2 Twitches and a pull 20-9-26

 Went up to the river yday afternoon and was fishing for 4-15pm .River was coloured and a slight breeze . Set up about 80 yards where I was last week , same tactics feeder with pellet and boilie.

I spent just over an hour in the swim and decided to move, set up and got my first twitch . Looked promising . Then a pull fish on fish off . As th evening wore on the temp dropped and I was wondering if any fish would play ball . One more twitch and that was it .Off to a different stretch next week . 

Till the next time 

Good To Be Back 13-9-26

 Well where is the best place to start again . The River .I thought with the Manchester Derby the stretch I went to wouldn’t be busy .I managed a swim I’ve fished before , but not for barbel.I fished two rods, one with pellet and one with boilie.One decent sized cage feeder and a large maggot feeder . I has a mixture of 1,2,3 and 4mm pellets hoping to get them feeding . Wasn’t long after the first cast a small chub to the net . There wasn’t really much wed coming down just small bits , the level could have been a bit higher for me , but its good to be back .The next chub fell to my left hand rod, around 4lb . As the light was beginning to fade I had another one on my right hand rod , yet another good one about 4lb .As darknes  fell I’d recast a few more times hoping for the barbel to turn up .My right hand rod went and another small chub .

Result Chub 4 Barbel 0

Till the next time , won’t be as long as.

Motivation 7-4-26

 How do people who fish get there motivation back . I’ve not fished for over a year and I’m struggling .ive had a clear out of tackle and sorted my river gear out for June yet I can’t get myself of my arse to go .I love tip fishing so I’m thinking of just getting out on the tip and  see where it goes .
