Right well ive decided at every oppurtunity i will be fishing the Medway this year. So far ive had a brilliant start catching my best ever chub and my first barbel in just 3 sessions. Although i still know theres things i could be doing differently/better.
This question has probably been asked before, but i still feel i need to ask it. At what times should i choose to stay stationary in one swim with two rods and at what time should i rove with one rod? Having had one barbel so far i would love to catch a few more.
Also are there times when i should fish Maggots and Casters instead of Meat or Boilies? If so when and how should i go about baiting with them. Should i lay a big bed of them down?
On Sunday i fished my first session on the actual River (yes i finally ventured away from the weir) but despite everything ive read i still felt like i didnt have a clue which swim to pick. Every swim looked so picturesque and as if it could hold barbel i didnt know which one to pick. In the end i settled on one which had a few branches overhanging the water and a few logs and snags in a little pile next to the tree in the water. (ive found out i can fish below the weir so ive been fishing downstream.)
Sorry for all the questions but they really do help my fishing a great deal. I suspect they help other novices like me aswell. I would be partically interested in any replys from anyone who fishes the Medway as i think there are a few on here who do. Anyway all replys greatfully recieved!
Cheers,
Christian
