Releasing my last fish of the season! I've just updated my blog: https://t.co/HWzvCmKgWW

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

I thought I'd have a couple of hours fishing before dark, although it was more like an endurance test!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

Not the species Dad was expecting to be his first fish caught on a Zander Pro Shad, but this canal caught common put up a great fight!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

I was wondering whether I'd made a good decision fishing on a river when it was so coloured, but I was pleased I gave it a try in the end!

Dad with an early Christmas present - an immaculate 4lb 1oz Perch! #spiderwire #abugarcia

Carp don't just like boilies!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

A jerkbait caught Pike from a recent trip - I just wish I would have landed the fish that followed me in and took the lure an hour earlier!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

Ten years ago today I landed my first ever 4lb+ Perch, weighing 4lb 3oz, on a Berkley Twintail - where has that time gone?!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

An immaculate 3lb 11oz (46cm) stripey, which was the best of a brace of 3lb'ers caught jigging a creature bait on a short morning session.

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

This Pike was caught on a very memorable afternoon, which I've written about in my blog: https://t.co/HWzvCn1ROu

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

Although the Berkley Floating Mice Tail was designed for Trout, it's also a great soft bait for fishing on a drop-shot rig targeting Perch!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

This Pike took the lure right at the boat, shook it's head and came off. Luckily on the next cast it took again, and thankfully I landed it!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

@NickMarshAngler Cheers Nick! Thanks again for all your help at Walthamstow on the 10th!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

I hadn't targeted Perch on rivers for a while - it was nice to catch this 3lb 5oz (43cm) yesterday afternoon within 15 minutes of starting!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

I've just updated my blog about some of the Barbel and other species I've caught since the start of the season: https://t.co/HWzvCmKgWW

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

@HaskeyPaul Cheers Paul! Hope you're well! It looks big in the picture but seeing it in the flesh was something else!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

Dad's new P.B Pike, caught on one of his own flies, from Grafham, weighing 37lb 2oz. It measured 124cm and had a girth of 59cm!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

For anyone who's interested in how Dad and I target Barbel with lures, I have a feature in this week's @angling_times on page 41.

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

After missing a bite on my first cast of the afternoon, on my second cast I hooked this Pike, which gave me one hell of a fight on my 9wt!

[Sam Edmonds @SamEdmonds1]

It's amazing what a bit of extra water and flow can do to liven up the fishing on a river! One of six Chub and two Barbel caught recently.
