This is the last call for this year's Fish-In! The deadline for applying for a place is 9am Wednesday.

 

I'll be sending out invitations in the next few days, although please note that I may not be able to accomodate you all. As I've already said, if this happens priority will be given to those who haven't already been.

 

To whet your appetites I fished 2 nights at Wingham this week. I went after the bream at night, switching to perch at dawn and dusk, before working on site during the day. No bream alas, but I did have 6 perch, one "two" and five "threes". In fact the 2 pounder was only the second perch that I've had under 3 pounds since last autumn!

 

What's even better is that a week before I'd had a perch of 3-06 that had a scar from a heron stab. On checking my records I see that I had the same fish last June at just 2-07! What a growth rate!!

Just getting excited from reading the latest report from Wingham

[Tony U]

Any Tench Showing?

[Steve Burke]

Tony, yes tench are showing. Weve had some "eights" but no nines as yet.

 

Matthew, don't worry rules will be sent out with directions.

[Steve Burke]

Please note that the Fish-in doesn't start until 9am Saturday and no access will be available until then.

[Tony U]

I was going to use maggot or caster and sweetcorn, for the Tench over a cereal ground bait from an open end feeder. Is this about right or should I get some worms as well?

I would presume the Tench Patrol the margins

[Steve Burke]

Tony, I'd definitely get some worms. Yes, the tench do patrol the margins. In fact every swim that's been margin fished has produced tench.

[jedibond]

Steve, didn't you mention earlier about ordering worms from you if needs be ?

[Steve Burke]

Yes, I can get lobs, reds or dendras at £5 per quarter kilo. However, I'll need to have any orders by Tuesday of next week.
