Having hit my summer target I had planned to leave the barbel alone for a while and target the carp in a fairly local pond - but a last minute job ate my morning - plus I had to get bait for the weekend...
Bait shop is fairly close to the river - I took the kit and had a quick blast before loading up with bait on my way back. And four barbel in the drizzle to 6lb 13oz (above) on floating crust - any excuse!

perfect!
ReplyDeleteNot bad for a quick mission :-)
Delete'Just popped down and had six barbel on floating crust'. Sometimes you really piss me off ;o)
ReplyDeleteMuch tougher Tidal Trent visit coming up... Could be where this season’s run of luck ends...
DeleteApparently the Trent, like many rivers, is fishing below par but, should the weather change.....
ReplyDeleteThe weather did change... Not for the better..!
