20-4-23 Tench

 I’m back , it’s been a while.Decided to start spring off with a tench campaign .This water can be very busy at weekends so I decided to go after work .I arrived at the lake just after 4-40 to see 5 cars .As I opened the gate a guy was leaving and he told me what pegs were taken . I decided on peg 12 , normally float fish there and have caught tench so headed round there . 

The peg , clear skies, warm and no wind. I put one rod near far margin reeds and the other close in . I was using maggot feeders and a corn maggot cocktail Hookbaits. 

The trouble with this peg is it’s narrow and there isn’t much room .I was casting every 15 minutes to get some maggot down .

This fella was enjoying his free maggots and obliged for a photo . At 6-30 my margin rod was off and I landed my first tench of 23 . 

Nice start , not huge but welcome .I fished till 8pm and decided as the weather changed and the wind was blowing into my peg to pack up and get home for some grub. 

Till the next time , Tight lines .
