A wonderful picture. . . an excellent capture. Just wonder what it would be like with a longer exposure. Worth a try? . . just look out for the rogue wave!

Very good. If the Lions don't get you the Z-PF will!

Each river is different. My local tends to get busy with Barbel anglers so the decent Chub now stay hidden until dusk, only the smaller fish feeding during day light. . . . Then it's like someone has hit a switch.

The 'RE's are excellent. I use a pair of 6000's for Carp, and a pair 5000's for Barbel. I would recomend a 5000 which you should be able to pick up for £50 - £55 They will handle line from 8 to 12lb.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The family firm is run by Elizabeth Stevenson, who is chair of the National Federation of Fisheries Organisations. Leading by example so it would seem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give that man a match!

A phrase by Blackadder springs to mind . . ."Oh Bugger" !!

So she was ( is ) a Welsh Bitch then??

I'm told my grandfather saw the onset of the 2nd world war and stocked up with loads to tinned food etc. Everyone though he was nut's. . . then surprise . . war broke out. Leons right. The short duration of supplies in the event of a national emergency would quickly result in chaos. Panic buying would empty the shops in 2 days, or less!! Remember the scare about a toilet roll shortage only a few years ago!! If the roads bacame impassable through snow, floods or whatever not only would food and the niceities of life soon disappear, but what about repairs to water pumps plus the general infrastructure supplying basic needs such as electricty, waste disposal et'all. The population were more honorable and stoic years ago, these days the attitude has changed you only have to witness those out and about on our streets on any night. From time to time I have wondered if I should just stock up with a couple of weeks worth of supplies, but never have. I like to think I have my finger on the pulse and would see it coming . . but then again so would many others and they would be in front of me in the queue!!!

Hi Tony They belong to Dave.. ( Dave Harden - Breamagain ) He wanted to add a post asking if anyone had seen them, but his work computer has crashed taking all his passwords and email addresses with it. If you PM me with details I can either phone or email them to him. Cheers

Hi It was great to meet everyone yesterday. Tony and Sue many, many thanks for arranging the day, though you booked the decent weather one day early! Lyn, thanks for the tea, bacon roll and pies. Gave me heart to face the long trip home. The mulled wine hit the spot, and allowed us all time to reflect on absent friends. Fishing wise. I started with the float on the fast carrier and to a small extent to main river, taking a decent Brown and a Salmon Parr. I should had keep a trickle of maggot feed going but my blue fingers would not allow it. My faithfull waterproof jacket was not so faithfull. Memo to self, invest in something better. Giving in I went for the last resort and swopped to a feeder rod and sat under an umbrella for a while on the main river but soon moved to escape the wind. Christian and Dave decided that a trip to warm up in the local pub was an excellent idea and for once I was keen go along . . thinking of a warm hand dryer. The dryer worked a treat but the locals must have though it strange I kept making repeated & protracted trips to the gents. I had several layers to dry, honist! After warming though, we returned to have another bash with the float rods. Christian decided to kip in the car while Dave and I braved the elements. The fast carrier was calling, but the weather and cold beat us back. Oh and casting into a tree did not help. Hope everyone had a safe trip home.

Steves right, the Grayling like it clear. The rivers clear at present, and weather permitting should remain so.

In July My family and I flew to San Francisco via Minneapolis from Gatwick. At Gatwick we went though security and had a couple of hours to kill air-side. While enjoying breakfast a couple of women were wondering about giving out free samples of anti-perspirant in mini aerosols. Great, popped one in my hand baggage. Wife and kids got several. All was fine until security at Minneapolis, the mini aerosol was confiscated and I was given a good telling off while my wife and kids stood there grinning at my discomfort. Rather odd that my wife and kids were let though with their collection!

This job is pants.

Fuggles . . but have not been able to find it for years. Developed from the Fuggle hop from Wadhurst.

Pheeeeeeeeeeeew . . . One day

FG In some ways your correct. Mullet are seen in small numbers, very small - one or two, throughout the winter months. But we have a very cold east wind to contend with, chipping ice drops of the rod rings and Mullet just dont seem to go together!

Hi FG I intended to night fish this year but for one reason and another did not make it . . I'll be trying next year. Why? Last season I arrived at a Medway spot before dawn and after taping a couple of starlights to my rods made an early start, after a few moments I had the best bite ever experenced from a Mullet, no warning, the butt lifted ( fishing dangle down ), a grab to save the rod found me conected to a 6lb'er. Mental note to self . . I must, must get out to meet a night tide. Had a trip last Saturday. Hoping to arrive with the rising tide, but the M25 put paid to that. Made a start at half tide but did not see a single fish. Another angler said he had seen them in good numbers earlier in the week, but it was not to be. So washed and packed my Mullet gear away . . just awaiting spring! I know what will happen . . I'll get a call tomorrow from some Medway locals . . !!

Thanks 5B, I know exactly where you mean, which makes it all the more surprising.

Fantastic 5B. Where in SE London?
