A few hours out yesterday.....

[Tigger]

 

Thanks Martin .

Yes, the camera is a go pro bought for cycling.

Thought I would take it fishing and see how it worked. I only took the clips for my self really, just messin about with it.

Just deleted the clips as it isn't fair on other people who fish there to leave them on for too long

I had a pleasant couple of hpurs trotting today, I say pleasant because there were clouds giving some protection from that horrible scorching sun of late.  I don't know if it's down to the ozone layer being destroyed or what, but this year I just can't cope with the searing sun!

Anyhow, back to the fishing, I had a number of dace roach and small chub and a single but xxl gudgeon lol.  No barbel today, biggest fish caught were two half decent chub.

I'm confident that if i'd switched to a link leger and touch legered I would have caught barbel, they just weren't having a trotted bait and I couldn't be bothered to change my set up.

I used to get some Monster?? Gudgeon at Poole Bridge out Otley way on the Wharfe. You only seemed to catch them in one particular Hole on a bend downstream of the bridge, trotting for Grayling & Trout. Never weighed them, but some were 5 - 6 inch long & Fat. I'm talking over 45 year ago.

Gozzer John's probably fished the same hole at sometime??

I reckon that big fat one I caught today was aboit 6 inches long, and like your ones it was thick and deep.  Just nice to catch them now and again even though they bearly put a bend in the lightest of rods tips lol.

Typo

[Tigger]

Yeah, there are some fatties in there, just not the same as being on the river though .

[Tigger]

I haven't been out fishing for a few weeks but managed to get on the river for a couple of hours trotting today.  I had a decent session catching a number of roach and some average chub from 1lb to 3lb.

I did have several huge chub, I didn't weigh them but they were propper chunks and fought hard for chub.

While I was trying to land a chub mid river my catty fell out of my pouch and I could only watch it float away, oh no, not another one gone ffs!
