Former Drennan Cup champ nets trio of double figure tench

THE 2018/19 Drennan Cup winner Darryn Stolworthy proved he’s still a master of catching specimen fish when he banked this chunky 11lb 2oz tench and two other doubles during a week off work. The Norfolk lad fished three gravel pits across two counties and couldn’t stop pulling them out! 

He tells us:

“On each location I managed to find a gravel bar 30-60 yards out and just kept casting maggot feeders over to them with either worm, maggot or caster on the hook.

I had the 11lb 2oz fish during the first trip, followed by two more doubles of 10lb 1oz and 10lb 15oz during the other two.

I backed these up with others of 9lb 15oz, 9lb 12oz, 9lb 6oz, 9lb 1oz and several eights to 8lb 15oz.”
