I started off on the Ground bait feeder with green swimstim and corn on the hook, cast out and it had barely settled before the tip went round. A nice 3lb+ tench.
Cast out again and nothing
and then about 20 Min's later hooked into a nice ghost carp for about 4-5lb.After about 1 and a half hours went on the pole and struggled to catch, managed to snare 3 Rudd and thought "Back on the tip"
Fished the rest of the match on the tip and caught F1's , little mirrors and commons. Also so nice Rudd and Roach.
All fish over 6lb had to be weighed and put back and I knew that 2 blokes in my section had called for the scales for 2 carp, one 10lb dead and the other 10lb 3oz.
The one guy weighed 11lb something and the other guy had 25lb, I thought I was close but unfortunately I had just over 20lb.
Not enough to win my sectionThe match was won with a net of silvers weighing 29lb all caught on the top 2 from peg 1.
I finished 4th I think, never stuck around as I was bloody freezing
On a side note, Andy Spruce had the biggest roach I have seen, around about the 2lb mark. Was a proper lad as he said
And that was my biggest Tench to date. Fought like a William the Conquerer
