2 years of hunting down a 3lb+Perch, got one: All the fancy new lures and techniques tried with some success; caught on the humble spinner. Trusty Beatle Busters and IH T-shirt keeping me warm on a sunny but cold day

Thanks HTF…they are beasts, the hardest fighting British coarse fish
I had an up and down end to the river season here; I lost a HUGE Barbel in a spot I'd been prebaiting for 3 weeks with boilies.. Two days later my mate (a fisherman who features regularly in the angling press) dropped into the spot with a bit of meat and caught the river record ...18lbs. (Anglers mail next week I guess)
On the last night, cold and tired, I managed to pull another smaller one out, on hair rigged bread.

You know where to come Giles, 1-2 weeks into the season and I can go 80% on you catching a Barbel in a certain weirpool near me

Roving all day, finding the slacks on my little river, 20 minutes in each spot, big lump of spam…its been hard won but I am finally cracking the code -

10-12" Giles; an estimate from the record holder put it at 12-14oz, so that was a great result from throwing the float upstream while trotting a couple of maggots
