Haul of tench topped by 10lb 15oz beauty - Rob Thompson
“For my first trip after lockdown I almost went to an easy venue but I’m glad I went for a southern pit which I fished hard last spring.
“In a swim that doesn’t get fished much I was soon catching. I ended up with 17 tench, the three best weighing in at 10lb 15oz , 9lb 8oz and 9lb 6oz.
“The fight from the biggest was nervy and it weeded me up at one point. Luckily it kicked free and eventually I managed to slip the net under it.
Artificial maggot hookbaits fished over Sonubaits F1 Black groundbait with mixed particles and 2mm barbel pellets did the trick for me.”
