I've started to use prawns and cockles a bit more and defrosted both and some hemp today for a four hour 'til dark session, down in the valley.Determined to top my perch personal best.
Had a cast of a lure around first to see if I could attract a big perch but they weren't having it, so I set up my hotchpoch cane along with my Heritage and decided to float fish prawn on a size 10 suoer specialist, over hemp doused with a sprinkle of aniseed oil..
My first bite, almost immediately was from a carp which I lost to a hook pull.
From then on I continued to catch carp, roach, rudd and a chub, more perch of lesser size and one of those fiddly bites that I just couldn't hit, it ended up as gudgeon, much to my delight.
I knew they were in there,well they were when I first fished the water, but hadn't seen one for a long time.
It was time to ring the changes as the bites were getting finicky, probably gudgeon, so I put on a cockle and was surprised to land what must be the second tench in this pond. the one I keep catching is deformed about the mouth so I know it's not the same fish.
