7 March
Middle Kennet Estate
0715 - 1730
Mild (max 15ºC) with sunny spells after early morning drizzle. River high with more colour than I expected.
15 Chub; all over 1lb - best 4lb 7oz, most between 2-3lb.15 Roach - quite a few 'chunky' ones with the best 2 going 1lb 2oz & 15oz. And err 15 dace. 7 perch; all small except one 'pounder' & 'only' 3 brownies to 2½lb.
Usual 'chub fest' at this ever reliable venue though Paul and I started out trying to snaffle the weirpool monster - a large pike that Paul was briefly connected to last time we came here. Alas, whilst we saw loads of pike today - none were playing ball so we were soon into our usual mode here of wandering from swim to swim. Paul had a similar catch return - though reflecting his slightly differing priorities to me - getting more dace and roach (including some really chunky dace) and less chub. Though he did manage the biggest chub of the day at 4lb 11oz. Oh and he even caught a pike - by accident! a small jack snaffled a dace he was bringing in and managed to hook itself!
My biggest roach & chub (more pics expected from Paul!)
Think I've worked out why I often catch more than Paul - he spends half the time taking pictures! A selection that he took yesterday!
And he even took one of a fish - presumably his biggest chub!
