was 30 plus without a doubt when I saw it take it in the shallows .

Got to love the savage takes from a barbel and the first run is the same as the last .

You ever had to walk down /up stream with a running fish mate ,that when you know it’s a good un .

give me a shout and i sort you some fishing on the wye....the big 1 I had last night went 13lb 6oz,should go 15 plus winter time?

Can’t go wrong with the source boilies. Went to France carp fishing last year for a week and they were what worked best. Always got a bag with me even if I’m not going to fish with them that day it’s good to have a few with you. My mate swears by them
