Kennet Barbel.

Post by J.T »

Another find Barbel form the Kennet, caught yesterday on the Wasing estate.

Rod - A.J Davis Avon Perfection
Reel/Line - Speedia Wide drum loaded with 8lbs line.
Hook - Size 6 Mixa hook, I find these work better when using bait on the hook.
Bait - Bacon Grill Luncheon meat.

Love Barbel. :Ok:

Don't worry Loop you will get one soon I'm sure, if you still haven't had one by end of September let me know and I will take you to the Kennet. :)

Mushy, it's a large estate in Berkshire with a large stretch of the Kennet plus loads of Lakes and a stretch of the Enborne - http://www.wasing.co.uk/fishing-_84/ :Hat:
