    Hi All. Went for my usual 2 nighter on Fri/Sat with a friend (carper on his second visit to the stretch). His 1st visit a fourtnight ago he had 1 barbel n a couple of chubb n bream while I had 6 barbel fishing different tactics and baits. He arrived 1st so chose 2 swims next to each other at the bottom end on the flats. He had been to the supplier for the new boilies I've been using and was fishing identical end rigs to me and went on to kick my ass, 7 barbel to 1. 4 rods out fishing the same rigs n baits cast (clipped) to the same area yet all his fish fell to the same rod ? (maybe I gave him too much info). Any way he's back down with me this weekend, I think he's been converted. My only fish was 7lb 8oz and my mates best fish was 9lb 10oz. Its time to start getting wrapped up both nights the temps really dropped and I forgot just how cold it gets down there. ...

    Alreet chaps, just a quick post on what went on this weekend just gone!! Me and a couple of mates started on pit 6 friday night, trent bank side. Had little action by sunday morning so our kid pi**ed off home and me and my other pal decided to give pit 4 a go to save a possible blank! Sunday night didn't even produce a bream!! lol thought that would have been a banker to be honest!!
    Monday morning just as we were scaling things down i had a small run which resulted in this pristine common being netted!! Happy days!!
    The pits produce the goods once again!!! Till next time................. ...

    Hi guys and girls, Just had my first ever ever 48 hour session on pit 5 having only seen the complex once 3 years ago for a quick overnighter on pit 6, and i have to say what a cracking fishery you guys have here. I arrived on monday and set up in the corner on the A1 bank - 4/5 split facing into a fairly strong wind with fish showing very close in. 3 hours later i had banked an 11lb common and a 22lb mirror. Then the wind started to turn and the fish went with it. Unfortunately the rest of the a1 bank and 5/6 split ...
