An evening on the Thames Chub Fishing
Спорт
Thanks you for joining me on my latest angling trip to the River Thames in Oxford in search of my favorite species the Chub. Its a late start in the day for me as as I'm wanting to fish later into the evening. Slight change in tactics as i will be using a semi fixed bolt rig with a short coated, braided hook length as I've been having a bit of success on the Thames with this rig recently. I will be breaking the code of conduct as I will be using a bite alarm to aid me in bite detection in the dark hours of the evening. In this video I have a surprise capture of a really nice Thames Roach which takes my 12mm hot chorizo boilie and then later in the evening i am rewarded with two fine Chub. Autumn is in the air and my thought's are turning to trying to set a goal of catching a PB chub of 7lb +. Hope you enjoy this latest video of mine and thank you for watching and joining me in my angling adventures.

Hi Lee, i love to keep mobile, so i try to keep my tackle to a minimum when chub fishing. Chub are my favorite species if you've not already guessed lol. Be lucky Lee and tight lines.
Another crack video. Nice chub buddy
Well done Dave 👍

Thanks Paul. Looking forward to the winter months on the upper Thames after the chub.
Nice to see you back Dave, some lovely chub. And the Roach was a beauty too. One thing I would say though, most anglers when they catch large fish, tend to say it's a female. But apart from Tench and Pike, I don't think you can tell the difference. Bream in the breeding season is another. I could be wrong.
Oof that roach! Very welcome when they look like that!

Hi, yeah a lovely welcome sunrise i must say. Was not expecting a bite that quick lol..
Glad I found your channel, enjoyable and informative. I lost faith in the hair rig for Chub but interesting to see how you used it on a bolt style rig. I guess it's cheesepaste time for you again now were in to November and the weathers turned? ATB MMMD
Another enjoyable video. Interesting that you use a hair and a bolt rig for Chub fishing, that's not something I would have ever considered. I was always told that hair rigs don't work for Chub. It clearly does though so I will have to give it a go. Thanks

A long hair if you was using for barbel don't really work, chub are renown for holding the bait and hesitating before the take...hence the shorter hair nearer the hook and the bolt affect.
Hi Andrew, they are sticky baits krill, soaked in a hot chorizo sauce with some boilie crumb sprinkled over them. Unfortunately, the boilies I was using was a little too soft as the kray fish were destroying them in minutes. That krill is a harder bait. Thanks for watching..😊

It's from ccmoore, amazing stuff..
Have you ever thought about using barbless hooks?
I noticed in previous vids you weighed your catch with the rueben heaton 9000 scales and now you use korum...I've just bought the ruebens mate after looking at mixed reviews...whats your thought on them dave.

HI Kev, to be honest I had no problem with the Ruebens until they gave up on me after about three years of use. I do find the Korum better and more forgiving. I lost my tackle bag in the River Wye with my Korums scales in it, however after dragging it out of the river the korums still worked! and i do give them a good workout using them recommend
Hi Dave,looks like a RDAA stretch?
Great Chub & the surprise Roach. Are the boilies that you use shop bought or handmade?
