October has arrived and the Barbel Challenge is about to get a lot tougher, the last two seasons have produced very few winter barbel but we're so close to cracking it.
Another nineteen pounds and we're there, so a few early October sessions should be in order. And at our current average we'd only need 3 more fish to hit the target!
I've been reading about winter barbel fishing and it would be great to land at least one fish each month of the season, a mini challenge...
Month | Weight | No | Average | Best |
June | 77lb 7oz | 14 | 5lb 8oz | 10lb 6oz |
July | 30lb 15oz | 5 | 6lb 3oz | 7lb 13oz |
Aug | 86lb 9oz | 13 | 6lb 10oz | 10lb 8oz |
Sept | 86lb 5oz | 11 | 7lb 13oz | 10lb 6oz |
281lb 4oz | 43 | 6lb 9oz | 10lb 8oz |
Pop art? Looks like an fisherman's version of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Prints.
ReplyDeleteThe art of fishing!
DeleteCan you just add in two of Rogers fish as ringers and call it a done deal:)
ReplyDeleteSo close now, just 14lb to go... Then it's pike time!
