Chub And Eels

Evening session, yesterday, saw us catch 3 little eels and a chub about 3lb. Unfortunately no barbel, although we saw someone catch one about 7-8lb. Aiming for a bigger barbel is going to result in fewer fish but the quest continues...

    Brian, good to see you on the bank yesterday. Shame i did not get to speak to you and Dan for longer before you headed off downstream. I managed a 7lb8oz fish at about 7.30. Got plagued by small chub after that so called it a day a bit early. I did actually have a look downstream to see how you guys were getting on but you were either tucked away somewhere or a long way down. You are definitely fishing the right spots for the bigger fish as you know. It just takes a bit more time and effort but you guys seem prepared to give both. See you soon i imagine, Jamie

    Hi Jamie, it was good to see you yesterday, I didn't really want to walk down the bank as you guys were fishing in shallow water, didn't want to disturb your fishing. Talk more next time. We were very tucked away! See you soon.

    totally agree with the above,i think patience is the order of the day with this stretch and keep hitting the right areas and we will reap the rewards sooner rather than later.well done with the chubb id rather catch a 3lber than blank any day.anyway mate see you on the bank soon and tight lines.

    Need a bit of luck with the barbel - cheers!

    Met a guy yesterday that told me he'd landed an 18lb Wandle barbel... He also mentioned that he'd had a six pound roach and a twelve pound chub... Didn't know whether to point out that he was talking sh*t or borrow his scales!
