the golden one

Yeah Matt....dont forget your net (and a sponge to wash all that bread off) LOL

Interesting reading chaps..thanks for your responses. Anyone fancy buddying up for a session...I'll bring the bacon sarnies!!!

I have caught a couple of tiny barbel but would like to catch a much bigger one. The location is my main problem as my pb's are as follows: Carp: 43lb(uk) , tench 8lb bass 12.5lb, smoothhound 15lb, tope 47lb, skate 17lb. I was just wondering if any AN buddies had any info. Have been concentrating on sea fishing for the last few years.

never had that problem myself

Light all the way as long as the tackle you are using is strong enough to land your chosen quarry

Hi all...I have set myself a target this year to catch a nice Barbel. I live in Essex and I am after a decent day ticket stretch to fish. Travelling is not a problem. Any ideas anybody!! Thanks

they are all the same...although i trust labour the least!!

He hung himself mate..can think of better ways to do it though!!

Is that felix?

Thanks guys...will try close in next time..are you there 'the dogs'

Help...I fish on the river crouch and no matter how hard I try i can't seem to catch a bass..any ideas gents?

Looks like a nice craft....how far out do you go..wish I had a boat but i've never had the money!!

Hi there...fished at the admiralty about 4 months ago and caught a coupl of small bass but the imigrants were a nightmare and the amount of rubbish that was left was disgusting..still as five bellies said better to fish than talk about it!!
