Calling Specialist Barbel Anglers

[Peter Waller]

Ahhh, almost a real angler!! But was it on a cane and pin?

[Russell Fitzpatrick]

Peter Waller:

Boilies and barbel!! Whatever next? Bivvies on the bankside, carbon rods and bite alarms! Oversized egg beaters and four rods!! Whats wrong with oversize Barbours and floppy hats? Whats wrong with cane and pins? Whats wrong with garden worms? Dash it my good fellows! You'll be using braids, bolt rigs and circle hooks next! Humphhhh, whats the world coming to!

why not?if it helps me catch why not?if they they have been already feeding on them and ignore most other offerings why not?when used sensibly and not piled in why not?i fish with one rod,no alarms,oh and i wear a floppy hat bolt rigs?pah they hook themselves most of the time anyway bolt rig or not.

I used breadflake for the barbel I caught on Saturday evening!

my first barbel was caught on breadflake.

Boilies have no soul.

[Peter Waller]

But do the barbel police allow them?

[Russell Fitzpatrick]

maybe they dont but when them barbel are held up for the camera they have soul.i suppose when luncheon meat and corn were first used they had no soul?i dont give a monkeys about the barbell police mate,there a myth in london anyway...i see your points but c'mon adapt, all good anglers adapt.

 

terry lampard a fine specimen hunter use's boilies how many sevens(chub) and doubles(barbel) has he had?

 

no soul!?>>>grow up.

Err Ratty, you have bitten a treat! Perhaps I should have put a few in there somewhere! Trouble is, I'm not much of a winker!

[Russell Fitzpatrick]

im not wound up but i am putting my point across,it did sound a biit ignorant ( your posts) wich i wouldnt normally expect from you. yes i did bite.you got me....

[Peter Waller]

Sorry Ratty. Knowing just how sensitive some barbel anglers are, bless 'em, just had to dangle a bait! Yep, I can be an ignorant old bu*ger; its all down to the inbreeding yer know!

[Russell Fitzpatrick]

lol all well n good i used to think boilies and barbel dont mix,but i came round in the end,i aint a fan of buzzers on the rivers tho or bivvies for that matter,but some do use them and if it works for them and they dont disturb me -leave em to it.inbreeding aint that far out are ya!lol
