7.30am until 2pm
After a night of beers it was a 6am alarm. Funnily enough I was up straight away, another day fishing! Jar (Alan) and I were off to a local river to try for barbel.
For once, my words won't do it justice, but the highlights were:
Meeting Brian
Sausage Sarnies
4 miles walked
Casting to an area of feeding fish. 14 fish in total there. We all watched as a barbel swam away from my cast, waited a few minutes and slowly swam over 10 ft, pushing a chub out the way and took my ledgered bread!! Amazing!
Putting my hand in nettles
Lucky kingfishers
Swims that needed "special" Casting

Well done. After avoiding barbel for so long it must be nice that one was so determined to be caught.
ReplyDeleteIn that particular swim it was easier to catch than avoid!!
DeleteGreat to meet you guys earlier, and cracking barbel - nice one.
ReplyDeleteThat'll do just nicely!
ReplyDeleteIt used to be a brilliant river and in that peg you had yours from you would see as many fish in there but average 8-9lbs! with 1-3 doubles in there at any one time.
Those were the days… Unfortunately I missed them!
DeleteReading your blogs and getting advice put me on the fish. Thanks both! A double for me next.....
DeleteSounds like great day, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It certainly was! Until next time....
