TARGETING a new stretch of the Hampshire Avon gave Simon Daley a string of huge barbel to 16lb 3oz.
Prebaiting three swims with homemade boilies and fishing them in rotation, he netted his biggest-ever pair of barbel at 13lb 10oz and 15lb 13oz – with a 16lb 3oz giant on his next trip.
He said:
“I’ve now caught fifteens and sixteens from two separate stretches of the Avon. What a river it is!”
