Warwicks Water - Thatcham
0700 - 1300
Warm, calm and overcast (though a thunderstorm rolled in just after I packed up 
) AT 16Âș-18ÂșC
2 Tench: 5lb 14oz, 2lb 2oz. Doz+ Perch: all fairly small.
Reports of big stripeys had me starting my autumn perch campaign on this rarely fished and somewhat neglected pond. It was always going to be a case of trying to avoid the small perch and hope a biggie turned up. However I thought I'd hit the jackpot first cast - my float hadn't even cocked properly when it sailed away and I was into something putting a good bend in the rod. I was just thinking 'well that was easy' when the smaller tench rolled into the net. Not quite what I was after but an autumn tinca is always welcome. There then followed a couple of hours of small perch - nothing to trouble the scales and some barely bigger than the whole lob they took. The tench weren't finished with me however and for the second time I thought I was into a good perch - though this would have been a REALLY good perch!
Not a Perch
Also not a Perch!
