Summer Trent Barbel Fish-in

[Herr General Swordsy]

If we do Collingham again we could book the hot pegs, I didnt this time because I was unsure of the turn out and didn't want to be left with a mega bill

 

[Paul B]

count me in for another crack at 'em.

****y, swellings going down now mate and didn't have silent dinner tonight...lol.

Paul H, thanks for the ice cream!

Hi all,

October would be good for another go for me, selfishly, I have no experiance of barble fishing in winter/floods so would love to see how it should be approached. I am going to give it a go anyway but some prior guidence would be appreciated. I dont know about anyone else but the 2nd or 3rd weekend in October is good for me.

Maybe a new thread should be started?

Which pegs at Collingham did you fish?

Cheers
Paul

 

[Herr General Swordsy]

Check out the new thread!

Firstly well done everyone I am glad the Trent turned up trumps for most of you and you all had a good time over the weekend. Secondly I would like to apologize to Swordsy and Matt who hosted the Fishin, for not turning up to what would have been for me a local Fishin, I am afraid I had to visit my Father in hospital in Barnsley and it would have meant dragging my arse along the riverbank and setting up late into Saturday night, disturbing everyone.
Seen the thread for the next fishin so I will put me name down and make sure I get to it.

 

[Herr General Swordsy]

No probs Tom hope everything is well with yer dad

 

[Matt Brown]

Tom, you best come to the next one or I'll send the boys round. ;-)

 

[Ian "snotman" Foden]

Well done to everyone, I had planned to get down after my day trip on saturday as I took 15 guys for a day out at Woodland Lakes, but ended up having to get a lift with two mates and ran out of time!

Those Rutilus sound great Bryan!

Definitely want to come to the next one Lee.

 

[Steve Spiller]

Me too Ian, The 5 hour drive will be worth it, I am sure!

 

[Big Swordsy :O)]

I think we will bag up big time come autumn but one thing I will have with me come October will be a half gallon of maggots minimum.....I think I missed out on some serious sport without having the grubs with me

 

[matt thomas]

I echo that sentiment lee,the lee who was with me buys the bait and i drive and he rang me and said shall i get half a gallon of maggots and i said no . DOH!i fancy a medusas head on a size 12 will be a killer,especially with marine groundbait and dead mags in a pva stick

 

[Big Swordsy :O)]

YES, Matt you are a carbeller of the highest order!

FUSION BOY!

:O)

 

[Matt Brown]

Following on from Ron's write up, I've created a page on my website with photos from the fish in. It's here

ps. Graham, I sent you the photos - did they arrive?

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay]

Hey Matt, I notice that there are two of us wearing decent hats!

 

[Paul H]

Matt you seem to have far too much spare time. I need a similar job any advice?
:0)

It would also seem that Swordsy has borrowed my head fashion!

 

[Matt Brown]

Paul, I was working at 11pm last night and I don't get any holidays or sick days!

I must admit though, if the conditions look good for fishing certain work might not get done straight away!

I'd still rather work in a bikini shop.

wouldn't we all, wouldn't we all......sigh.
