  1. There's something wrong with barbel being in stillwaters? :):):)

     

    Most of my stillwater barbel have been on the float as opposed to leger/feeder, the final take is usually positive but no more so than from the more numerous carp.

  2. There's a good old article here, but the pictures don't display for me anymore...

    The method usually works reasonably well for me in the winter at commercials, although I switch bait from sweetcorn to a small bunch of three or four maggots at this time of year. As ever in the winter you need to locate the fish, the winter banker swim on one pool is behind the biggest of several small islands.

  3. I've caught lots of perch this year on floatfished luncheonmeat from my local gravel pit, including several low 2's. One afternoon early this autumn I had 8 sizeable perch to 1½lb on luncheonmeat, my best perch haul ever. I made sure I took worms on the next trip, and then couldn't get through the double figure carp :rolleyes:.

  4. A nice report and photos as usual Janet :).

     

    You didn't say what you trimmed your (wrong) line with, I find it easier and neater to use nail clippers on mono rather than scissors (although nail clippers are useless with braid).

  5. That sounds like a cracking day, but where's the photo of the 2lb roach :)?

     

    There aren't many commercial fishery fans on this site, so tales of 100+ fish (even if they aren't all carp) are unlikely to get many positive responses.

  6. I very much doubt it, or else why have a pike season in the first place?

     

    To find out for sure you could always phone them...
