I have fished alot within only bits and bobs to show for it, for the hours dedicated.
With the challenge in mind I have spent hours/days on my local stretches of river searching out the very allusive barbel....with absolutely no reward! On one occasion watching 4 or 5 double figure fish swim throughout the area but having no interest in my bait..a nice spectacle it must be said. My efforts will continue until I do land one, I am considering a trip to either the Severn or indeed the Wye.
In terms of other fish I have landed my PB Zander from the Avon of 4lb 14oz, though small in comparison to some, I am always happy to catch new species and obviously new PB's.

I also managed to bag a couple of additional species when on a trip to the river Windrush with Danny, bagging a nice dace of 10oz and a grayling of 4oz!!!
We will see what happens over the next few weeks, I am determined to bank a barbel soon! It is becoming a very much love hate thing at the moment.
On the plus side I fished my first match in years and finished 4th! Just outside the money!

Good work mate
ReplyDeleteNice Zander, most of my pb's and firsts are nowhere near as big as some of he fish other bloggers catch, however Id of been well happy with that toothy critter.
