Fishing a new stretch of the Ribble and catching a double Barbel/Bream/Carp and a 7Ib Chub from the river.

Laurie Harper · Dec 23, 2004

To actually go fishing... Have been working most of the hours God sends this year. Anyone else in a similar situation?

Colin Smith 3 · Dec 30, 2004

To get on the river more often, even though I know I will catch more from the clubs stillwaters.

learn how to drive, catch a 14lb barbel, shag britney and christina, finally catch a trent twenty------oh, bol*ox i fell asleep in my cereal again!

To always turn off my antireverse when margin fishing for carp. Lost several fish because of this this year.

To always fish at least four spots when barbel fishing. Too easy to think - I can't leave yet - they are bound to move in.

To always cast to bubblers/rolling fish.

If in doubt - recast!

To always carry spare batteries.

Always check waders for holes

Always bring your sleeping bag

All of the above are resolutions based on mistakes made this year.

Same as last year and to make sure I continue to enjoy it all . To catch a ribble cat would top it for me though.

EC · Dec 30, 2004

To sort my gear out so that I can just 'get up and go' without having to root about to get it in order.

Baz · Dec 30, 2004

I sorted my gear out over the last few days Eddie, and it paid off, I had two nice chub this evening.
All I want is to catch a chub on New Years Day, I'll take the rest as it comes.

EC · Dec 30, 2004

Done it tonight, so that means I have to make another one now!

Matt Brown · Dec 30, 2004

I shall be trying to catch a Double figure Barbel - which means more visits to the Trent instead of the pretty rivers.

Pb. Tench (can't tell you what my current pb is as it's embarrassing)

To enjoy my fishing even more than I have this year, if that's possible.

If you are interested, Cochybondu books are selling the book (In Persuit Of Big Tench) by Len Arbery for ?4.50. (hardback).
There was a very slight problem in the shrink wrapping of the dust cover, which is hardly noticeable anyway. Usual price is ?19.95.
