"The greatest tench fishing I will ever have" - Kane Hammond
“Just two weeks after catching a PB of 11lb 3oz, I returned to the same 90-acre Surrey pit for another go.
“I spent two hours baiting a gravel bar at 50 yards with dead maggots, hemp, corn and pellets, before casting cut-down Hinders Beta’nana pop-ups tipped with five live maggots over the top. I had no idea that I was about to enjoy the greatest 24 hours’ tench fishing I’ll probably ever experience.
“Having caught two smaller fish, at first light on the second morning I banked a 9lb 14oz tench followed by a monster of 11lb 2oz. At 3pm I had another take which brought another double at 10lb 4oz . I was in shock. It had taken four springs on the pit to catch my first double, then I’d caught three in two weeks, including two 11-pounders!”
