Bigswordsy shows his 15 foot Fox rods to the world and proclaims..There is a God

[Fred Bonney]

Highest I've fished it today!

 

[CRITTER]

how did you get on Fred?

 

[CRITTER]

its like that then!

 

[Fred Bonney]

All right,all right...good.

Get out there, and give it a go.
I may pop over on the sunday,can't be there before.

 

[Lee Swords]

As long as its not running dirty ie loads of rubbish and stuff we should be okay.

I would like it to run off a fair bit though to be honest as Flood fishing can be a bit hardcore

 

[Fred Bonney]

I think all the rubbish has gone through,so unless we have another deluge,you should all be ok.

 

[Graham Marsden (ACA)]

I was on the upper Trent yesterday. It was just short of flowing into the fields and I only just made it down the tracks to the river, going through several inch depths of water in numerous places.

I found a couple of decent looking swims (one a slack I could fish with a 1oz lead (see picture) and one almost in the main flow I could just about fish with a 5oz watch lead, but I never had a bite in either swim. The debris coming down wasn't too bad.

I only gave it three hours as I got a bit jumpy when the water came up another inch or so while I was there and I was wary about more water covering the tracks.

You only need a couple of days without any rain though and it'll make a big difference. Fingers crossed!

 

[Lee Swords]

four good days without anymore big deluges beforehand are all we need I reckon

And it should be cock on

 

[CRITTER]

its looking good so far!

 

[Lee Swords]

Right come on lets have a list of anglers!


Who is going?

 

[Geoff Cowen]

Lee, it is still in the balance. My wife Judi isn't to well at the moment and may be starting some more Chemo this week so I will be making a late decision, I will do my best to be there if only for a short time. I still haven't tried out my new 15' Fox Barbel rod yet and would love to try it on the Trent but Judi comes first. Tight lines to everybody if I don?t make it.

 

[Sean Meeghan]

Me. Friday and Saturday if I can, but definitely Sat.

 

[sash]

Is this for Friday 13th and Saturday 14th? Might possibly make Friday but definately can't Saturday night.

 

[Dicky (Angling Trust PAC)]

I'll be coming along with my mate Jim and staying Friday eve through to Sunday pm.

Which pegs are we going for? 40s 50s?

PS thanks for the rig photo Lee

 

[Sean Meeghan]

I'll aiming for the mid 40's. Just my age!

 

[chavender]

as it ain't too far ,i'll see if i can do both sat(14)/sun(15)i'll whip me tent out if the weather is fine [l'm a fair weather camper ) ]

 

[Steve Spiller]

Geoff, good luck mate, my thoughts are with you.

 

[Geoff Cowen]

Thanks Steve. It looks like I will be making it, my wife fancies a couple of days away with the caravan before she starts her treatment next week, so we are heading for a site at Newark. I will be dropping in for a couple of hours to say hello to everyone and have a fish.

 

[Lee Swords]

excellent!

 

[Paul B]

Good luck lads, if your ears are burning while you're there it'll be me calling you rude names while i'm on nights!! :0)
