After blanking on the Thames last weekend with only little plucks and one biggish wrap which turned into nothing (!), i have decided for a rematch with the Old Father on sunday.

SO, my question is this. Considering the weather down here, (water temp has been on the up, although not much and with southerly or westerlys blowing all week, weekend weather is looking good!), What should i go for? Chub and Bream? Barbel? Roach?

Also, what baits would you use. Tried mashed bread last week mixed with a bit of stinking french brie with bread flake hookbait. Also tried sweetcorn, but there was definetly more interest in the bread.

Jonny you crafty sod, I almost gave my Thames game plan away then!

Barbel, chub, bream, roach and pike.

If Blue nose is still about I might chuck a few Mack' out...
