Well done, it looks like all the fish there are partial to a prawn or two

Thanks everyone for your comments. :Hat:

All the Tench came at dusk, I kept going until I couldn't see properly still there is always next week.
I'm pretty sure there's some big Perch in there as you see shoals of fry come leaping out the water from time to time.

Great quote! brought a knowing smile to my face.
Almost got hit by a low flying quote but as usual it went right over my head (thank goodness for Google) :holmes: I know now I think :Ok:

I eventually caught some nice Perch with them yesterday tipped with a single red maggot and also loose feeding red maggots. You could say a Prawn cocktail :Scared:
Still have my towel, the Avon has had a tidy up courtesy of Wal and the Rapidex has been changed for an older model.
Can be seen on "Anyone out angling today page 11" :Hat:

Well done Harry, some lovely fish there. Prawns are a great bait on my pools too. Carp love them but I wish they'd let the perch find them once in a while.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
