Member Vince Pickup always fancied catching a barbel on float tackle. So, he tried his luck on peg 102 this week with just a 4 Lbs hook length under a stick float with a small piece of meat loaded to a size 14 hook. Little did he realise that the fish usually run big here and he connected with this beautiful fish which Vince says weighed in "...at just over 10 Lbs!" Well, probably like many more members out there, I'm still waiting to land my first double figure barbel, so I'm extremely envious of Vince having managed it on very light float tackle! Well done mate, you thoroughly deserved that fish.
