I just came across this excellent article but our own Chevin Chaser on how he catches chub (and the odd barbel and perch.)
Well worth a read.

Thanks for highlighting the article Snape, that was a very good read. It also may explain why I kept losing my bait, fishing the Trent on Sunday without the rod tip registering any bites. Soooo frustrating!

I've just seen this. Thanks for posting Snape and I'm glad you all liked it.
It is important to be aware that every fishing story...depends on the honesty of those telling it, the accuracy of their memory and the realibility of their interpretation of the circumstances.
