The end of the river season came to end on Sunday for me.
It was like most of my sessions short 3-4 hours....or less!
I find it concentrates the mind ........not really its just the way I fish
Anyway back to Sunday ,arriving on the bank of the Trent at 2.30ish.Armed with a tub of worms from the garden,some molehill soil collected on the way.
The plan is to fish the slack area close to cover and hope a chub,perch ,roach ...whatever is at home.As you can see no major planning just get out there and enjoy!
Said swim located ,chopped worms mixed with molehill soil add some chub magic flavouring and deposit in said swim.
Tackle simple as ever 12 ft Milbro Perfect glass rod ,Mr reliable Mitchell 300 and a Sussex Micky goose quill ,fished bottom end only.
After about half an hour the red tip of the quill dips,hand grips rod as though my life depended on it......another dip.....eyes fixed on quill....it disappears .My strike is met with with resistance and takes on a pleasing curve .I feel a fish turning sideways and the familiar bump bump of the fight ,after a couple of short bursts the broad flank of a Trent bream breaks the surface and is safely netted.
A nice fish 5lbish.....happy days.
Shortly after another bream comes to the net slightly smaller than the first.
The afternoon passes quickly and just before I call it a day and bid the river a happy close season a bristling perch of 2 ounces snaffles my worm and it sparkles in the last burst of sunshine.
A fitting way to end the season.
All the best
Nige.

Re: Last session on the Trent
Very well done. Personally I've never caught a bream over a couple of pounds, it's on the bucket list.
