Have you thought about Barbel fishing Jon?

 

The Wye can't be far from you. Thats arguably the best river in the country for barbel, and barbel are the best coarse fish to catch (IMHO).

Sounds good Richie. I've got the Wensum very near to me. Biggest I've had was 13lb 4oz but I've seen a 20lb fish landed. Mind you that was five years ago (I have five year old twins so not had time for fishing much). I've heard the otters have decimated the barbel round here sadly. I have a mate who fishes the Wye evey year, tells me its ace

You name it they use it. One bloke uses spam soaked in hp sauce and yep it works. Steve Pope who writes for the angling times has got a holiday home on here

Well I'm onthe river here so I've never got as far as the sea. My neigbour goes Bass fishing though. Sometimes I get a Seabass filet passed over the hedge I like the idea of eating what you catch.

don't tell her its a hobby Richie. If you could put a five pound salmon on the kitchen table, like that bloke, then surely you're making a valuable contribution to the family
