Well just thought I would say hello!
I used to do a lot of carp fishing and the occasional barbel trip. But 8 years ago I got married and started a family so the missus wasn't happy with me disappearing for the weekend so I stopped.
I got involved with my local club and became involved in match fishing for a while. However this resulted in me becoming the match secretary, which again began to take over my sparetime, wife not happy!
So this year I decided to change my approach for the summer, and realised that I had never caught a double figure barbel, so that was my goal for the summer. BAD NEWS, I now have the bug! I must have an addictive personallity coz thats all I want to do! I have even been going for a hour in my lunch break
Well I have upped my PB 10lb 8oz and am endeavouring to improve this!!
My only problem is that I seem to keep catching the same fish
