Tench and Prawns

 I returned to my local club water with perch on my mind but with a plan B up my sleeve. I opted for a waggler approach with prawns on the hook and loose feed with grounbait and a prawn and maggot mix. I fished the bait about a rod length out and a couple of inches over depth. I also took the opportunity to dust off y centre pin because I knew that on this water the tench wouldn't be far from a juicy prawn hookbait. Yep that was my plan B, tench! 

The plan worked well but a decent perch eluded but several small perch came my way along with 3 tench and a carp that took me on a tour of the lake before slipping the hook.

First Lure Session

 I always look forward to the first session of the year lure fishing for bass and a few weeks ago I managed a trip out under the North Yorkshire cliffs with an old mate. The sea was nice and calm an crystal clear as we threw various lures in search of some fish. I didn't manage a take this time but the summer is still young.

Back On The Beach

 A month or two ago I ventured back on to the beach to see if I could find some early season bass of flatties. It's a funny time of the year on the north east coast and the sea was fairly flat and clear so my expectations were quite low... the best I can say is that it was a nice sunset!
