Chasing chub....

[Andrew Jackson]

Cormorants……birds who visit one local carp fishery are routinely shot I believe!
G.T.

There's no other way that I can see. Machine gun preferably!

Monster great job look at the girth on it. I had no scales with me yesterday but I was shocked by just how wide and deep chub can get relative to the length of them. I was trying to draw simalies with bass but I don't think its woks they are denser.
I Won't post my chub success yesterday now .
All relative to the river your fishing ultimately. My best picture/video is the release.

well done Huanzhou, fish of a lifetime. Was it from the Thames ?

Yes, they can be very wide and deep, maybe we should call it fat.

It’s all about the river, Thames is no short of big chub, just need a bit of luck to find them.

Yes, Thames near Oxford, the university of chub.

Congrats on a massive pb Huanzhou, did you use the Mick Holgate Kingfisher rod to tame it ?

 

[Ian Woods]

I had a few hours on the river today hoping to christen the new drennan acolyte 14ft specimen float rod which I picked up a couple of weeks back.
Anyhow I did catch some fish with the rod, although nothing big enough to test it's metal properly. I caught a few chub of around a pound and a half to two pounds, a few average dace and two small barbel of around 3lb or so.
It felt absolutly freezin cold stood mid river in a northerly wind and I released all the fish where I was stood, although I wished i'd gone to the back and photo'd the first barbel caught with the rod ....too late now.
The 14ft rod felt great, as with tye 13 footer i'm looking forward to catching some more substantial fish with it.
