Can be tough sometimes mate..just gotta keep the faith👍..I had seven blanks in a row over xmas and new year and then had 3 out up to 4 pounds..chub can be very finicky sometimes..good video, keep em coming..all the best, Steve 👍

Thanks mate, yeh 3 blanks in a row now but we soldier on that's fishing especially on the rivers hopefully the next one will be more productive

interesting to compare the gape on your new hooks with others, you may find they are larger in the gape. Slow flow, cold melt water.... long landing net pole essential. ive only watched the first 20 mins 🤣🤣🤣🤣 is it electric.. the bike? always enjoyable stuff i'll watch the rest tomorrow.

Well done on the pre bait and exploring, learning all the time. Look for undercuts maybe under your own bank? Have you tried pressed crust on a very shot hook link, 2" ? Paradise not seeing anyone ! Paste and flake are going to behave very differently on the bottom, why not put a drop of flavour on the flake if you lack confidence ? Bright day in Jan no extra water, you say the water is coloured not to the Chub maybe a dusk visit would work ??? if you just want to catch a fish trotting over depth or tripping bottom holding back would probably get little ones, but you are CHUBBING, just think and try. Cold water, bright light beat you, Try at dusk Sir! And I've enjoyed your efforts!!!!

Thank you Ray I always look forward to your advice and tips when it comes to Chub fishing very much appreciated. I was a bit disappointed after this one as I thought I done everything I could but maybe after that cold spell it was always going to be hard. That's 3 sessions on the trot now where I haven't had a Chub but we soldier on regardless, I'm out again on Monday enjoy your own angling mate.
