Well I didn't wet a line over the closed season - how old fashioned! The new season is here - must be time to make a few plans. Not going to make it too complicated, the main thing is to just get out on the water and see where the season takes me - but a few targets:
- Take my Small River barbel total to over 1,500 fish
- A new PB rudd (2lb+), roach (2lb+) or perch (3lb+)
- A new river (Thames?) double figure barbel
- And a double figure pike from a new water
You don't want much then? Wishing you luck and a following wind.
ReplyDeleteThink I’ll be able to get most of them, the new PB might be a stretch - but got to aim high at this point in the season. And good luck yourself!
DeleteWonder if the "my" refers to the small river or the barbel - you seem to own both! Good luck on the targets, I will enjoy reading all about them.
ReplyDelete“My” is my total, before you get me lynched :-) Need 42 barbel to crack that target. Those and a big rudd will be the initial targets. Tight lines, looking forward to reading about your exploits as well.
DeleteI think you nee the R&R after the year you had . I trust you are still going strong and relishing the thought of the new season . Tight lines and good luck

Had my latest check up last week and all is good so far - fingers crossed it stays that way. I like to set a few targets but the main one is just time on the riverbank. Cheers Baz and good luck with your season.
DeleteTight lines Brian, let's hope your wishes are achieved?
ReplyDeleteCheers, as long as I’m on the bank tomorrow that’s the main wish sorted!
DeleteHave a wonderful season.
ReplyDeleteAnd you - cheers!
DeleteEnjoy Brian !!! good you've had a rest from fishing too, bet you're raring to go !!!
ReplyDeleteChomping at the bit! Have a great season!!
DeleteI'm on the small river.no weed whatsoever.last season I was having trouble finding holes to fish in!there's flow,clarity, sunlight.pollution?
ReplyDeleteWas on there this morning, there is weed upstream, don’t know what’s happening from about mid-river down!? But I found a few fish early doors, including one that hadn’t spawned yet - it’s a funny old river!!
DeleteYou'll have a top season, I have no doubts, and I'm certain you'll be embarking on some great trips with me over the season, got a lot to catch up on!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit of a restricted season last year - hopefully make up for it this time… Roll on the great trips..!
