Angling Star

I heard very recently that the circulation of Angling Star has trebled in the last few months.

Part of this is due to interest being shown by members of this website. Which goes to show that websites and magazines can be good for each other.

Some negative comments were made some time ago that web sites will see the end of magazines.

Not so.

missed your column this month mate, whats going on, electronic wizardry will never replace the hard copy, no fears there.

The Angling Star is without doubt one of the finest periodicals on the market at present, giving a good all round picture of the sport but yet with a leaning towards specialist angling

I must admit Ron at first I thought it was too regional, but it has grown on me.
Interesting articles and excellent writers.
Its on the shelves in most West Midland newsagents, so the demand must be increasing.
Can we have more Midland based articles?

Ron. My only hope is that with increased circulation the publishers don't get greedy and up the cover price. I love to read the Angling Star mainly because it is like the big papers used to be like, enjoyable.

Somebody mentioned more Midlands based stuff. Well, that can only come if Midlanders contribute. Graham - not strictly a Midlander but very close - often has a piece in the Star.

I could do a blankers corner at the moment ;-))))

But I live in the blinking Midlands Kevan. I though it was Midlands from the Waford Gap right up to Geordie Land!!

Blankers's Corner? Why not come and have a session on the Trent this weekend. I need someone to net me blinkin' fish. ;o[

Oh by the way, if you want to create a few good barbel holding spots, chuck a couple of Asda trollies in the river.

Tref West put me onto that.

Thinking about it Cakey, you wouldnt like it up here mate, Ron gets a better class of ASDA trolly in his neck of the woods, in Manchester though they grow naturally in the rivers!

Tref West has a lot to answer for!

I've never seen a man made snag before but there is a man made gravel patch that I know of made from a sheet of corogated iron then concreted over with the gravel pushed into the wet cement ,once it dried the whole lot was lowered into a local swim, which I'm keeping to my self.

CAKEY
P.S. no it wasnt me ,I was told about it!

I took a twenty from the roof of an old reliant robin, it was under about five feet of water and I spent six month baiting it up, no shit Cakey,

I'll tell you mate, these carp anglers in the inner-city parklands are something else, they've all got big hairy chests,look like Rambo, the sleeves ripped out of their T-shirt, spikey hair, rings in their nose and full of tatoos and you should see the guys Cakey

(The horn that is!)
