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

Re: An evening with Prawns
Thanks everyone for your comments.

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.

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 cocktailCreel wrote:I must give prawns a try, great fish, well doneCreel wrote:Loop Erimder wrote:Nice catch indeed, nice towel.....oops nice perch
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"

Re: An evening with Prawns
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.
