Yes, he most certainly was . . . . . .
Now he's the next John baker
No, he most certainly isn't . . . . .
I've never heard of John Baker, he seems to be held in high regard, honest question - Should I have?
NB - I don't fish for Carp of Barbel in the sense of two rods plus Boilies
John was/is a pioneer in the bait game, particularly for Barbel baits . . . .
John Baker Baits
He wrote a god little book on Barbel baits some time ago too . . . . I'll see if I can find a link to a copy as it is a good read . . . didn't takelong:
john baker - modern baits and tactics - AbeBooks
Copies are getting quite pricey now though I see
Just another in the long line of instant success merchants . . . . . .
I had both carp and barbel feeding together on both pellets and boilies only the other day. You ought to have seen the tiny, crawl-through, close when exiting, tunnel I cut through some bushes with secateurs and a folding pruning saw to get to them!
And he could eat an apple through a tennis racket.He certainly does seem to have a large pair of balls on him.
It's a swim that I last fished in 2007-08, on a river. One memorable 2006 late-ish summer afternoon I had five or six carp, two commons among them, feeding cheerfully away in front of me, completely out in the open, when three or four small barbel appeared from some faster water below, then began feeding a few feet downstream of the carp.
The common that I caught, by no means the largest there by any means, went a little over 15 pounds, one of the small interloper barbel, caught an or so hour later, went 9-01. Amazing how small even big barbel look beside large carp.
Please keep your drivel to your threads Paul
