Thought I would squeeze a few hours in last night, and done ok.
Had a go after the tench and zander. Sort of went the other way!
Got the tench feeding actively and lost one in a weed bed, due to a dodgy hook length, which didn’t help. The tench then went quite. Then the zander rod screamed into action and I managed to land a 2ib eel. Not the intended species, but still happy as my first eel on dead baits. All hooks came out fine and it went back very well.
Also had a nice bream and a few nice perch.
Overall a great evenings fishing, and plenty of fish on the feed and rolling. Heading back soon, if everything goes to plan.
