How about this for a mixed bag>

[Ron The Hat Clay]

Using hefty method feeders, my own secret method mix incorporating Goo and Ringers 8mm mini-boilies ringing the changes with sweetcorn (pardon the pun), I copped a wonderful mixed bag of tench (3), roach (2), bream (13), carp (3), crucian carp (2), and rudd (9). The tench went to 5 lbs, the roach - 1 1/2 lbs, bream - 7 3/4 lbs, crucians - 3lbs and the carp - 14 lbs.

This took place at one of my favourite Lincolnshire lakes.

I am completely knackered.

And now to tackle the Trent.

Cracking day Ron

I`ll name that venue in one.

That catch would beat the venue records for those species in many places i fish

I have now had 4 sessions using Goo as a flavourant.

2 of those sessions, not today's, incorporated using two rods, one with goo on the bait and one without goo. The goo flavoured bait and method mix produced the most fish, including 3 crucians which almost equal those caught by myself and great angler Steve Crawshaw in the 60s.

There is no doubt that Goo works.

But no doubt there will be snide remarks from some members of this site.

By the way I started off with two rods. I had to give up that for a lark, and ended up with one rod. Two rods were one too many.

By the way, just heard from a mate of mine fishing the Trent. In one short session - 3 hours yesterday afternoon, he caught 9 barbel to 9 1/2 lbs on pellet and feeder on the Tidal. It was a nice mix of fish from about 3 lbs to nearly double figures.

Now that is great news and confirms that the Trent is certainly the UKs premier barbel river.

Only one angler, who packed up and went home about 11 am when I was about halfway through the catch. There were three anglers in a car who stopped and watched me land one of the bream, a 5 pounder as it was.

Other that that the lake was empty of anglers.

And the rule is that keepnest are not allowed.

I wish I had had a couple of witnesses to the size of the catch, but quite honestly this particular lake has been throwing up a few excellent mixed catches lately.

Pineapple smoke. I used a method mix groundbait mixed with lots of hemp and crushed Trigga boilies. The hookbait was either sweetcorn glugged in the goo, or 8 mm Ringers pink mini boilies fished on size 12 Drennan barbless specialist hooks to 5 lb Incognito hook length and 6 lb Pro Gold reel line. Drennan flat feeders were used.

Rods were 11 foot Harrison FM Concepts, reels - Shimano DL 4000 FA baitrunners. Alarms were Delkims and swingers - Fox.

There you are, a complete resume of the gear used.

I have been using Raspberry goo to flavor luncheon meat for Chub...... Early days........ But suspect it may have some legs on it
