Managed to sneak a short session in tonight so got both rods out and the boilies and pellets on in anticipation of a quick Barbel before tea  But Mr Barbel had other ideas  As I was sat there waiting for the rods to whack round I started to smell a distinct whiff of something very strong . I inspected the soles of my boots and surrounding area and noticed it was emanating from my bag  Aaaaaahhh , found it , Ian McChubs paste from Saturday  With half an hour to go I decided to wrap a bit round a pellet and whizz it out . It had hardly hit the bottom when the tip started bouncing and then it went good and proper  Three casts and 3 Chub . 3 and a half , four and five pound on the nose !!!  |

Well as Dave knows, I was fishing in the next peg.
Arrived a bit before rushy and fished on a good hour after he left!
A few twangs and little knocks were my reward for all that effort and that's two blanks in the last two sessions!
It's all gone Pete Tong, should have hung on to Ian's stinky chub bait when he offered me it on Saturdays barbel avoiding day!
You live and learn lol.
Eddie.

Great bit of fishing.
and there was me abandoning crabby, fishy, stinky baits a few weeks back cos of unwanted esox action, but now I find they're all over my plain plumrose as well.
Might as well go back to the crabby stinky stuff then!
By the way, dave, was that 3 unspooked chub without a keepnet?

i'm glad you caught on it. dont worry eddie i'm sure rushy will share his next batch with you failing that i will put the recipe on here for all to use I'm holding it responsible for scaring all the barbel away! I only touch it briefly on Saturday and look what happened, tonight it was in the next peg and the barbel made a 100 yard exclusion zone around it! Lol. Think you might have discovered ambrosia for chub and kryptonite for barbel in the same stinky concoction lol. (that's my excuse anyway !). Eddie. Ps. Seriously, I know you made it for chub and it looks like a winner! |

Quick session on the way back from the golf, was it? Nige The pink top was in anticipation of catching a Barbel for a "Rushy banter reply" to a female fisherer on Facebook Barbel Fishing page. She had posted a picture of her with an 8lb Barbel in a pink jacket. 3000 "friends" said how wonderful it was (wonder if that had anything to do with her being a female  ) and of course I couldnt resist a comment about her pink jacket Unfortunately my dastardly plan backfired and I only got the pesky minnow so I had to change tack on my response Still , I had quite a few likes and it generated a bit of banter and a few laughs so mission accomplished |
