    Excellent! Well caught Alex. What a way to christen your new rods and some great pictures. I’ve had a problem or two with drop backs this year, I used to be so confident with them but a few missed bites and a couple of hook hold failures has now dented my confidence. If it starts to drop I’m now...

    An eight hour blank for me as well today. Fished opposite side of lake but no activity at all. Packed up about 2:30pm. Curry tonight 😁

    Well caught Mike. A new PB is always special, great start to your Tench campaign (even if you did hook yourself as well 🤣)

    Great start to your Tench season Lewis. Well caught. I love the picture of the Kelly Kettle looks like Mount Vesuvius 😁👍

    On the lake in the dark this morning and fishing just before 6am . Had to wait ‘till 11am for my first action but then caught steadily’till I left just after 6pm. Fourteen fish to 7-14 with two other sevens in the support cast. A REAL first for today was having a Robin land on my head, not once...

    One of the many names I remember Alan but being involved with autoclaves not a product I ever used. 👍

    Keep going Paul, my fault for starting after Tench in February but I did 54 hours over eight sessions before I saw my first Tinca this year. I hope you all get amongst ‘em soon 👍

    Cor Virkon, took me back to work that did and I’m sure it’s made @Alan Palmer prick his ears up 🤣

    Washing Your Net

    When after Tench if nets and mat are still wet if I’ve caught I hose them off and dry in the garden. One or two ideas posted here sound good 👍

    6:30am start today, ended up walking half way round the the lake pushing the barrow in the dark before I settled on a swim. Similar pattern to last Thursday, as soon as daylight showed the roach were on me. A big bash with the spomb and after a while the roach buzzed off. Ended the day at 3:30pm...

    Free Spirit Tench Seeker

    Never fished with one Damian but did have a good wiggle of one. For me it was too soft and personally prefer my Barbel Seekers.

    Excellent, good luck Graham. I did put my name down for The Tenchfishers Horseshoe get together this year but it clashes with the Kent Fish-In on Abbeymeads at Medway Valley. All being well I’ll do the Horseshoe fish-in next spring, so many I’d like to attend but all “crammed” into a short...

    A crazy day yesterday! Baits out by 6am as it started to absolutely pour down with rain, setting up in the wet is one of my pet hates so my brolly was first thing out of the holdall. I sat questioning my sanity and began to think I should have stayed in bed, this was reinforced when the rain...
