Recent rainfall prompted Simon Daley to head for the Dorset Stour in search of one of its resident big chub.
“As the light faded I had a thumping bite, which resulted in this 6lb 1oz chub. My first 6 of the season!” Explained Simon.
Simon used a simple link leger setup using a size 6 Wide Gape Specialist hook baited with a piece of his homemade paste wrapped around the shank.
