ano well i thought the same but on the website it says tench to 10lbs so i am deffo giving it a go cant hurt i suppose thanks for the help

just another quick question was wondering if any one could help me with i heard from a man in a southport tackle shop that the back drains is free to fish but on researching this i get the impression its a day ticket water does any one know weva any of this is true ? i was thinking maybe only a certain stretch was day ticket ?? thanks

hi i have been told by what i beleive to be a good source that southport drains hold some good tench and i know its renowned for its pike i was wondering if the tench tale is true and has any one got any information on were it would be best to fish it for them and any tackle/bait tips it would be much appreciated as i have never fished the place before thanks
