Xplosive

 Can’t think of a better title although admittedly I’m terrible with titles anyway!

However, I popped out for an hour or so after work last night and caught two Chub and lost one, but boy were the takes explosive!

Drifting the Koshinmushi down stream and into some tasty looking margins where the fish were hitting. The largest of the fish hit just out of eyesight behind the reeds I was poking out of and at first I would have sworn it was a Pike, as it pure tailwalked before making an urgent beeline for a reed island at the base of the swim, it was a pretty decent fight for a Chub!

Having said that I’m finding when these fish are on, they can really be aggressive in their takes and attempts to get away, I rather like them.



I have also caught a few Perch of late, still can’t find any decent ones but they are still fun and a good looking fish in my opinion.




Until next time, tight lines!

The Chub Is The Drug

Or should that be “the tug is the drug”? Either way I think I have a slight problem!


Caught on the DUO Realis Koshinmushi again! I had some small Chub and a Pike too but no photos of those. 

I think I need to target something else soon though, I’d quite like to tick a Zander off the list but I can’t really target them after work!

Maybe it will be more Chub 🤔

Til then, tight lines!

Off The Top Chub

.

I finally got my two days off and boy was it worth the wait, I’ve had some enjoyable fishing indeed and quite pleased with myself for trotting small top waters into likely looking zones before pausing and imparting minute little twitches  to induce some savage takes.

Friday was just the best, I had two 50cm fish which followed a 60cm fish right off the bat. These are the results I have been hoping for. 



Terrible selfie!






Lures used were the Taps Biedronka and DUO Koshinmushi.

I also switched to using some Keitech 2” Swing Impacts and Easy Shiners to finish up sessions with some small Perch and Pike, some of which can be viewed below.







Check out this photo I took on a dog walk, Friday evening too, just kinda like it!


Tight lines!
