Tench

A trip to a local fishery I hadn't tried before proved very nice.
Coombe fishery has 2 ponds. One specimen and one mixed with nice tench. I targeted the top mixed pond with rod 1 a basic small bomb tried in various places with worm and maggot, and rod 2 a small feeder with groundbait and small boillie under a tree fed with a scattering of pellet and maggot.

Rod 2 with the feeder and light feeding had all 3 fish.
2 tench, of 5lb and 5lb 8oz, (a new Pb for me), and a carp of about 5lb that fought like crazy.
For some reason I didn't photograph any of the fish. I was too laid back and enjoying the fishing.

A Cracking little fishery. I spent a nice hour chatting to the owner.
I hope this fishery gets the respect its due.
