Jeremy Wade's new series. And on terrestrial telly, too.

"Jeremy travels to Brazil to find out what lurks under the murky waters of the Amazon and attempts to get to the bottom of stories of piranha attacks on humans. Scientists have determined that there are some 60 different species in the piranha sub-family, yet the majority of them are actually vegetarian. It is the flesh eating behaviour of just a couple of species that gives them their reputation.

Just one rod and reel

I'm sure we have all had our favorite combinations.

For me it's my :- Harrison 12ft 1lb 8ozs tc Barbel Rod and the Shimano 5000 gte Baitrunner.

This combination have caught me hundreds of different fish over the last 15years and I would be at a loss to replace them.

So whats your best ever combination ?

How big was the pike

feeds@yuku.com (puzzled) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:01:29 GMT

Hi

I have posted a picture in the gallery under 'home page images' .The barbel weighed 13 lb 7 oz. any ideas how big the pike that tried to take it might be. I was staggered! If I had seen just the picture rather than the fish I might have thought that some one had been playing on the computer. Tried to copy and paste the picture on to this forum but couldn't. I'm not computer literate enough to transfer it any other way so be my guest. This is my first post so...

Fishing in Key West or Miami

feeds@yuku.com (Backinthesaddle) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:03:11 GMT

Off on holiday to Florida in a few weeks and want to do a few days fishing in Key West - has anybody got any recommendations for charter boats? More interested in a good skipper than any pre-ordained idea of species to target.

Hi going on holiday on the 31st oct down to Freshwater east, Pembroke. I'd like to get in some piking if I'm allowed by she who must be obeyed. I perfer river fishing and I'd wouldn't mind a trip to the wye since I'm round about the area, although somewhere closer to where I'm staying would probably be more practical, but I'm easy. So could anyone advise me on day ticket stretches, preferable a decent length, I tend to fish very...

loop rig

feeds@yuku.com (turbogudgeon) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:56:19 GMT

are any of you familiar with the loop method of attaching a swimfeeder to the mainline ? Apparantly it is often used by match anglers , having looked at a diagram of it on another forum I had to agree with the poster that it wasn't a safe rig at all . To be honest it looks nothing more than a fixed rig , but I am in a minority that think it is unsafe . What are your thoughts ?
