Excellent bait additive even as a Glug warmed and mixed with a bit of hemp oil to loosen it up abit. Over vital in is the basis of my stick mix an old but excellent product never fish without it someware in my setup

Nice I would love more info [emoji10]

Although so far my best river catch a few years ago now was a 6 lb approx branch from danes meadow on a halibut pellet fished on a hair with size 10 took me ages to get in

Thank you anyway mate there are a few rivers local to the area but research over the winter I think the Severn is a good bet and a good challenge maybe il break the barbel record on the way lol

Ok how do I pm

Wow amazing replies thanks I will be going for barbel but my main aim is to catch a river carp pre baiting and time is on my side so not worried there I've been told the stretch above Tewksbury is a good bet as there was a carp pool now Upton marina which emptied into the river when they created the marina opening. I will pm the two others be nice to chat and I'm not adverse to a companion I like abit of company. On the tidal front I was under the impression carp thrive in brakish water as per the Belgium canals some massive catches their I believe carp are caught it's just these river guys less inclined to give away their secrets;)

Not sure I think so you may be right I've herd of large fish in the lower Severn Worcester way

I'm looking to try the lower Severn for carp but am really lost as to any areas and indeed styles so any hints and tips much appreciated I'm not a river fisherman I just fancy a new challenge
