12 lb Barbel Caught This Morming

[mdgfishing]

Just looked on your photo site, i am going to call you Barbelman from now on very impressive indeed.

 

Just a couple of questions for you. What did you use to catch the great Dane on i have been trying for years without success, and i have been also been using the dog cleaning technique but have not got the timing right just yet can you give me some tips.

 

 

Very Funny reply M8 did use the Washing maching to get your dog clean :)

Many thanks Elton I have caught many fish of 8lb no more than 5 9 lbers none at 10 or 11 lb then in one year I get 2 different fish in different locations at 12. & 12 1oz

 

As stated I have my own site www.mdgfishing.co.uk and if you remember I work (unpaid) as an assistant admin over at www.digi-darkroom.com where we have a few members from AN.

 

Please keep up the good work Elton your doing a great job

Thanks Steve I fish around the Newark area , sorry but thats about all the info I'll give out I once disclosed where I caught 3 catches of bream over a 100 lb and I have never been able to fish there again. bobs Island Newark is as good as anywhere as I have had (lb plus from there . in recent years.

 

Best of luck

These fish were caught At around 0430 I have just returned home from an all nighter.

 

The Barbel weighs in at 12lb the 2nd best by 1 oz of my fishing career which spans 45 years this really is a fish of a life time and I am so lucky to have caught 2 of such a great weight.

 

 

Well done MDG Jealosy reigns eh?
