10-12" Giles; an estimate from the record holder put it at 12-14oz, so that was a great result from throwing the float upstream while trotting a couple of maggots

[Giles]

Brilliant.  Congrats.  Tactics?

[RedStripe]

Thanks G.
Roving all day, finding the slacks on my little river, 20 minutes in each spot, big lump of spam…its been hard won but I am finally cracking the code 

[Giles]

Perfect, will you guide me one day?

[RedStripe]

You know where to come Giles, 1-2 weeks into the season and I can go 80% on you catching a Barbel in a certain weirpool near me 

[Giles]

You are on….

[RedStripe]

[Giles]

Oh my oh my…..

Congrats on the catch mate, great looking fish!

[RedStripe]

Thanks HTF…they are beasts, the hardest fighting British coarse fish 

I had an up and down end to the river season here; I lost a HUGE Barbel in a spot I'd been prebaiting for 3 weeks with boilies.. Two days later my mate (a fisherman who features regularly in the angling press) dropped into the spot with a bit of meat and caught the river record ...18lbs. (Anglers mail next week I guess)

On the last night, cold and tired, I managed to pull another smaller one out, on hair rigged bread.

A small, but super strong sea trout. Probably around 2 lbs. Amazing weather as well. Way too good actually, but at least I caught this one. Swiftly swam away after a quick picture. I love sea trout!

Nice silver from last weekend. I'd say around 4 lbs.
