Last weekend on The Wye this season, I just needed 8 pike and 141 barbel to crack this season's challenges. Best get an early start then...
Morning: A wander about chucking the bulldog about - and after a lot of miles, finally a pike hit the lure - rare fish this season!
Afternoon: I abandoned the lure gear and ledgered luncheon meat (I needed a sit down). And a barbel & four nice chub to round it off.
I did say that your early season targets were ambitious, but, to be fair the season has been shite.
ReplyDeleteAre you targeting the Wye again later this year?
Knew they were big targets, but didn't think they were impossible - but yeah; slow fishing and so few pike about knackered my chances.
DeleteReally not sure of my plans for next season yet, or where I'll be based (hopefully near some pike!).
There is always next season!
ReplyDeleteMight have to have a rethink about next season!
