12.8% selling to come off that. So that’s down to 435 ish🤣.
I know a few people that sell on eBay and most add the selling & combined postage fees onto the asking price.
Things are only worth what someone’s prepared to pay. If you don’t mind sitting on the item and times no problem someone will...
These fantastic creatures are mostly in the captors care for a brief moment. Whatever you use in there protection has got to be beneficial be it a cradle or a mat. I unhook my fish in the net it never leaves the water until Iam ready

Hi Paul don’t feel bad these things happen, it won’t be trailing the lead and iam sure it will shed the hook. Most would have missed that. I for one never check the upper part of the guide,I will now 👍🏻
Wow Steve now that’s luxury angling 🤣
If I use alarms it’s mainly still waters carp fishing.
their on a receiver on vibrate or very low volume. Ive herd alarms going off on the other side of the fishery before I almost jumped out of my bivvy thinking I had a run🤣
Another fantastic fish, lovely dark colour bill. Your far to modest bill, retired or not you’ve still got to put the effort and time in. Efforts = rewards 👍🎣
Iam not quite ready to give up with my tench antics just yet probably have a few sessions here and there.
We done to everyone on there...
Bill is definitely the tench king no doubt 😉 I managed a river tench last year from the d/stour Michael it went 5.12
I was working today but my son hit the river he had chub at 5.6&4.0 🎣
Good Luck in your river quest 👍
We knew we’d be finished by 14:30 today so I put the gear in the van this morning.
Once finished we headed to the little lake for what might the last chance of netting the mythical 6lb from this venue. With reports of two 6’s captured we were hopeful.
It was hard going once again with Nathan...

Found myself at the little club lake for a few hrs this morning, I was trying out a home made nutty type bait,
For a carp trip with my other son 👍
People have told me that the tench won’t take nuts! It proved not to be the case managed a 3.4 tench😬
Are there any other baits tench don’t eat🤣
We’ve managed to fit in a few sessions in on the little lake. Once again we fished the shallow snaggy side.
Once again the carp payed us a visit the biggest falling to Nathan 10.4, he’s a jammy so & so I don’t know where he gets it from. he had 3 tench aswell over are couple of sessions 4.14...
Visited the little lake Saturday morning for another go at the tench. fished until lunchtime with no luck on the tench front. I had one small carp and lost a bigger one to the inconveniently placed snags🙄😂.
With signs of spawning activity here also bill I expect they are favouring a different...
Payed another visit to our local club lake again today, to say it was hard going was a understatement.
I blanked today, Nathan managed one tench of 4.14 the only fish of the day for us.
Until next time maybe over the weekend 🤞
Hi bill sounds like you had another good session, your certainly doing well on your tinca quest 🎣
Good luck Thursday, we’re hoping to get out again Thursday also 🤞
I arranged to meet my son at our local club lake yesterday, He wast due to arrive until 10am so I was left to my own devices first thing, I need the extra time, trying to catch him up 😉 he’s well over double figures now on our tench sessions.
After walking my dog I set off for the lake, our...
