Whose line is it anyway?

With the clocks going back and the nights drawing in, miserable weather and a six month old baby suffering with a cold, which in turn is making me feel less than 100%, I have to admit I'm struggling to get out and fish at the moment. Fortunately, it's half term meaning I get the week off so I'm hoping to dodge the showers and get out at some stage although a half term break usually sees the wife adding a little pressure so a bit of compromising and negotiating will be the order of the day.

Anyway, I thought I'd add an article I wrote during the close season this year which was subsequently added to the Barbel Fishing World website. I would like to be able to write more articles but a busy job, coupled with new commitments at home means time is of a premium so perhaps shorter blogs are the way forward.
