      Back on the river after a lovely weeks holiday in Bournemouth.

      Lost a huge barbel, which went for a bit of garlic spam,to a snag in the weirpool,
      then caught this on cheesepaste.

            Thanks hfb.

            A lot smaller than your amazing catches! I can't imagine what that's like!

            My only experience of sea fishing from a boat was being violently sick for a couple of hours off the coast of Cornwall when I was 13 (after a storm & a mint cornetto 😶 :D)

            Today 12-2.30pm

              Nice looking tench (which I believe is the english word for the last fish)! I was very intrigued by it as a kid. I haven't been fishing at all this year, but that's gonna change soon. Visiting my parents in our cabin next week. The ocean is probably way warm, but hoping to catch a few pikes anyway 🙂

                cheers Peter, thats the one, tench. Very strange to find it in turbulent water.

                Hope you have good time at the cabin - do you lure fish, or live/deadbait for the pike?

                  I will be lure fishing, jerkbait to be precise. The water is very shallow and I can no longer get my hands on a boat. The waters are supposedly famous for pike and sea trout, but I've always had shit luck haha.

                        I took a friend who wanted to catch his first  barbel to the weir last week.

                        I set him up and just watched and advised.

                        He managed a couple of babies, a trout and a couple of chub 🙂

                        Hopefully better luck next with another mate in two weeks time.



                        I've been staying away from the weir and fishing a local mill stream where some very big barbel come out.

                        No luck yet, but great location.

                                    Peter, Giles :  🙂

                                    Thought Id give the barbel fishing a rest for a week or so;
                                    I need a rest and a rethink if I'm going to get one over 10lbs.

                                    I met my mate at a local backwater, he was on the stickfloat :

                                    and I was on the light lures :

                                    Quite refreshing.

                                    I think I'll get the float rod out for a bit of stick float practice, as I've been invited to S'hampton in November for some Grayling fishing 🙂
