Summer Trent Barbel Fish-in

[swordsy]

Anyone interested in a week end session on the Trent for a crack at old boris?

Any ideas on stretches and accomodation welcome!

 

[Warren 'Hatrick' (Wol) Gaunt]

You know the stretches and we will all bunk at your gaff.

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay]

OK Lee, I'll be there.

I'll give you a call.

 

[swordsy]

Warren you can bunk at my gaff if you want but I live in sheffield,my mother in law lives in nottingham but she is 80, the stretches are no problem its just getting something day ticket or free to suit most tastes and with easy drinking/sleeping facilities near by.

For me that has to be priest house/kings mill near Donnington.

Beautiful bit of river with decent barbel and chub all through.

Plus the beer at the priest house is cock-on and the breakfast is second to none (but expensive)

we could also do the clifton bridge length, but it isnt very pretty

thrumpton has a ?40 ticket

clifton grove is like Iraq and the car parking is dodgy

shardlow is good but on a ticket

We could do the tidal but that isnt my strong pointfor venues

 

[Phil Hackett 2]

I could be interested?
More info would be helpful, as it's a long time since I've been on the Trent. Mid 80s I think? Not many barbel in those days on the lengths I fished.

 

[Daniel Matley]

Count me in Swordsy, its been a long time since I was on the Trent. I Used to fish it a lot in the 80's and early 90's but I've not been for over ten years. In fact I had my first ever Barbel from the Trent at Besthorpe if I remeber rightly.......all of 4oz it was, probably a bit bigger now though.

A league of extraordinary gentlemen is building :O)

Bugger off an find another river there aint no Barbel here lmao!! Swordys says hes got a bivvy, you lot can kip with him and he can cook your bloody breakfast, hes a chef rofl!! Does this post suggest that some good Barbel are being caught on the Trent? If this is so I assure you its purely coincidental lmao!!!

 

[Ian "snotman" Foden]

Will I need a coleman Lee for the raticus's?

 

[John McLaren]

Does the move from Coarse Fishing to General Fishing indicate that something other than Chub and Barbel might be on the menu? Barbel fishing to be undertaken purely in a forlorn investigative mode you understand Don!

 

[Fred Bonney]

Oh, alright, I'll come to this one too ;0)

 

[Alan Roe]

Depending on dates count me in.....Now wheres that Trentbarbeller fella when I need him...!

 

[chavender]

i'll be interested if it doesn't clash with
May-27th & 28th.have you concidered the P.A.D stretch at barrow on trent ,it only
has about 20 pegs or so but there's barbel
and chub to be had,and they may allow some camping,all the pegging fee's goto charity

 

[Daniel Matley]

Er Chavender........May 27th/28th. Used to be the closed season didn't it?

 

[sash]

"i'll be interested if it doesn't clash with
May-27th & 28th"

hmmm, think that you should be alright on those dates seeing as they're in the closed season Chavender!

Count me in too. Best bet for access surely has to be downstream of Nottingham?

 

[sash]

Beaten to it again!

 

[chavender]

Doh! anyone got a few brain cells i could
borrow.i copy and pasted the wong date,it's
Saturday June 25th as i will be fishing at Stockton Reservoir .

 

[swordsy]

how about mid week dates to avoid the crowds?

 

[Graham Elliott 1]

I would be up for this as well if the dates fit.

Graham

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay]

Mid Week?

That would be ideal. What about the Tidal Trent, say Collingham. Stacks of barbel there including a few real big ones.
