Peeled prawns anyone?

On Mon, 17 Jul 2006, Richard Bartlett, gave forth these words of wisdom:
Alec,
I use both these and shell-on prawns quite a lot for summer chub
stalking/prospecting. Semi-freelined (just a swan shot to provide a bit
of casting weight & to get them down) & trundled through pacy riffles &
holes they can be very effective - & the chub tend to hit them hard :-)
I've also picked up 3 or 4 barbel using the same tactics.

An excellent way of catching something in these horrible hot bright
daytime conditions we're getting at the moment.
Nice stuff Richard, thank you.
Had a little afternoon session today. Bit too hot for comfort and
everything decided not to play the game at about 16:30.
Didn't use the prawns but the roach and chub were feeding well on
sweetcorn and bread. Had a bit of a lull so went over to small red
worms! Mistake? Perch..Perch..Perch..Perch..Perch..
Oh Well, nice afternoon anyway!
Cheers,
Alec
