First Day Of The Season !!!!!!!!!

[R.A.W 1,987]

Anyone out and about on the rivers for course this weekend?

 

i'm all packed up and itching to go I can't wait for the smell of halibut pellets and the odd chub or barbel. i'll take a camera and take a few pics and let you all know about the one that got away.

 

happy fishing all

Lodden for me lads. Been baiting a few likely spots that produced top fish last season so hoping the same again. Atb

I'm a wye man too, never had a double but not too far off.

 

I normally only fish the same peg on the same stretch all season. I love those summer evenings on the river bank a cuppa tea in one hand with a watchfull eye on the rod tip. magic

Lol its a syndicate mate im only bieng taken on as a guest. Out of interest what is everyone using ? Ive been gifted some top bait courtesy of brian jarret at hinders. Managed a 5.8 chub and a 6lb on a little hour seesion on the keenet last year. A mate swears by "malarky" boilie for chub hes had some top results on it too.

i suppose i'm stuck in my ways but i love halibut pellet and pepperami . It seems to work well enough .

 

i have tried a few bollies but I always go back to the old faithful.

drove past a few times . it think a know the strecht but never fished it .i've fished the belmont and then my old favourite. I should really branch out a bit more but were I go I might only bump in to one other angler a season and thats how I like sometimes.

 

i'm a big fan of the pva mate makes for good accurate baiting with even better presentation love it.

 

any one else use pva on the rivers?

 

I know what you mean about the welsh gf too mate . it's hard work trying to do both. i went last year because the weather and the river being in flood.

i don't catch as many off the Ribble as I do off the Severn,but the Ribble definitely produces bigger fish for me.Pellet and Groundbait in a feeder for me but if the river is up I use dynamite monster crab boilies and a Pva mesh bag.Tight Lines

Well I've managed to sort it just right,

It's my anniversary tomorrow but I've taken the wife away tonight, nice meal and hotel in Bath.. Back tomorrow in time to get the bait and prepare for an early morning jaunt on the Exe... Torn between 2 stretches either the tidal for Chub, dace and roach or the weir fields stretch for big bream, plus the roach and chub...

I love the tidal though, I've had all sorts from mullet and sea trout to near 10lb bream and chub to over 5lb, it's a funny place to fish.....

Love the rivers you can't beat it IMO, ponds have no great appeal to me.

 

Tight lines lads

good work I like .

 

i'm missing a family bbq but it's all about priorities .

 

I know what your saying when it comes to ponds mate. a river has so many more things to think about there could be anything out there to go at.
