Chears lads,
I've lost more Barbel than I've caught this year (lost another good one tonight but sort of compensated with a couple of chub to 4lb 4oz) but that's all part of the game really.

@Skinny, never liked Carp fishing, pigs with fins imho, I don't mind Tench fishing on stillwaters but my 1st love has always been on rivers and increasingly boats too
