A second trip to Cary Lake was in order, after my many, many near misses with some chunky Carp. But I was also eying up the Tench potential. Such great fish and I haven't caught many of them either.
It felt very much like someone had pressed rewind on the cassette deck (you will have to google that if you are under 20).
I ended up on the same peg (78 not 74 as previously stated). i also used the same set up. a bomb out to the aerator which was running and a float out to the left. I potted in lots of corn in the left margin and fished the same over the top.
The alarm soon went off and the rod tip was bouncing. There wasn't a fierce resistance. Bream. But quite a nice one!
Why do people not like these?! Okay they are slimy and a bit smelly but what a great bronze colour!
This happened over and over with 10+ Bream gobbling up the corn. Most of them were between 1lbs up to about 3 lbs. I was quite happy. Even though I had essentially rewound to the previous trip!
You get the idea
And to finish off...
This Tench was a bit bigger than last time. I was well, well pleased!
They don't half scrap!
So, no Carp! I wasn't worried though. A nice load of Bream and a Tench is good enough for me. Even though I did have a strange feeling of dejavu.
