I fished Club Comp at Last Farm Vaaldam this past weekend.
Got to the dam on Friday to open the gate and heard something rattle only to realise that it was my teeth 🥶. There was an "angry" ice cold wind blowing at the dam throughout the day.
A screaming reel woke me up early Saturday morning. It was my Barbel rod for the Friday Night Social Barbel Comp. I landed a 3.395 kg Barbel on Barbel bait sprayed with BARBER APEX & UK MING
The official comp kicked off Saturday morning and Yellows kept everyone busy.
I tried different combos to get rid of the Yellows and then the carps came on the bite.
