31/10 Derwent

A few Small perch and a small pike on minnows

One small perch on spinner, nothing but knocks on worm

30/10 Trent

my 1st one eyed barbel of the season at 18:15...well 1st ever I think

2 eyed 11lb 0oz barbel at 19:15, looks familiar though...

One chub about 4lbs

28/10 Derwent

No joy on my pre-baited spot or with my pre-baited bait and no sign of any carp

However...6 bream to 8lbs to downstream rod

All fish between 5 and 7.30, went home at 8.30

My good turn for the day was to rescue a baby duck, seemed to float happily away...

27/10 Derwent

Lost a small jack and successfully pre-baited for following night...

25/10 Trent

Couple of hours in the *** swim for a couple of bream...

Still needs rain

23/10 Derwent

Peg **

One perch about 1 1/2lbs from left hand tree and a couple (3) missed bites

Just small knocks on feeder rods

Big fish moving about though, most likely carp...

18/10 Trent

The *** swim

2 bream

very slow...apparently rains on the way though

17/10 Derwent

**** swim, livebaits close in and feeder/ lobworm in the 'main flow'

3 perch about 1lb on the feeder, nothing on the livebait

might be worth trying the worm in deeper water?

16/10 Trent

*** swim...starting to think I might spend a bit of time here, not found anywhere better yet

1 barbel at 19:50 about 6/ 7lbs and a microbream

15/10 Trent

Started on the *** **** ** *** **** but found a couple of snags

Gonna leave that one for when it floods and I don't have to go near the snags...

Ended up in the *** swim

3 bream...well one dropped off at the net but I'm counting it.

11/10 Derwent

Perch and bream session

Just a small pike and a microbream (for the *****) of about 5/6lbs and listened to my footy bet lose to cap a crap weekend for fishing...cue violin music...

Less sure of this areas barbel potential, until it gets cold and wet anyway

10/10 Derwent

Late afternoon perch session

1 small pike

England lost

09/10 Trent

Blanks for both me and the Nookster

Very quiet, not even a chub...shit happens

07/10 Derwent

The ****** below the *** ******

The rain didnt appear to have made much of a difference to the river level

Theres big bream up here as well...biggest of being 9lb 7oz

Well i think it was the biggest, wish I'd weighed the other to be sure...

04/10 Derwent

Appears much deeper below the ***** although the swim I wanted was taken by the only other person there...

Lots of 'bits' to maggot in the middle, just a nusiance jack pike to livebaits

came back later and fished above the ***** **** into dark

no bites and packed up at 8

02/10 Derwent & Trent

1/2 hour in my pre-baited swim...felt too shallow and no flow and weedy...looks ok for perch though

Change of venues, same result...ended up fishing the *** swim, probably should have been somewhere upstream
