Daiwa Dorking match ace and ‘Secret Specimen Angler’ Dave Harpin from Marlow, Bucks with yet more big River Loddon Barbel! A couple of recent evening sessions produced terrific fish of 13lb 8oz and 11lb 7oz, both caught really close in from a weed choked swim.
Dave commented on how he was very happy to have the reserves of power in his Barbel rods (Martin Bowler Specialist Barbel 12ft 1¾lb) as both fish went ‘mental’ when hooked!
