Chasing chub....

Is that a tributary off the main river you fish Ian? Do you ever pick any barbel up in it

Hey Richard, no, that river runs into the sea eventually.
Funny enough, I did get out today way down on a tidal stretch of the large river and had a amazing session catching chub and a few dace to add to the mix! I had 57 chub from about 2 1/2lb to over 6lb, only guesstimates, nothing weighed but I think I wouldn't be too far out either way with those guesses. I had a chub on my first two trotts and then lost one on my third trott. After that I had a fish on literally every trott through. I must have dropped straight onto a huge shoal of them. Even though I was still catching I left on a good note as the wind got up fiercely and a massive bank of black clouds approached. I was glad I made that decision as I was stone cold and as I drove away it started to lash it down!
I'm a little miffed as I forgot to take my go pro 🙄.

It was an amazing session and it was totally unexpected!
I would swap sessions with the one you had the other day though 😉.
I won't steel your thunder, but those fish you had were pretty much as good as it gets 👍.
