Another quick raid, another plump tench. increasing the season heaviest by 4oz at 6lb 6oz. Two other chances, one shed the hook after running back under my feet and a pig that did the customary 50 yard dash before transferring the hook chub like in some vegetation.
Given the abundance of birdlife round the lake I often set Merlin running and here is a screenshot of some of what was recorded whilst playing and returning the tench.
Just after this a nasty haar blew in.


Very nice indeed !!
