With the river season in full flow there are plenty of barbel being caught from all of the local rivers, and one angler that seems to be doing very well is Mark Surman. Mark has been heading over to the Wye this summer and armed with the Team Barbel seems just about unstoppable.
Top of the pile for mark has been a 12lb+ specimen which is a massive barbel by Wye standards, and this has been backed up by a number of other very good fish including a 10 and an 11.
Winning tactics for mark has been a Team Barbel Hookbait wrapped in Team Barbel Paste fished over a bed of mixed Grubber pellets , a method that's being successfully employed by an ever increasing number of anglers targeting the UK's barbel stocks.
On the same stretch of the Wye, James Clift has also been getting amongst the fish and using identical tactics to Mark banked another Wye specimen weighing in at 9lb 2oz. Well done lads and thanks for the pictures.
Avid Carp Now In Stock

As you have probably seen in the magazines, Avid Carp is the latest brand to hit the Carp world. Last week we received the first products and as expected, they haven't let us down. Avid are re-thinking tackle and with the launch of the Corn Stops and Sight Stops, we are sure that most anglers will want some in their tackle box.
First up are the Corn Stops. Available in a mixed colour pack or standard yellow, the stops can be used as a hair stop with the added advantage of the corn tipping off the bait for visual attraction. Corn stops will also be available in long and short to suit the length of your hair and presentations. Click here for more info...
Sight Stops work on the same principle, providing an ideal boilie stop that adds visual attraction to your hookbait. Available in both mixed colours and yellow in short and long varieties. Click here for more info...
Avid Carp Corn Stops and Sight Stops are both neat little products that are user friendly. The list of different coloured presentations and tactics are virtually endless and in testing they helped catch fish to over 70lb.
Over the next few months there's much more to come from Avid so keep an eye on the website for more news.
