  • Hi all, congratulations to everyone who has actually caught something and commiserations to those who have lost one. I have failed to catch a salmon on Exmoor so far (this is unlikely to change), but please have a look at my post on the dog thread to see why we should all be incredibly careful with end tackle, I'm sure everyone on here is but this is a reminder of why we must never get careless.

  • Sorry you had to go through that. That’s shit. Handled it really well and keep an eye on it!

  • Christ - were the shanks barbed too? Picked up loads of huge bass plugs and spinners from shaldon beach at low tide all with two massive trebles which are an accident waiting to happen but the bait is even worse i guess. Not sure what the answer is though?
