Hard work today
The Severn is a foot up and full of cold water so fishing is harder today, but this one couldn't resist an ellipse pellet along with a good helping of F1 monkey..... Thanks Sonubaits for the best baits money can buy...

Extreme Germany Part 2
The Danube is a very scenic river and one of the most scenic places I have ever fished, I also think the fishing potential is massive so will definitely be returning as soon as possible.
To take in the best of this beautiful we chose a boat trip into some of the more inaccessible areas, what can I say, it was amazing.
With Barbel swims like this it doesn't get much better, I also swam across the Danube at this point, Tim who is a very strong swimmer accompanied me, the powerful flow took us as fast down stream as we could swim across, but it was something very rewarding to do and great on a very hot summers day.
Frank is a cool customer and for years he had kept his cafe in germany a secret but now Frankie your secret is out, Coffee and ice creams on you.
Cees and Heike arranged for us to visit a falconry display, now I didn't understand a word what the German commentator was saying, but the birds did the talking, and I have to say its the best display I have ever seen, with at one point 7 different birds flying, awesome stuff.
