Popped over there this afternoon to ave a look.
The water level has dropped to a much more comfortable level, colour is still good and water temp was 46'F. Looks like all the crap has now been washed away.
Should be fishing 2morrow and Sat, but not Sunday going to have a look round Kingsmead.
Your all quite welcome for a cuppa - see ya there!

Funny story;
A few years ago I was the bailiff for a water here in Hastings called Buckshole and I often took my young daughter Frances with me on my rounds.We used to stop and talk and have cups of tea with the lads and eventually she got the nick name of "the Buckshole biscuit bandit" because she used to eat all the lads biscuits.
She had a good teacher.Hobnobs yummy.

Anything from the green today ?
Skelly,
Didn't fish it yesterday, but my mate is over there 2day (afternoon) He's not Webbed up yet so i'll let you know after i speak to him, how he got on.
I on the other hand am trying somewhere new.!!
Paulm /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
I may be down the Green wed, thurs or fri... anyone else going those days?
Tony
Spoke to my mate 2nite (cornish), he didn't fish for long as he had a bit of a nightmare. He broke the top section of he's rod.
So if anyone out there has a spare top section for a John Willson Avon / Quiver let me know. - Thanks

Never mind the Beast of Bodmin, 2nite i lost the Lunker of the Lea - <font color=red>GUTTED</font color=red>
Paulm /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
Put it this way Ian i don't think it will be to long before the Lea Barbel record is broken.!!
Paulm /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
Ian normaly i would be willing to tell all, but i would like to fish the area for the next week, in hope. I'll private you.
ps.....1-0 to the Arsenal

You could pass me pauls email after you read it please boss.Not that I'll ever catch a barbel from the green
Forgot to mention, there were also a few Barbel landed today.
4 that i know of, one of them being a double, just over 10.
Paulm /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
Was just wondering what sort of rod you guys could suggest for the chub and the barbel on the river ?? I was thinking about a John Wilson Quiver rod and also was thinking about using 6lb Fireline on the reel. Any thoughts welcome.
This is the rod that i use for the river and with the two different top sections is ideal for targeting the Chub and Barbel.
As for line when Chub fishing i'll use 8lb + 10lb for barbel. I use 8lb for the chub as i fish snaggy swims for them. (there ain't a tree i haven't been in, just ask Cornish)
Paulm /images/forum/icons/wink.gif
I use the John wilson Qiver as well, excellent rod for river fishing for all species.... In some swims 6lb line will be not enough, 8 a minimum & 10 in snaggy swims.
