Three hours of daylight, just enough time to use up the remainder of the tin of luncheon meat I opened on The Wye. And a visit to a shoal of big, stubborn chub I've had my eye on for a while.
They had refused a bait so far, but one finally slipped up - 5lb 9oz, my best of the season so far - but nowhere near the biggest in the shoal! Great stuff, and if one will slip up the others will!
I added another chub at 3lb 12oz and four barbel; 5lb 8oz, 5lb 7oz, 5lb and 5lb. I will be back, there are some big sixes in that shoal - possibly even a new PB - or will they disappear now?

Can't beat a big chub in my opinion! cracking
ReplyDeleteYeah when they get to 4 or 5 pounds they are pretty impressive - and far harder to catch!!
DeleteCracking chub, good luck with the others they sound like a proper challenge.
ReplyDeleteCheers. The other chub will be spooky for a while - if they haven’t moved - but there are a few in that shoal that are well worth the effort!
