Racking them up Bill, well done. 3rd outing for me today on my own. 3 Tench at 3lb, 4lb12 and 4lb15. Also 3 bream at 6lb3, 6lb 6 and a pb 9lb7. Happy with that.

I like Tench in the spring as I think they're the best bet this time of year. They do fight well too. With the rivers closed. Bream and carp very hit and miss. Tench are the first fish to wake up as it were. Not forgetting Roach of course.

You can now book linear online. Which sounds good. However if like me, you don't know the place. Probably book yourself a crap swim. I am considering booking a day there, as it's fairly local. Leave it till late May though. Hopefully it will have warmed up a bit by then.

Pressure's high this week too.

Back out yesterday with my Nephew. 1 for him 2lb 7. 1 lost in the weeds for me 😬

Cheers Bill. He was very happy.

Early if you can.

Went on my first tench session yesterday with my nephew. Had one each. Mine 3lb12 and nephew's (his 1st ever tench) 5lb 1 (photo below).

I've had carp many years ago on dog biscuits. Winalot I think.

Windmill Hill, know it well. Some good tench fishing in MK Bill.

Hi Bill, what's that in MK?

Never use hermes. Total shambles. I worked 5 days for them before Christmas. Feel sorry for some of the people who do work there..... On 2nd thoughts, no I don't. The whole industry needs regulating.

Yes Ed, I had decided to do Clifton Hampden on Wednesday evening. Then I noticed 40mph gusts forecast from 3 till 6pm. It's up a foot in the last 24 hours. More rain tomorrow. Maybe Friday will be better as the rain and gusts should be gone by 3pm. I think I'll just keep an eye on it and see...

Daiwa 20 35 crosscast are decent.

Korum river feeders go 6oz I believe. Check angling direct or any tackle shop online.

These carp anglers catching big barbel. Are they employing carp tactics i.e. Short hook links, chod rigs, ronnie rigs etc?

Fairly sure it won't be The Gt Ouse. Wouldn't be surprised if it's The Trent. I'd love it to be the The Severn, be about time.

Ss2600's for most of my river fishing. Tdr 4012 occasionally. Heavier rods cast'izm's and in closed season distance feeder fishing. Occasional float fishing, shimano olivio. Love the QD on the tdr's and cast'izm's. I also love the handle size on the Ss2600's and cast'izm's. Retrieve the feeder...
