i might have to take you up on that. Iv heard loads about the trent but never had chance to target it. I know next year me and a lad at work are going on the wye which is another barbel hotspot.

[Daniel cain 45,656]

The wye is the river I fish-between 3 of us this season we have caught around 130+ fish 6lb to 14 lb bags of chub,we fish for the pike next month.you ever seen the episode of Matt Hayes and mick brown fishing for pike/barbel on the wye?fished the same spots for 15 + years.alot of the stretches are blitzed these days fish are wising up but you can still bag up in the right spots-let me know when you planning the trip and I let you both fish as guests-atb dc

You can't appreciate them properly when they in a net or on a mat -got to get that cheesy trophy shot lol .atb dc

[Poacherspocket 189]

Thank you very much. Anyway you cant catch fish on the enternet so im just tying a few rigs ready for tomorow. The dearne is a very snaggy river lots of trolleys and bikes. Fingers crossed il atleast catch a few nice chub.

[Poacherspocket 189]

Well i didnt get out on the river but i fished a match today woth some lads from work. Very hard day came second with 5lb 6oz and plenty of maggot left so i will have a few hours tomorow on the river.
