With warm weather and heavy rain falling, he knew a big fish was on the cards. After heading to the weirpool and introducing a large bed of hemp and pellets, Gary fished a savoury boilie over the top on strong tackle. Weed was an issue and he had to cast regulalry, but his patience paid off when he received a slow but positive bite, with the powerful barbel surging off out into the river.

Well done Gary!
