  1. Nasty things, the one that got me won't be getting anyone else though! Happened at Hambridge so there must be a population there
  2. Anybody heard of them? No? Neither had I until one bit me last night, now my hand is twice it's original size and spreading up my arm. Few hours in a&e and I've been sent off with some extra strong antihistamines and the hope it doesn't get infected! Moral of the story is don't forget insect repellent!

    Well done Paul lovely barbel!
  4. That is an unreal sized chub! Would love to see one in the flesh (or scales should that be?)
  5. All of my fishing (90% barbel fishing) is done with a pair of okuma 'pins, no better sound than the ratched screaming to life as a barbel shoots off downstream
  6. Anyone interested in mine before it goes on fleabay?
  7. Saw a few good perch in the reeds bit just before the point where the backstream joins again the other week

    Car tax

    Which in turn creates more revenue as it happens on EVERY car that is sold not just a handful that are sold without tax. The majority of used cars are sold WITH tax currently therefore avoiding the double paymentpayment. The change you can't see is the fact that there is no avoiding it and the government can guarentee free cash their way for EVERY used car sale now
  9. I've been toying with the idea all day but with no brolly or bivvy it would have been a tad uncomfortable!

    lure rod

    Looking for a fairly cheap, light lure rod and a small reel to go with it. Any recommendations? I won't be casting any big lures/spinners just small jig heads for perch in the margins. Also can anyone recommend a light wire trace, I only need it to comply with club rules as I will be targetting the perch by sight, so as supple as possible please!
  17. It came out on the day the picture was posted that the fish was never weighed and it was his mate that put the pic and the claimed weight up as a laugh Eta
  18. Was just briefly attached to something that 'locked up' my 1.75tc korum barbel rod and snapped my 12lb mainline when I tried to stop it getting into snags line snapping under a lot of tension makes a pretty loud crack!
  19. It will have been, this isn't technically the river it is a weir from the canal that joins back into the canal after flowing through a small backstream. Would have had to travel a fair distance to get here from a lake in the floods Here is the 23lber, from 2011 if I remember rightly
  20. Cheers tigger, it had a proper belly on it for a river carp. Must admit I was a tad gutted when it first surfaced as the barbel go well into double figures here. Incidently it's the same venue I had my 23lb09 river common from a few years ago
  21. Unfortunately not another barbel but still a cracking fish from flowing water I Think 17lb on the nose taken from the tail end of a weir
  22. Just had another double, thats 3 so far this season! Hoping it carries on, could see some very large fish landed later in the season will try and get a pic up when I remember my pgotobucket password and username
