dont all laught target eel this year is a 7lb large guffaws all round , have been invited to fish private pit in colne valley so watch this space , tench target over 8lb 15ozs so thats spring and summer taken care of . as to the winter this year cold be a big thames perch or chub target chub has to be over 6lb 8ozs , should give me something to do ! lucky her indoors is understanding . well thats my ramblings over with . good luck to all who post in your hunt.

Still going to be chasing 6lb anguilla this year, giving catfish a break this year as had a cracking season last year on them. I am still after a PB Blue Shark having had Lemon Sharks to 340lb and Black Tips to 140lb the british sharks are proving a lot tougher nut to crack.
I am also trying to get my own lake dug for Eel conservation that could be my biggest result if it comes off.

Do u need an extra spade for the work Devoneels?

well said dave , try my missus for your piking guide , she's caned them this year on the rivers , but ended in the hospital with a nasty cut on her thumb for the last high double she had yesterday.

Is she okay Ade?

can't complain about the Pike to be honest, not fished for them this winter, but had three low doubles while after the Zeds.

Dave , lucky for me she will live , duffy was right it a good thing she doesn't like eel fishing with the amount of large pike she has caught this year i would never catch .

EEL , I think it will take more than an extra spade unless you have dug out 2 acres before!

The only 2 arces I have got is after sitting on cold river bank fishing for chub.

hA HA HA Eel. this year i am after a new pb eel and i really would like a zander of any size, i,ve never caught one

he is still waiting for that chub, took him 20 years to catch a 5lb chub from the wye, took myself, a handful of session, fishing on my own, all goes to show the right tactics in the right place always pay off

Yep Son, and a pair of G.B. so you can just drop into a swim on the R.Wye and catch a PB.

Here is the PB Tench from Willow Pool this year.

4lb 13 ozs. Caught on a Lobworm.

Also I have managed to catch my P.B. Eel from "Springs"

4lb 13 ozs. Having a good year so Far
Soon be on the rivers.
