Nice one Mac, a species that I need to give some serious attention to soon too!

Well done on your pb chub Mac....looking a bit on the skinny side, (obviously I'm referring to the fish) right time of year that could be knocking 6lb!

My Recent Posts · (08/07/08

Yes CC it did look a little skinny. It also had a scar on top plus a wound either side of it's gills (you can see one of them) so I reckon this fella had a lucky escape from a cormorant

Awesome mate, it really tried to use the flow to it's advantage and at one point buried itself in some streamer weed but the master managed to get it out. About a 15 - 20 minute fight, took nearly as long to get it back safely, had to roll the trousers up and stand in the river with it for about 10 minutes

Fair play to Chad for being on hand to help

Well done Mac, lovely fish a 10lb barbel

Great result!
Nice to have a double figure barbel eh!?

My Recent Posts · (25/07/08

Cheers fellas

Went again last night for a few hours and managed 2 fish, a chub of 4lb plus this beauty

Weighing in at 10lb 10oz it ups the PB too

A big thanks to Chad for doing his Lichfield but also a huge thanks for the help in getting it back safely, I really did struggle getting it back and to swim off...........thanks mate

Very nice Mackers.

....your becoming a bit of a barbel basher mate (rather that than a bible basher eh?

)....but as they say 'variety is the spice of life'.

"Golden Balls" that's what Chad said to me when I asked him to take my latest picture

Did another session on the river last night, arrived a little later than usual but was soon set up in my chosen swim. After about an hour I'm into a fish and to be honest with the fight I thought it was a small barbel but in came another PB

in the shape of this 5lb 8oz Chub

Not the desired species but when these things are over 4 1/2lb they are pretty impressive, and being my 1st 5lber it was very welcome

Nothing else for me except for the bats flying into my line regularily making me think I was having a few knocks etc

Total and utter respect and envy from me in equal measures, what a fish!
Well done!

Does the Mrs still know what you look like Mac

Quality Bertie mate well done on your new pbs.

My Recent Posts · (15/08/08

Just done a short morning session on the river, arrived at the river for 5am and was soon set up in my swim. 1st cast and I was getting the tap tap tap which I assume were Chub, 2nd cast and before I put the rod on the rest it's looping over......fish on

It did it best to get in some nearside snags but was soon in the net

Coming in at 5lb 12oz a new PB chub for me

Recast and nothing for about an hour then the tap tap tap started again and I was soon in, resulting in another Chub at around the 3 1/2lb mark

Pack up at 9am after an extremly enjoyable 4 hrs fishing

well done, judging by the reports inthe angling times it seems like a good river that is on form, well done again.
