January catch report

[mrmud]

Here's my first fish of the year. 

Was -4 to start the session. Had a run, lifted into it but nothing on the end( thinking small fish with just bait in its mouth ). Then for the next few hours I could see my line pulling tight n slackening back off but not actually taking.

Turns out pva wasn't melting (my mix of condensed milk and manilla being over cooked n like caramel stopping the PVA dissolving)(first time trying condensed milk).

About 4pm I seen a fish show to the right of me, nowhere near where I was fishing so I quickly boshed a chod together and within 30mins, boom, fish on.

Managed to land a 17.32 mirror saving me a blank.

Not massive but always nice to get a winter carp

Another nice mirror for January 21lbs

Could've had a few more if the misses would've swapped swims.

They were showing on her swim all day

Well done.

Tench are a lovely fish, especially fishing on light tackle. 

There's a old estate lake I fish that I'm hopeful for a 10lber this year. So far just shy of 9lb last year

Sadly caught it on the carp gear mate, ripped off like a carp as well 🤣 but yeah really pleased with it and has made my session so far 👍
