Hampshire Avon Trip No 11

I am after a nice big chub, that I spotted the other week, just below a big snag.

With no joy and the light fading it was time to head home.

Hampshire Avon Trip No9 (2013)

Posted on August 1, 2013 by richardhandel

I am on the river again. Unfortunately, due to a bad day in the office, I was 4 hours later to get into a swim than I had planned. Which I had baited up after the last trip, when my friend had spotted a Barbel.

By 9pm, I was starting to wonder if I was going to blank, as I only had a couple of rod tip nocks. However, at around 9.45pm I was into a very nice Chub around the 6lb + mark. Unfortunaly, my scales were broken, but as I have had a fare few 5lb + fish and this was way bigger. Dam shame could of been a New PB I will never know. I had better get down the shop and get some new scales before my next trip

Till Next Time

Trip No 7 Hampshire Avon

Posted on July 30, 2013 by richardhandel

This trip I was taking a guest, with the aim of catching him his first Chub. I pick him up at about 6pm and we drive down to the river. I already had a swim in mind and with a quick walk across the fields, we were there. Having fished this area before and had a few Chub I put my friend in the best spot, which was a nice deep hole with a back eddy.

We were using Gulp Bait Red Crustacean Boillies with pellet and Bait Tec Hemp and after about an hour he was starting to get some knocks. Unfortunately, the weed caused some issues and he had to recast a bit until the best area to avoide the weed flow and about 30 min after that he had is first Chub. The first of 2 x 5lb + Chub that he had (his first ever & biggest fish)

and a nice sunset as well. I did have my rods out, however, as I was aiming to get my friend some Chub I was not really concentrating and blanked myself. This did not matter at all as he & I were very pleased, which is was it’s all about. It’s nice to escape the world some times and help someone to enjoy the pleasure of fishing.

Till next time
