Do you just leave the prawns like a dead bait Binka or do you work them sink and draw like a lure?
When sea fishing, float fished live prawns are deadly, I think its the distress signal they send out when on the hook as much as anything and fish home in it. However, representing that with a an artificial prawn is not possible. I did make some artificial prawns out of fishing line and beads once , quite simple and a bit naff probably to be fair, just experimenting at the time.I just leave them, static... I think there could be some mileage in twitching it back slowly on a retrieve though, I might give that a try at some point.
I have done a bit of research on interweb and found out bristol avon at lacock suggested by another member seems better chub fishing than upstream .... dont know why . There are quite a few articles and write ups on different blogs and sites. If you google fishing bristol avon lacock fishing there loads and the fishing seems quite good .
So this means il give its a good go .
is there any better time in the summer when to go after rain etc the stretch is a 40 min drive from my house .
any other good tips on summer location ? Under cover trees etc and in the slacker water as per normal i take it .
Its not a rule thing with chub or any fish, they are pretty much obliging fish whatever the conditions. Its just as with all fish there are better chance days than others in my opinion. I think in your situation I would just keep an eye on the weather and if you know there's been some rain and likely some good color in the river and it is a bit of an over cast day might be worth giving it a go but i wouldn't worry about it too much. I think i must have caught chub in just about every weather and water but more in some than others..Need go invest in a barometer then but genrally overcast days but let's face it don't get too many in the summer .
Only thing is the river is a drive and wouldn't know if it's got some colour on it or not
