Barbel Fish-in

Ant,

 

The £10 a night is for the camping only and charged per tent or bivvy, so if 2 of you use a bivvy it is only £5 each, day tickets are £6 a day on top. I asked about this and the camping is a tenner because you have the use of the showers/toilet block. You can either bivvy up on the river bank or pitch up on the site. either way it is a tenner. I intend to share a bivvy with Malc2, I suggest everyone does the same.

Thanks m8,

Put me down for the weekend. I think Cliff will be coming too.

It sounds like you have quite a bit of experience on this stretch. Any tips for us Avon virgins as I hear it can get very clear during the summer months. Do you use Halibut grounbait/pellets or maggots, hemp etc. Cheers

We are very good friends and fish a lot together anyway and Mr Burgess, there will be no hanky panky going on.

Ant,

 

The Avon does usually run clear in the summer and I don't fish it in the day much at all. I usually fish from tea time onwards. All baits will work but I tend to use pellet mainly and boilies and use pva bags. I will probably make some groundbait up too, but the bream love it so tend to shy away from that in the summer.

No at all Andrew

Don't forget those bleak!

 

Looks like maggots are a deffinate no no then. I fish the Teme quite a bit and the minnows are a bloody nuisance. Hemp and caster was a killer for the barbel. To expensive now though and will be impossible to keep fresh if its a warm weekend. Looks like it will be the halibut groundbait/pellets then.

Thanks

Ant
