    Where you going ??

    The river Lea, but not straight away, work wont let me, and I assume it will be rammed at first anyway.

    Unhooking mat

    I use a guru fusion, folds and zips up so it doubles up as a shoulder carry bag for bits and bobs

    Tench 2025

    Nothing for me the last couple of trips, the fish have been more interested in cruising around about 18inches beneath the surface than feeding, not sure if they are rising with hatches as there are insect explosions going on, especially damsels. I’ve tried to trick them with some bread, casters...

    An angry male from lunchtime today. Fought like a demon and looked like it goes to a gym somewhere

    Tench 2025

    It’s a weird place, it is a bit early I agree, first trip I lost one on prawn, no fizzing, second trip caught one on pellet, no fizzing, last night fizzing like mad and no bites on anything. It’s just a case of working it out, I feel like I’ve currently caught by accident rather than by design...

    Tench 2025

    I will do, it’s one thing I’ve not tried there yet. It’s one of those fisheries that will be prolific once it’s been fathomed out, I’m sure of it

    Tench 2025

    That’s an awesome fish Cliff. I blanked this evening, did my usual routine… rake, bait and float fish over the top. Had an area about the size of a double bed fizzing like a jacuzzi for almost 2hrs with tench feeding but despite the fact my float was in amongst it and even being knocked around...

    A nice tench from this evening on the float, first from a new lake too. Paste wrapped pellet (nothing on corn and my prawns were still frozen/floating)

    Boilies for Tench

    If I’m using boilies I use Tincaberry, however as others have said it can take a while to get them. They do always arrive though.

    Unhooking mats.....

    I have no choice as my club either requires one and even checks it in an induction at one venue or provides nets and mats at others, but totally get where you are coming from. I don’t sterilise mine but I do hose it off after a session, it lives outside hanging in the sunshine, and is always dry...
