I had one days Barbel fishing on the wye just upstream from Ross a year ago. I managed a 10Ib er so count myself very lucky. It was my first Barbel fishing trip in almost 50 years.No, we're after barbel and carp. Haven't managed a barbel over 6lbs in 10 years of trying. Most big ones seem to come out of the more northerly rivers. Either way, I'm sitting in the sun, having a super bock and thinking "this is our year". May it be true for all of us

I've caught those spiny catfish from Extremadura region near Portuguese border. The ones I caught only weighed a couple of pounds but their first run was mental. Was getting cracked off on 10lb fluorocarbon, probably due to bony mouths chafing the line..... Did the ones you caught make a croaking noise? These did.
Ha ha ! Yes. They grunted "wanker" at the poor sap trying to unhook them. We were near Elvas sitting in Portugal casting into Spain.

Quick update from me. I've had maybe 3-4 lure short fishing trips over the last fortnight. Lots of small perch and a good one of 1lb 8oz. Also had a pike on that same trip. the last two sessions have been blank as the water is cooling and getting coloured. Pike/grayling season now for me.
