Barbel delivers Duffy’s red-letter day ... beach invite for anglers
Every angler can expect and will certainly enjoy a particular moment when everything seems to go right and a personal-best fish ends up in their landing net.
Such a red-letter day happened to Ian Duffy, a new member of Petworth & Bognor Angling Club. He had heard about the barbel being caught on the club’s stretch of the Rother and spent some time anxiously hoping to catch one.
Having visited one of the club’s favourite barbel haunts, he moved to another part of the river further downstream and caught an 18lb 9oz barbel... an amazing fish.
