I took Aidan today for his first proper fish, we fished a local stillwater and managed a few fish on the groundbait feeder. We had tench to 3.5lb and bream to around 4.5lb with lots of little roach to keep the tip moving in between. He enjoyed his day but I doubt he's hooked just yet, he spent half the day scrapping with the halfwit in the next peg!

At least 10 years since I caught a tench I reckon.

Weather permitting I'll be going again this week, I owe a mate a trip for helping me with some bits and bobs though the forecast looks iffy to say the least, we'll see how it goes. Lincs beaches still seem to be producing a few fish, it's tempting while I still have some fresh to see if I can work a session in down there, certainly more inspiration there than here!
