| Barbel on the Hampshire Avon Hi Guys. I am going away for the weekend in my caravan. The place I am staying at has the Avon flowing through it and it is reputed to hold Chub and Barbel in that stretch. Having never fished for Barbel before, what likely holding places should I be looking for? I was thinking of using 14mm Halibut pellets as bait. What ground bait should I use and how should I use it?# What is the most effective method for Chub?     |

| Re: Barbel on the Hampshire Avon for the chub and barbel luncheon meat always seems to score in teh winter due to teh high fat content, maggots always good for chub, freelining bread whilst feeding mashed bread is effetive at teh right times, __________________ Both sensing and reason come into play with our conception of the world-Kant |
