Popped out for a couple of hours shortly before the season finished and the chub were very frustrating. I struck four times at solid bites without connecting (wasn't hair rigging either.....).
A change to the set up (move the feeder up the line more and remove the mince from the feeder so all that was there was my hookbait) and I connected finally. Didn't bother weighing it but nice to catch...A bout of illness ruined the last few days of the season for me, I had some good plans as well. I guess it's time to dust the tench gear off in a few weeks time!
That's a pretty nice looking chub.
ReplyDeleteEpic chub! Need to get back on the river Blackwater for those big chub when the closed season finishes!
