Hello Andy, I'll be on holiday in the Shrewsbury area in a couple of weeks time(hired a farm cottage for 2 weeks for me and the missus). Bewdley is not far away, so I might give it a go if there is a day ticket on the site. Never fished for Barbel, any tips? All the best...hoppy.

I'm a Happy Hoppy, Nug :cool: read your private message

Hi, wooton, I don't know the area, but generaly speaking, to get started on pier fishing, you need to know how fast the tide runs in and out, you need 3 and 6oz sinkers and maybe some gripleads to hold bottom, a rod to suit, like a surfcaster able to cast 3 to 6oz sinkers. A sea fixed spool real,if you can't manage a multiplier reel(which can be difficult to master) at least a 100 yds 25/30lb breaking strain line, a simple single hook paternoster rig, 1.0s or 2.0s hooks. I don't know the local preference for bait, but ragworm and or lugworm should do. Try not to fish into weed/kelp beds, you'll get plugged every time and loose bottom ends. Check the tide times and try and fish 3 hours up and 3 hours down. Ask the lads on the pier, when you get down there, or in the local sea tackle shop, for all the information you need, they'll usually keep you right.Basically that's it, good luck and don't fall in. cheers...hoppy

Yes, met lots of people and made lots of friends, and very sociable too. When I did a lot of sea fishing (shore) a few years ago, a few of us got together and formed our own angling club. Grand days they were. When you met someone night fishing in the winter all wrapped up in waterproofs and balaclavas, all you could see was the whites of there eyes, so when you met them later on socially, you would only recognise them by thier voice
