My 10th radiotheraphy treatment (not fun) followed by my 6th Small River barbel session this season (much more fun). And I began my quest for a small river seven pounder... Got one... 7lb 10oz...
Great stuff. A total of 13 barbel landed, also including fish of 6lb 1oz (above) and 5lb 0oz (below) - getting bigger - where were they hiding? The quest for an eight pounder starts here...
Edit: And I popped down to use up the rest of the bait the next afternoon. Back on splasher patrol - seven barbel added, the biggest about 3¾lb. Season total: 90 Small River barbel.
Already done it!! New target, 9lb!?!?
ReplyDeleteThat’s what I set my challenge as last time I was on the river (a seven pounder) and bumped into one this time.
DeleteI know there are far fewer big fish in there these days but hopefully I’ll find some more over autumn and winter…
