That's not Spiller who caught the barbel.

That's John Cullshaw doing an impression of him.

 

[Steve Spiller]

Hahaha very good Corkey, wish I had his money!

It was nice to have a break from the roach Muffin, back on em this Friday. Although the weir at Keynsham is gone tonight! Hope it drops a bit, the secret venue should be spot on

 

[Morespiders]

Congrats, but still am looking forward to the pictures of you with a 2lb BA roach

So how old are you now Muffin? if your younger than Spiller you have a very small chance, failing that, do the lottery

Anyway Spiller two nice barbel them (CHOKE)

Cheers Rodders, how did you do that???

I've gotta stop doing that with my middle finger on my left hand.

Hmmmmm!! i would ask Wend! :wh






I've gotta keep pinching myself too, this year has been lousy for the conditions, but I've done fantastically well up until now. I really don't know what to do, barbel or roach?

Go with your instinct!........barbel dont mind it really mucky, roach like it fallin out, and you are on a roll

 

[Michael Townsend 3]

Paul, with you being a good experienced roach angler as well, could you see all those big redfins behind Spiller in those pics???........he he

 

[Steve Spiller]

G00d brace steve,

I still can't crack the magic double,just 1 once short...

 

[Steve Spiller]

In that case Stu it might be time for a BA fish-in? The venue holds big pike and carp too. The trouble is the weather, it's bank high at the mo'

[Dicky (Angling Trust PAC)]

Are you practicing to be a carp fisherman in that first shot? The lens is generally in front of you matey!!

Lovely to see the pics, having heard the tale; a very memorable brace, well done Steve!

 

[Neil Maidment]

Those big roach "head & tailing" in the background of the first shot really turn it into a cracking photo, clever that, well done.

Nice couple of gudgeon tho!

Burnished Sphericals for you too!

 

[Ray Daywalker Clarke]

Nice brace steve.

My son went after barbel on Tuesday with a mate of his. He has had a great season, but the last few weeks have been slow. he wanted to put a bend in his rod, so i sent him to a part of the River Lea i know, not big fish.

Between them they had 32 Barbel, yes 32, 5 over 8lb, biggest 8lb 7ozs, the rest 4lb and over, not big, but great fun. Almost forgot, they had 1 chub about 2lb all on Red maggot.
