Noob. This my ninth season on this river, on my first some of the locals (when they realised I wasn’t going anywhere) told me that I’m a noobie until my tenth season - when I’ll progress to beginner!

My last season as a noob - opening day and it was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but I eventually hit the 6lb 1oz barbel above - that barbel pull I’ve missed for three months!

I followed it up with four more barbel at 6lb, 1½lb, 7lb 1oz and 3½lb - with four bonus chub thrown in for good measure. Great start to the season! And I didn't even mention the kitchen sink.
pb sink? only 6 more seasons to get my beginners badge it seems.wonder what comes next?
ReplyDeleteI can no longer say I’ve seen everything piece of junk in that river except the kitchen sink! I think at season twenty you progress to intermediate! Did you get out?
Deletethis weekend.been working away.sink and draw tactics another good one!
DeleteWere you hoping to find a new plug?
ReplyDeleteGood opening day catch, I'll be leaving the barbel for a bit yet.
New plug - that was the joke I was searching for, couldn’t think of one. Cheers, not a bad opening day, but not as easy as I thought (3 months is just long enough to forget how tricky they can be).
