After a couple of football-related days in Scotland, it was good to get back on the bank. Not quite up before the lark, nevertheless it was an early start, as I set off for a Black Country canal.
Encountering litter on arrival at the peg, you can see my thoughts via the video. What do you think though? There’s a poll below that you can vote on.
As you can see from the heading, I caught three species of fish. The tackle used was as follows: John Wilson Masterline 9′ Debut rod, Shimano 2500 reel, Maxima Chameleon 4lb line straight through, small bead and shot creating the hook length, free-running 1/3 ounce lead, Drennan Super Specialist size 8 micro-barbed hook.
I fished worm on the hook and put out balls of brown crumb with red maggots.
