Guys before anyone says each to their own, or we all have free choice I'll tell you a tale and its true. If you go over the Trent at the A1 pits part you can see for yourself, as since 16th came and past a guy is fishing the river with only what I can say is the kitchen sink.
He has what looks like a caravan, awning and bevy set up. It looks like nothing I've seen before honest, and is really taking the mick I feel. I know folk camp out now for barbel, but what is it really all coming too. I understand a thread done just this week on not understanding fishing for barbel, right now it makes good sense to me. One chap on here said he did 3 long trips blanked and then had a cracker, traveled a long way to, that's what its about, not sitting on one river peg all week. I despair what angling is coming to I really do, catch at all cost. What about a bit of respect for the farmer, wildlife and others? I know I'll get slated, but hay?
I agree with "each to their own" but I also sympathise with rick's point of view - there is a picture on Newark Piscatorials website of the Winthorpe rack stretch of the Trent on 16 June, it looks like a motorway!! And since midnight through to the lunchtime, apparently no-one had seen a barbel, just one or 2 bream I believe ... I WONDER WHY ??
