Had a superb day at Blagdon, with my boat-partner and I bringing 27 [21 to me, sorry Joe ] fish to the net, almost all in the 2-3lb range, and all to my buzzer patterns [red with natural quills and green holo cheeks doing the most damage].

Anyone considering a visit should get themselves down there. Only four boats were out yesterday, and just two on Sunday when I made a recce.

Me to on sat, with a friend, had 7 each out of butcome bay,many thanks to the two gentleman who seen us struggling and give us a hand, thanks guys.
First time for me on blagdon and going again soon brrrrrilll.

Hi Simomma, & welcome. Great that you had a good day at Blagdon & Mike/Joe of course. Hope you all get many more.

Cheers arkle,just hope I have same luck next weekend!!!
Happy days....

This might be a silly question but how did you land 27 fish? I thought the limit was 8 and they don't do c+r do they?

Bristol Water rules are that fish can be returned alive on the way to an 8 fish limit provided debarbed or barbless hooks are used.
The fishing down here at Blagdon and Chew has been magnificent and, although Chew has slowed a little, there's plenty more to be had.

as Andrew says c and r allowed but you must start at 7 fish .As soon as you kill your eighth fish you must stop fishing


all the best Nick

Ok fair enough, thanks for clarifying

As above, I went barbless after 7 and released from the net.

John, we are overdue a fishing trip, let me know when when you're feeling fit enough.

Mike, give me a call sometime. I've just had a call whilst writing this & my operation date's been moved FORWARD to MAY the 9th, ....
