First up best Dressed 19-5-18

Well today the target was Tench,I dropped Julie off at work and headed to a water where you have to wade through Rudd to get at the tench.Tactics Tip Rod,helicopter rig and red maggots and an alternative bait of corn.I arrived at the water to find it packed out,only 2 pegs available and looking at how everyone else was fishing I decided against it.I headed to another water nearby that I've only fished once for perch in winter .I set up and after 30 minutes I'd managed a micro perch and loads of Canadian pond weed .After a few casts I found a clear spot and started catching some lovely crucian said and another perch .I missed a lot of bites on the tip and upped the maggots to 3 and the hooking was catching me a few more crucians.The bites dried up so I fished corn on the float rod and was getting a lots of sail away bites and nothing to show.The next dip of the float was a lovely Tinca,only small.I managed a couple more tench both to maggots .As the day wore on it was getting warmer and mid afternoon I packed up.Not really the days fishing I planned for,but was nice to get out.

Biggest crucian off the day.Ferocious bites as well.Till the next time bloggers ,Tight Lines.
