Hello all - this is my first post in this section, I have to confess that I've not really done any barbel fishing in the past, however this is something I'd like to change! So me and three mates are looking to stay somewhere overnight close to some good barbel fishing, the idea being that we travel up in the early evening, have a decent scoff and a few beers and then go fishing early doors the next day.
The ideal venue would be somewhere known for its consistency rather than record-breaking potential - i'd rather everyone caught a three pounder than one of us caught a double. (ha ha, yeah I know.... maybe that should read "i'd rather everyone had the chance of catching a three pounder rather than one of us had the very slim chance of a double")
Also, the ideal venue would be two hours or less from Oxford... I know about the Red Lion in Bredwardine, but I think that might just be a bit too far.
I guess the best options would be on the warks avon or severn - any suggestions would be most gratefully received.
One last point (I Know, I don't want much!) - Ideally the fishing in question would be day ticket on the bank, or at least day-ticket in advance via mail order... that way, we can get to the river in the early morning rather than waiting for a tackle shop to open.
cheers all
