Firstly dont you hate realising youve lost something right when you need it?! Anyway....

River kennet @ brimpton 0430-0930

A very early and chilly start due a hangover induced afternoon bedtime yesterday! I had no real optimism of catching until daybreak so i settled down and ledgered pellets until dawn was beginning to show. I decided the conditions werent great to try solely for barbel, chub and perch seemed more likely quarry!

After a couple of hours dipping my worm in and under every bush, branch, slack and eddy i was still yet to catch. I then remembered having seen a perfect swim on an adjoining stretch on NAA.

It took around 2 minutes before my touch ledgered lob was gobbled down by a very hungry sergeant! As i got him in the net i knew straight away it was a pb (1/4lb to beat) but by how much? Oooh yeah thats right id dropped my bloody scales! So after a quick picture he was returned

If you go to the next pic along on that link therer my 4lb chub from wed.

I slowly made tracks back to the car revisiting every spot, caught nothing else but did find my scales!
