I don't understand?
I was hoping for some good advice on here.
I've tried the barbel society, they've yet to get back to me?

One of the guys on the contacts page on their website. It was only yesterday, he may not have read his e-mails yet.
Seems most of the info on there is geared towards bigger fish, not the smaller ones I'm interested in.
They sell them at my local garden center, but £4.50 a go is little out of price range for hook baits.

Who was the guy at the BS you contacted?
£4.50! That's a lot. My local garden centre does them for £3.50.

Was it wise to contact the BS? These are people who devote their angling time to catching barbel.They are hardly going to tell you how to catch little ones for livebaiting when they want them to grow into nice big barbel, which they can then pursue for the plessure of catching the RELEASING so they live another day.

Why not just net the river? Then you can pick out the smaller ones

Imagine:
"Dear fellow trout fishers, I'm having trouble picking out the brown trout from the rainbows in my local river.
I have to fish at night because of the bailiffs/forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif, and usually leger with worms or salmon roe.
I want to catch browns because I can get a better price for them, though I can shift the 'bows at a push.
Any ideas?
P.s. any idea how to work out how much cement to use on a strech about 10m wide by 600m long? And will tennis nets do to make sure I catch everything, or do I need something to hold the bottom down-or the top up?
Thanks in anticipation, 'Gaffer' "
Would you help him, Davey?
Yes,a barbel is just a fish, same as a roach or a trout. But the barbel enthusiasts don't feel it that way, even if they can get hold of the ideaintellectually. You're trying to widdle in their font, and they won't think it a good idea!
And irrespective of where the lake's stock of barbel came from, all livebaits MUST be caught from the water in which they are to be used. GArden center fish cannot be introduced unless you get enough for an E.A. section 30 certificate to be obtained - which would require the consent of the lake's owner. And probably a huge quarantine tank.

As Alan says, you'll have to catch your livies in the lake which you're fishing for the cats. My local ASDA does tinned whiskers - have you tried them?
Failing that if you drop Bob Roberts a PM he'll be happy to give you some tips on catching small barbel.
