February Barbel


With a big project on at work, and having to go into an office to borrow a computer (mine is still at data recovery), time is currently at a premium. So it was with a sense of urgency I hit the river early this morning after my February barbel...

Just one bite all day, but it was the bite I was after and a 7lb 10oz barbel was added to the challenge. That's a five pound plus barbel every month of the season so far... Just March to go...


Dan joined me about lunchtime and we fished into early evening, not to be out-done; his only bite of the day resulted in this new PB 4lb 8oz chub… Bonus!

    1. Still don't know the fate of my Mac and more importantly the stuff that's on it... But when I'm fishing I can forget all about it - a barbel helps!

  4. The barbel challenge now stands at 355lb 12oz and as Bob Roberts put it 'the fat lady is clearing her throat' would be great to add another 45lb to the challenge. And I wouldn't mind a couple more pike. And a zander.

    This season has flown by...
