Market Drayton (5)
Evening session from 18.00 to 21.40
A change of tactics. I bought some luncheon meat and upgraded to 6lb line with an 8 hook. The weather remained warm and still.
Cast luncheon meat on free line, no weights. A take came almost immediately and after a real battle I landed a 3lb 8oz tench. It tried for the lilies and the rushes; it just wouldn’t give in.

Tench 3lb 8oz
Tench 3lb 1oz
Rudd 14oz
Shortly after I caught a 3lb 1oz tench and it had my lost hook in its mouth.
A couple of small roach/rudd followed, still on luncheon meat, and then a fine 14oz rudd to finish off the day.
