Out on the Benyons again today caught three barbel to 6lb.
The river was still up for the time of year but the flow was very slow, is this to do with all the extra weed this year? Pete W |

River running low and clear I spent last two evenings on Wasing had 6 Barbel in total Chub and Roach lost a couple of fish all in all excellent sport . The
most productive times (as to be expected) was around sunset for the barbel all fish were in excellent condition and for the their size (3-6lb) fought really
well on a variety of methods i.e. float, rolling and ledgering. I have started to use a centrepin reel for my close in ledgering just using the line or
ratchet for bite indication and the excitement of the ratchet screeming as the fish takes the bait is awesome.........I really like this Barbel fishing lark!

Fished the Kennet for a few hours Tuesday Night and most of Wednesday with a mate. We both had one on statics during darkness hours but then nothing at all on
statics throughout Wednesday. However I managed somehow to get 5 rolling meat up to 8 1/2 pounds. Still not quite sure how I managed it, but it does prove
the merits of a moving bait on occasions. Great fun and very rewarding.

Nathan,
I am going to say 'told you so' and Well done! I have been catching rolling sometimes not knowing how but you think your snagged up and you pull to free it up and all of a sudden it pulls back! I have notched up 33% more fish than my mate Rob in the last 3 weeks all thanks to Jez showing me how to roll meat and I am still a total dunce at it but on the odd occasions I get it right (and a few I don't) bang. Keep the faith its another tool in the box. Alan |

Micky - great fish...I have been hunting a 7 for years after getting within 2oz's 3 times! I would swap that for a 100 tarpon or tuna any day ;-) Great pic
and I would not be surprised if that was not far off the Kennet Record...at least I hope that appeared in the press...along with the location being 'above
Newbury' :-) Kev

Out twice this week for a couple of short evening sessions. On Tuesday I had a barb of 4-06 and two on Thursday 7-10 and 5-05.
The second fish on Thursday was amazing! I was legering halibut pellet downstream when the rod whacked round but I didn't connect. I reeled in but before I lifted the line out of the water, I stopped to turn the head torch on. As I started to reel in again, the rod dipped and I was into a fish. Right under my feet with the light on the water. Do what? 
I've heard of rolling meat downstream, but trundling pellet upstream? Nah! I must have dreamt it! Roy |

Had my first trip of the season to the Kennet Friday - nice to know that I can still remember what a barbel looks like
