Catch of the day [Fishing]
-
I took a friend who wanted to catch his first barbel to the weir last week.
I set him up and just watched and advised.
He managed a couple of babies, a trout and a couple of chub
Hopefully better luck next with another mate in two weeks time.
I've been staying away from the weir and fishing a local mill stream where some very big barbel come out.
No luck yet, but great location.
Baby robbin, fat on maggots:)

Jealous of your posts @RedStripe

Peter, Giles :
Thought Id give the barbel fishing a rest for a week or so;
I need a rest and a rethink if I'm going to get one over 10lbs.I met my mate at a local backwater, he was on the stickfloat :
and I was on the light lures :
Quite refreshing.
I think I'll get the float rod out for a bit of stick float practice, as I've been invited to S'hampton in November for some Grayling fishing

^Nice catch!

After falling asleep barbel fishing last week I've given it a miss until today.
I've been really enjoying learning to use a centrepin + stickfloat with the added bonus of an excellent (free) tutor
Anyway, I took my friend to the weir today, 10 beautiful baby barbel + 1 trout and 2 perch.
No matter the size, at first it always seems to feel like you've hooked some thing 4x as big
as what comes out!Great fun.

Great catch mate!
