Although I didn’t catch anything there either, walking back to the car I spotted two small pike and a tench in extremely shallow water.
You never know where fish will turn up do you?
I had a number of casts into the area with the tench naturally not interested .
Sadly, neither were the pike. Sometimes it’s like that, the fish just aren’t bothered.
I still spent time watching the fish, I always find observing them in their natural environment to be very beneficial.
