Warwickshire Avon - Baboushkas and Babeldoms

The river was that lovely sort of light green colour and with the levels dropping considerably since the last time I was here , I knew there was a chance of a chub.

So a short roving session before I had to get back and start on the food prep for Xmas day, but also Boxing day and also the annual curry night. No let up I must admit but then I do enjoy putting food in front of others !!

Anyway short and sweet like this blog post will be !!!

3 chub banked all on cheesepaste, 2 were 4 pounders, the best going 4lb 10 ounces and another one around 3lb. All decent scraps as well and I was surprised that the biggest of the lot wasn't bigger when it was landed, because it was taking lots of line in the fight initially, a hard dogged fight where I was reaching for the drag. 

So it certainly worth getting out on Xmas eve, I had the banks to myself as well, where the heck is everybody. I'm not complaining though as I fished how I like to fish, prime a few swims and then drop in a bait over the top. 

Merry Christmas to my blog readers, hope you all have a good day and the big man got you everything you deserve !!  I've already registered more fishing trips than last year and still plenty of time to go in 2023, I don't think 2024 will be as frequent, but lets see, I'm still enjoying my fishing I must admit.
