Got up early this morning, took the little lad for his swimming lesson, Mc Donalds for breakfast, back home for eleven, load the car up and away for the day.
Deliberately left the barbel gear at home and took the chub gear to a little tributary of the Dove, Sutton Brook.
Cracking day today, bit bright, but it was a pleasure to walk up this fantastic bit of water.
Started on the pin, trotted bread flake and of course, old rubber lips was waiting....
Half a dozen chub later, and a good mile of river covered and time to work my way back , but on the tip.
One plucky 3lber obliged me again on the way back, same little hole and equally as effective in finding the same snags....
Got back to the car just as Wolves fluked their first, thought about texting Brummy, but opted to order a big steak for tea with only a tad of battery life on the moby.
A dozen or so nice chub, not huge, averaging 3lbs or so, but great fun-roll on those crisp winter mornings........
