Had the stick 'n' pin gear ready, but with almost 2 meters of dirty water on - I thought I'd have blast at an opener barbel (plus I've got mad tennis-elbow at the moment and didn't fancy holding a rod for hours).
Tough going - what did I expect on The Wye this season?? But after much searching I finally found some. Four barbel (to 8lb 2oz) and 2 bonus chub - and I lost a shad at the net. Off and running...
Four stunners, well done!!
ReplyDeleteCheers. Better start than last season - but still difficult to find them - I’ll keep searching…
DeleteA great start. Get a jab in your elbow and wear a support, then put the float rod away for a while.
ReplyDeleteNice to get a few fish opening day. Have to wait for a jab, so it’s strapped up - need it fixed by lure time!
DeleteGreat start! Fingers crossed for a good season to come.
ReplyDeleteGreat start to the season Brian - well done and a nice foundation to build upon?
